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.
