This is just to reassure you all that business continues as usual at Snell David Architects. Like everyone else, we have all had to rapidly get used to working from home. However, modern technology and video-calling is working remarkably well and allows us to stay in touch not only with each other at SDA, but with clients and those contractors still on site - we are even preparing site valuations by video-calls! We are also taking advantage of a swifter response from Local Authorities to planning applications during this period of relative quiet. We are still open for new enquiries so please feel free to contact us to make a head-start on any plans you may have so that you are ready to move forward when the country returns to normal.

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. ## Contact - Phone: 020 8870 3335 - Website: http://www.snell-david.co.uk --- Source: MyTrustedTraders, https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/snell-david-ltd Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source and is cross-checked.
