Do I really need an architectural planner?
When looking to create a stunning home, worthy of the glossy pages in a magazine, it is possible with time and energy to create yourself. However, a professional architectural planner could offer you so much more in terms of design but there are other options but beware, there are pitfalls too.
Buying a 'stock building plan'
These are off-the-shelf plans that various architectural planning practices and designers create and sell on the mass market usually through magazines and other outlets. They are available in a wide range of designs, sizes, styles and to meet most budgets.
! PITFALLS !Such mass produced designs may not suit you or the area in which you intend on building your home. Don't forget, even these designs will need to pass planning regulations which, if it out of keeping with the locality will not be passed (without some difficulty). Planners operating locally within Kilmarnock will have a better idea of the locality and climate etc.
Opting for new developments
Occasionally, where there are new housing developments it is possible to a certain extent to build a home that meets some of your requirements. New builds can sometimes have a set number of approved architectural plans which, on payment of a deposit, you can opt for which design you would like your new home to be.
This is only half deigning a home, in which you will only receive a certain number of features that you can opt for whereas some others will be standard. This option will not give you the customised and unique design home that you could achieve with architectural planners in Kilmarnock.
Hire a designer
A designer will not hold the same qualifications as an architectural planner and can develop some interesting plans for you. They can successfully create designs for you and are thought to be more cost effective that an planner.
! PITFALLS ! Designers tend to be design traditional styles houses whereas planners for can design unique, detailed plans to create a unique home. They take their inspiration from you and your needs, rather than you fitting in with a design.
Architectural planners for Kilmarnock projects, big or small, are a worthwhile service in which to invest. They wear can wear many hats - they design your project and source materials; they can supervise and over see the project from beginning to end. They will visit the site and decide the best direction in which the build the house, fitting in the landscape as well as making the best of out it too.
