Featured Reviews for Architects in Charminster, Dorset, UK

VESP Architects
Architects in Charminster, Dorset, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 September 2014
“A friendly and professional practice - a pleasure to work with. Impressive timber frame design knowledge and excellent communication made this project an absolute joy - we hope to work with you again soon. So successful was this partnership that we've been jointly shortlisted for 'Best Oak Frame' at the Build It Awards 2014 - fingers crossed! Photo Credits: van Ellen + Sheryn”
NDM Architects
Architects in Charminster, Dorset, UK
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars16 January 2017
“I found NDM Architects on the Web and not as a consequence of a personal recommendation. They offered an hour's free consultation which proved very helpful and gave me confidence to instruct them. Their website was well laid out detailing exactly what their services included. This was supported by a detailed "step by step" letter of instruction with itemised costs for each step of work. Service was always prompt with most replies (phone and E mail) by return. They came up with design ideas we would not have thought of had we instructed a builder directly. I'm pleased I instructed them especially in dealing with paperwork for approvals of the District Council and recommending builders to undertake the works.Money well spent.”
Fitzgerald Architecture
Architects in Charminster, Dorset, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 October 2019
“John took our ideas for a new kitchen extension and developed the plans and proposal so that we gained planning permission without any issues. John also attended the parish council planning meeting to ensure there were no issues at this stage. With his help and guidance a specification was developed from which we were able to have a number of contractors bid, going on to select one to complete the build. Although we knew exactly what we wanted out of this project we initially had trouble engaging builders before we started working with John, due to the unusual construction methods being used. With John’s expertise, advice and attention to detail on-board the project was completed and we have been enjoying the kitchen extension for the last six months.”

“I was recommended to e-ten by a friend who had been impressed with their service. I found Jonathan Nuth to be an intelligent and practical man who both listened to his client and thought laterally around the brief. His presentation of the planning application was such that we had no objections to our proposals and received approval without difficulty.”

B G Helps - Design
Architects in Charminster, Dorset, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 July 2016
“Having a construction company with an excess of 50+ employees I employed Brian as a designer and project manager for an exclusive and important restoration and conversion of a huge manor house. I can safely say executed his role far beyond what was expected of him, to the point whereby I was loathed to lose his skills, expert knowledge and skilful client, labour and sub-contractor management. Brian not only brought design and project management, he went beyond what was expected by sourcing innovative ideas and materials to please my client. If you are looking for a professional to design or/and manage your project you would have to go far and wide to find anyone better.”
NEST architecture
Architects in Charminster, Dorset, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 February 2017
“My wife and I hired NEST to design and provide solutions to change a bungalow in to a family home, with an eye on sustainability and eco. You won’t find a better or more knowledgeable architect who really cares about your build. We could not be happier with the work, and not a day goes by without my family and I appreciating the warm and open space we are lucky enough to live within. Thank you again!”
Footprint Architects Ltd
Architects in Charminster, Dorset, UK
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 February 2018
“‘The initial design captured the essence of what we wanted immediately and needed very few refinements. The vision our architect demonstrated in working with a very difficult, steeply sloping garden was remarkable and the end result is elegant and refined, delivering way more than we had hoped. The entire project was expertly handled and a joy to be a part of.’”

Architect or Architectural Designer FAQs
An architect is a professional who designs and creates building plans, ensuring the building is functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. They collaborate with clients to understand their needs and create designs that meet their requirements. Architects also consider building codes, regulations, and sustainability principles in their designs. They may oversee the construction process to ensure it aligns with the design intent.
If you are looking at a house extension or building a new home from scratch, chances are you are going to need the help of a residential architect. They have extensive knowledge of architectural design, construction methods and building materials, not to mention a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light and flow within a property. Architects will also be far more capable of seeing the bigger picture – carefully balancing aesthetic appeal with structural safety. With their local knowledge, your Charminster architect will also often help to obtain planning permission and building regulations approval.

    After choosing a residential architect, you will usually start with a consultation to discuss the project. Preferably at your property or building site where the work will be done. Give as clear a picture as possible of the kind of home you are trying to create to your architects. Chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and feedback, together with any very specific requirements you might have. They will explain their process to you alongside any other on-site visits up to and including the build stage, depending on whether they will be involved at that stage. From there they will produce the designs and plans required for your project.
    The cost of hiring an architect in Charminster can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project, experience, reputation, and location. Architectural fees are typically structured as a percentage of the project’s total construction cost, ranging from 8% to 15%. For example, if a project has a construction cost of £500,000 and the architect’s fee is 10%, the fee would be £50,000. It’s advisable to discuss fees and payment structures with architects in Charminster during initial consultations.
