Architectural Plans Glasgow South

Architectural Plans Ltd provide a domestic and commercial architectural planning service to the South-Side of Glasgow area.

Finding, choosing and employing architectural planners for your Glasgow South project made easy!

More often than not, the greatest worry of a client looking for architectural planners in Glasgow South is whether the person or practice concerned will be able to achieve the design of the project or property that they want.

After all, it is a creative process and, especially if creating a new home, it can be an exciting blank canvas. Like many other creative processes, planners in Glasgow South have differing persuasions, skills and concerns, all of which inform their work and their style.

As the client, you also need to consider the scale of your project, as well as what you want to achieve and one way of assessing whether the architect's practice can service these is to look at their portfolio.

But, before you reach this stage, you need to create a short list of practices that you think share your creative vision for your project. For example, you can use various directories that planners serving Glasgow South with 'market themselves' on. On these kinds of website, they will include a description of that they think their expertise are… for example, if their niche lies in designing industrial buildings, will they have the finesse for your two-storey extension?

The relationship

But, all this aside, when you have narrowed your option you need to be aware of one thing; this is going to be a long-standing relationship that needs to be on an equal footing, and one where the architect does understand your wants and desires for your project.

You need an architectural planner who is skilled but also passionate; you want and need them to be enthusiastic about your project too for it is their ability to 'see' the bigger picture that you really need.

You also need an architectural planner that you 'get along with' and this cannot be under-estimated. There are bound to be - unless you are exceptionally fortunate! - issues, concerns and challenges that will be grappled with at some point during the building or renovation project. There may be difficult decisions to make and you need to be able to work with your architect in order to create a solution that, albeit a compromise on your original plan, is the best way forward.

Big or small architectural planning practices?

Some people suggest that only large architectural planning practices have the in-house expertise and experience of dealing with projects, and yet others say that the service they receive from a small practice is far-better, far more personal than that they would receive elsewhere.

Size in this case, does not matter BUT, you want to know who will be designing and creating the plans (is it the person you are talking to?)? Who is the main point of contact?

Measuring skills and expertise can be done by looking through the portfolio but only you know if you work with your chosen architectural planner on the finer details of your Glasgow South project.
