## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Paul was brilliant, he carried out the planning for our new single story extension. He came to see us just 2 days after we called and talked us through our options. We had our fee proposal a few days later and we decided to go straight ahead. We recently just got our planning approval and we are now looking for a builder. We could be happier with how easy it was! Highly recommend!"

> "Paul helped us with an annex we wanted to build in the grounds of our listed building. He carried out the architecture work to a very high standard, and the end result was just what we wanted. But the best thing for us was his overall advice on the process and his knowledge of the planning process for listed buildings and how best to work with the council and heritage officer. I would highly recommend Paul!"

## 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.
