Although it’s preferential to employ your architect throughout the project; I am also happy to provide assistance at any stage of the project; from a few sketches (that cost a few hundred euro) to the complete architectural service. The costs would vary with the level of service required and I would therefore recommend working to the RIAI Agreement between Client and Architect which sets out all that you can expect from your architect. In summary, we provide the following services from the standard RIAI Work Stages:
Front cover of RIAI agreement between Architect & Client for Domestic Work
+ Work Stage 1: Initial Design (Sketch proposals)
+ Work Stage 2: Developed Design (Planning Application)
+ Work Stage 3: Detail Design (Construction & Tender information and tendering process)
+ Work Stage 4: Construction (Inspection, Valuation, Certification & Contract Administration)
In addition to these standard services we can also provide:
+ Property inspections/reports
+ Measured surveys, preparation of plans of existing buildings/sites
+ Planning Appeals
+ Preparation of land registry maps
+ Work to protected structures or buildings in conservation areas
+ Detailed advice on Lifetime and Sustainable design
+ Consultants on site suitability/percolation tests & structural analysis/engineering
Whilst many of our clients are in the West of Ireland, we are able to travel to any location in Ireland and in the UK and internationally.
As a UK (ARB) Registered and Chartered RIBA architect (as well as registered and chartered in Ireland under RIAI) we are also able to use the RIBA Standard Agreement for the Appointment of an Architect for UK/overseas projects.
