“ Whether you want to extend your existing home, restore an old property or build a new one, it makes sense to call in an architect’s help. From suggestions on how to make the best use of space and light, to fittings, materials and fixtures, the professional input can give the smallest of projects the wow factor. An architect can help you through the pitfalls of the planning process, the minefield of building regulations, obtain competitive quotes from contractors, deal with the builders, and even run the project to ensure your best laid plans are turned into reality. ”
