## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Great experience from start to finish with the end result far exceeding expectations. Steve and team performed all trades, plumbing, electrics, plastering, carpentry etc you name it they did it so no need for multiple trades coming and going. Steve's experience and tenacity for perfection came to the fore when faced with the challenges of an old property and a customer with little vision and design flare! Great advice and solutions. Professional, creative, friendly, trustworthy and reliable. I would highly recommend."

> "As a landlady of multiple properties I need trades people I can trust and rely on for quality workmanship at a fair price. I know I can trust Steve & his team at SJF Master Builders and I use them time & time again for both large projects and smaller jobs. He always turns up when he says he will, gets the work done in a timely manner and is highly skilled and knowledgable in multiple trades. Steve and his team have the expertise to resolve any issue. I have always been happy with the work he has done and I can highly recommend him."

## 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.
