"When you appoint an RIBA Chartered architect you are employing someone who has undertaken seven years of training - no other building professional is trained in design and construction to such a level of expertise. An architect will help you achieve your aspirations and vision, and add value to your project through good design and sound construction management. An architect may well be the best investment you ever make".
