Walsall Architects - FAQ
Why use an architect?
Building projects can be challenging so an architect can be a valuable guide to ensure your project meets your requirements. Choosing to work with an architect means feeding into a lot of technical knowledge, skill and creativity. The decisions your architect makes will have a long-standing effect on your project so a Walsall architect will add a lot of value and help make the most of your budget. They can also advise on cost, budgets and ensure you meet all the legal requirements.
When should I involve an architect?
We’d recommend involving an architect as early as possible. The most important decisions are made early on in a project, so the sooner they are involved the sooner they can provide guidance and advice.
How can I check if an architect is registered?
The title ‘architect’ is protected by law, so making sure your architect is ARB registered is important. Use this link to check if your Walsall architect is on the Register: Architects Register. If they are not on the register, they are not an architect.
How much do architects charge?
The fee depends on the project. For standard extensions, you should expect a lower fixed fee. For larger bespoke projects with project management, expect a percentage rate of the overall build cost.
What is the difference between planning permission and building regulations?
Building regulations ensure minimum standards for design and construction and cover areas such as health and safety (i.e means of escape and smoke detection), energy (insulation), accessibility (stair heights and level access). Planning is more about the appearance and covers things such as land use, landscape and highways. For most projects, separate permissions will be required for both.
What other costs do I need to consider?
