How to get the best architectural planners working on your Killearn project - your 5 point guide

Building, renovating or extending your home can seem a daunting task. It can mean months of upheaval, making snap decisions and judgements that you hope are 'right' and a level of stress running alongside daily life that you never knew existed, or thought you could manage.

But, before you even reach this stage, there is the need to find and work with an architect. In most cases, extension, renovations and new builds will need to be planned on paper. And by this, we don't mean a few scrappy drawings on the back of a receipt found in the car!

Architectural planners work with Killearn clients on a number of projects, from larger builds to smaller, but just as complex extensions. They can squeeze so much in to a space, you will wonder how they do it BUT, how do you get the best architects working on your Killearn project…

I. Scout around - look online, ask friends and family or even have a conversation with a local builder or two, and ask them of planners serving Killearn who they have worked with and would recommend to you. This gives you some insight in to what other people think of the practice.

II. Look online - the web has so much information, from authoritative articles on what to look for and questions to ask when it comes to meeting architects, to online forums where there is all kinds of helpful (and not-so-helpful!) advice and thoughts on planners and the services they offer.  Gathering as much information as possible is important.

III. Make some phone calls - the next thing you need to do is make contact with the practices on your short list of local architectural planning firms, and make contact. Discuss your initial project plans and see if the practice is in a position to take you on as a client; is your project the type of building project they work on?

IV. Make an appointment - this initial appointment is about meeting the planner who you could possibly be working with, but it is important that you check the person sat in front of you will be the person who you would be working with.

V. Ask to see their portfolio - in fact, you shouldn't have to ask! They will probably have a portfolio of work ready to show you; they can spark ideas and discussion about your project, as well as giving you a flavour of what it is they do, and their style.
