Do we really need an architect?

Whether you are creating your own grand design, a renovation project or adding to your existing dwelling, this question is one that will be considered. Throughout the coming week, we will detail the benefits of having an expert on your team and what benefits an architect can bring to your project…

Architects provide a service that extends well beyond producing a set of plans. Expert at identifying the aspirations and needs of their clients, architects will bring their unique skills, knowledge and expertise to a project. If we look beyond the cost and look at the extensive benefits of employing architects, we can ensure value for money is achieved within any project size.

Planning

Architects can guide you through the complex procedures of planning permission and building regulations and monitor the builder’s programme of works through to completion. RIBA members are obliged to carry professional indemnity insurance, giving you peace of mind.

At Trewin Design we monitor changing planning trends and their implications for current projects. We have been commissioned on a number of large urban and rural planning projects and have given evidence at planning appeals; as a result we are familiar with policy at a time when far-reaching changes are being implemented. A combination of negotiating skills born out of many years experience and detailed knowledge of policy, help us to ensure that applications are successful.
