Input from Other Trades
In some cases, architectural jobs may require input from other trades, such as builders, engineers or surveyors. For example, if a new building is being designed, an engineer may be required to carry out structural calculations to ensure the building is safe and meets building regulations. Similarly, if an extension is being carried out, a surveyor may be required to carry out a survey of the property to ensure that the extension is feasible. In these cases, it is important to work with a trusted and experienced architect who is able to coordinate the work of other trades and ensure that the project is completed on time and to a high standard.

Attributes of a Good Architect
When looking for a good architect, it is important to consider the following attributes:

Experience: A good architect will have a proven track record of designing buildings and spaces that meet the functional, aesthetic and technical requirements of the project.
Professionalism: A good architect will be professional in their approach, providing a high-quality service and ensuring that all work is carried out to a high standard.
Reliability: A good architect will be reliable, turning up on time and completing the project to the agreed timeframe.
Customer service: A good architect will provide excellent customer service, ensuring that the customer is happy with the design and that their needs and requirements are met.

Finding a Good Architect
One of the best ways to find a good architect is through word-of-mouth recommendations.
