What can I expect from the consultation?

At your consultation,  the architect can advise on any size of building project from a loft conversion to a new build (domestic, commercial or civic). Some things you might discuss:

  • Information on building costs or construction techniques
  • Discussion on building materials likely to be used
  • Planning requirements or Planning Exempt Development.
  • The documents that will be used for planning; tenders; and building contracts
  • The potential pitfalls or opportunities that comes with a building project
  • Guidance on architect’s fees and services

Architect Aisling Shannon Rusk wrote a blog post for us, explaining the kinds of things she discusses in consultations with clients.

100% of all funds raised by ‘ask an architect’ support Friends of the Cancer Centre and their cancer research through clinical trials, thanks to your donations and our fantastic sponsors who cover administrative costs and provide critical pro bono services.

The clinical trials supported by ask an architect are research studies involving patients. Through clinical trials, doctors can find new ways to treat certain types of cancer, improve existing treatments and improve the quality of life for patients, with the ultimate aim of improving a patient’s outcome.
