## About
Russell Taylor Architects: Proudly serving Cornwall and London, we specialise in Classical, period and traditional architecture and design. We make beautiful buildings. Buildings that are sustainable, practical and cost effective – timeless elegance economically achieved. At the heart of our work is Georgian architecture, admired for its sense of order, restrained decoration and beauty – qualities people wish to have in their own homes. Our specialist practice knows how to design in the Georgian tradition – and just as important, we know the builders and crafts people who can do it. We have an award-winning record applying these design principles to new buildings, refurbishments, extensions and interiors. Most of our business comes by word of mouth – the result of having satisfied clients.

## 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.
