Overall great design and exceptional value for money. As a first time consumer of architectural services on what was a large project I can not emphasise enough the value add that we got from Ben, Sophie and the wider Aura team. The effort … More and detail put into the design and specification of works along with significant assistance in project management was commendable.

Cost of a local architecture firm in Welwyn Garden City
We operate a transparent fixed-fee structure, which differs from many architects in the area who will charge a percentage of the total project costs.
This transparent ethos extends to how we prepare our quotes. All quotes are fully itemised, enabling you to see how your investment will be allocated.
We will be open with you when it comes to working out a budget for your project. We will use our experience and creativity to maximise your spending for your dream property.
We are delighted to be able to offer our clients the use of 3D imaging technology. For a small cost, a 3D visualisation of your finished project helps you as our client to see what your finished project will look like before a contractor has even lifted a finger, saving undue time, stress and avoidable mid-project changes or extra fees later on down the line.
