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: 02034750404 - Website: https://www.yokokloeden.com --- Source: MyTrustedTraders — https://mytrustedtraders.com/traders/yoko-kloeden-design-2 Real public evidence only: every figure traces to a named source and is cross-checked.
