Why choose a fully qualified Chartered Architects and Planner
Lets start by stating that not all those advertising building services are qualified architects and town planners. Always insist on proof of memberships of the professional bodies above. Unqualified operators are highly unlikely to have the necessary skills, may not be insured and regulated. If things do not go to plan you as the owner are left unprotected. Your home is the most costly item you possess followed by any works you do to it. Cheap quotes are just that: cheap!! Don't risk it!! You would't want to be seen by an unqualified doctor or buy a 2nd hand tatty car!!
The name 'Architect' is protected in the UK. All architects must be registered with ARB. Registered architects must undergo a fully recognised course lasting 7 years in order to become registered with ARB. A minimum sum of insurance of quarter a million pounds for each and every fault is mandatory for ARB member. Architects are regulated; this means that they carry out their duties in a certain prescribed manner set out by their institutes.
