> "I’m a bit late with this review, but now that I’m finally settled, I had to come back and give a huge thank you to Smbat and his team before 2026. They did an exceptional job renovating my bathroom and kitchen. Smbat is such a humorous, helpful guy who really tries to understand your taste and work around it. I’m in love with the results, and I’ve received many compliments. They pushed through and delivered amazing work. The pricing was also very reasonable. I would recommend him to anyone especially if you have Pintrest style taste in interiors. Thank you once again! Shanaz & Mo"

## 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.
