## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Impressed by Bianca's glowing reviews, I engaged her for the planning of a sui generis 7-bed HMO project in Reading, involving an extension and L-shaped dormer. She proved incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and ensured a smooth process throughout. We extended our collaboration with Bianca acting as our project manager, where she effectively liaised with builders and building control. Most notably, her amazing staging maximized rental income – we're now securing £950/month for the dormer bedroom. The project's success means I can now get all the funds back through remortgaging."

> "We recently completed a 3 to 6 bed HMO conversion project in Reading that included taking the house back to brick and adding an extension and a dormer. From start to finish, the process was seamless. We secured the property at an excellent price, and Bianca expertly managed the construction project, offering a variety of layout and interior design options that truly made the property stand out. We are confident that we will recoup our investment through remortgaging and renting it out to professionals within the first year."

> "I had initially attempted to engage an online architect for a 6m extension project in Reading. Unfortunately, the plans they provided fell short of plannining approval and lacked crucial details. Thankfully, Bianca came to our rescue. Not only did she secure the approval for us, but she also went the extra mile by suggesting a builder who offered a 20% lower quote. This cost-saving allowed us to invest in interior design elements and upgrade our kitchen, enhancing the overall outcome of the project. Highly recommended!"

## 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.
