Clapham Architect Fees:
An integral part of our high-trust ethos is our transparent fee structure. The fee structures of many Clapham architecture firms can be difficult to understand and contain hidden costs. We’re different; we would like you to know what our service will cost as early as possible.
AURA Architecture’s fees are straightforward. We charge a flat fee of £100 per hour. If our full range of services are utilised, fees will be around 8-12% of your total construction costs.

Clapham Planning Specialists
When selecting an architect in Clapham, be sure to choose one that knows the local area well.
Through working on local projects, we have gained plenty of experience working with both Wandsworth and Lambeth borough councils for Clapham properties. Most of Clapham is within the London Borough of Lambeth, but a portion (including Clapham Common) is part of the Borough of Wandsworth. If your home is within one of Lambeth’s 62 conservation areas, AURA has plenty of experience working within these constraints, while still helping you to achieve the home of your dreams.

1 – CONTACT: We invite you to initiate the process by creating your design brief online using our online enquiry form
2 – RESEARCH: Upon completion of the design brief, we will then conduct a desktop study. This will show what planning permissions and planning policies apply to your part of Clapham and your property in particular, and highlight any restrictions.
3 – CONSULTATION: After completing the desktop study, we will meet you for an in-person (or live video) consultation to understand your needs. Following this consultation, we will provide a written quotation.
4 – CONCEPT: If you’ve found us to your liking, and are committed to working with us, we will produce three distinct design concepts. Design concepts include floor plans, sketches, and optionally also 3D renderings, to help you visualise and choose a direction.
