## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Rachael has been a true professional from our very first meeting and ongoing with our project. Her ideas and input have been really helpful and all work up to the current stage has been done to a high standard. Rachael is very helpful with explaining all the stages and processes to us as we have never had building work done before. We look forward to working with her throughout the rest of the project and to see the end results."

> "I am a freelance architect and Light House Studio undertook a Feasibility Design Report for me as a sub consultant architect as I needed some assistance to manage my workload. This early stage report showed options for the renovation including CAD plans and sketch 3D visuals; existing and demolition drawings, design reference images, and kitchen layout. It was produced to a high quality and the client was pleased with the outcome. I then took over the design for the next project stage. Rachael is a professional but also considerate architect."

## Before you hire an architect
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Only someone on the Architects Registration Board (ARB) register may legally call themselves an 'architect' in the UK. Ask for their ARB number and check it free at arb.org.uk. An 'architectural designer' or 'technologist' is a different, unregistered role (often capable, but not the same protection).
- Agree how they charge before any work starts (a percentage of the build cost, a fixed fee, or an hourly rate) and exactly which stages it covers (concept design, planning application, building-regulations drawings, work on site), so there are no surprises later.
- Confirm what they will actually handle versus what is excluded (the planning application, the building-control drawings, and whether they will administer the builder's contract on site), and get it, and a portfolio of similar projects, in writing.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
- Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
