How can an ASBA Architect help me?

All ASBA Architects have particular interest and skills relating to the design and construction of houses, whether refurbishment, extension or new build.

An architect is trained to offer the most imaginative solutions to your needs, adapting house styles and construction methods to suit you. Architects can design any type of house, giving advice on the suitability of brick, stone, concrete block or timber construction.

They can act as an independent advisor at any stage of your project, whether you are buying land or paying contractors. Their aim is always to obtain you the best quality for the most competitive price. Since architects obtain no commission for the specification of materials, any savings made on the build cost of your house will be passed directly to you, maybe allowing for a few extra luxuries.

With your priorities and particular needs as a starting point, an architect can work with you to design your home to match your requirements exactly, defining the final size of your house to suit your budget. An architect's creative ability will ensure that any fittings or materials you choose are used effectively to reflect your personality and lifestyle. Using an architect gives you the opportunity to build a house as individual as yourself.
