Questions
Why do I need an architect for my home project?
An architect ensures your investment maximises value through tailored designs, planning expertise, and coordination with specialists, ultimately saving costs and enhancing outcomes.
How long does the planning process typically take?
Local authorities often take longer than 12 weeks for decisions. We advise starting early to allow 4-6 months for technical packages and 3 years to begin construction after approval.
What are your design fees based on?
Fees range from 3-15% of build costs, depending on project complexity. We offer fixed fees and budget analysis to ensure transparency and alignment with client goals.
Do you work outside Cheshire?
Yes, we serve clients across the North West, Wales, and internationally, leveraging our local planning knowledge while accommodating projects further afield.
What insurance do you provide?
We hold Public Liability and Professional Indemnity Insurance for all projects, adhering to the 2020 RIBA Plan of Works standards.
Can you assist with sustainable building methods?
Certified by the Green Register, we specialise in eco-friendly designs using modern methods like SIPs and ICF to create energy-efficient, future-ready properties.
