Make your existing home work better, room by room.
Search is free. Choose the architects you want to approach; participation and availability are confirmed before an introduction. A listing is not a promise that a firm can take on your project.
What should you establish first?
Renovation can improve circulation, natural light and how rooms connect without a large addition. Establish what should stay before designing what changes.
Your first-meeting checklist
- Existing condition and survey information
- structural changes
- insulation and ventilation
- service upgrades
- a phased budget
What should the proposal include?
Ask the architect to separate essential repairs, design improvements and optional finishes. Agree whether you need tender information and support during building work.
Compare a clear written scope
Check the named professional, relevant project experience, services, exclusions, revisions and fee basis. Confirm registration and insurance before appointment. RIBA membership and ARB registration are different checks; a directory listing does not establish both.

How do I find someone near my project?
Use the directory location filter with your town or postcode, then compare the evidence on each profile. Office location alone does not establish a firm’s service area.
