Help And Advice To Select The Best Architect In Berkshire
Hiring an architect can be a daunting prospect, particularly if it is your first project and you are very limited for time. We want to make everything as easy and transparent as possible, as we know that some of the architecture jargon can get very confusing!
Because of this, AURA have created an easy to follow Blogs and FAQ’s Pages and also a Youtube Channel which we regularly update.
Architecture fees can be looked upon as an unnecessary cost rather than the value that they can bring, but a good architect will use their experience to fully understand your brief, while offering suggestions to give more options, and will deliver far more value than the cost of their fees.
Architecture Firm Costs
AURA have a transparent fixed fee structure, which can be viewed online here. This differs with many architects in Reading and Berkshire, who charge a percentage of the project costs.
The quotes that we provide are fully itemised, this means that you can make an informed decision on which architect that you chose. It also means that you can see how and where your budget is being allocated, maximising your budget to its full capacity will mean that you can get more of the things that you want in your home, however, we never like to see our clients go above the line.
Getting everything laid out from the start means that you will not be left with any unpleasant surprises. AURA is open and transparent and want to work with our clients to maximise the value of the property and meet their desires and needs.
