How To Choose
An Architect?

Cost, Time & Design Quality
Securing the services of a residential architect in London that aligns with your project requirements is crucial to its success.

The determinants for success can vary significantly among homeowners, encompassing aspects such as design quality, project cost, timescale, process efficiency, professional conduct, and overall satisfaction with the journey.

Your position on this spectrum will inform the type of architectural service best suited for your needs.
Two Broad Categories
In general architectural services in London can be classified into two broad categories: expensive design-led architecture or budget-friendly drafting and online services. Both have their respective merits and limitations, as described in the next section.
Expensive & Design-led
For clients with substantial budgets, complex and ambitious design goals, and projects exceeding £300k, most Clients choose a traditional, design-led architectural service.

Design-led architectural firms in London are typically registered with professional organisations such as RIBA and ARB and provide comprehensive support throughout the project lifecycle, including project management and liaison with other relevant professionals such as structural engineers and party wall surveyors.

For this level of service, clients can expect to spend 10-20% of the overall construction budget on architectural services.
Cheap Drafting Companies
On the other hand, drafting companies or online architectural services in London are geared towards clients with simple projects, limited budgets, or tight timelines.

While they may lack formal architectural qualifications, they can produce simple planning and building control drawings that meet legal requirements for most extension and renovation projects in London and the UK. This option is best suited for homeowners on very tight budgets, not very high design aspirations and/or a project that does not entail complex planning considerations like conservation areas or listed building consent.

However, drafting companies typically provide minimal design services and limited support post-drawing delivery.
My-architect
At My-architect, we offer a third option that bridges the gap between cost-effective design-led architectural services.
