PLANNING an ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT in SOUTHEND or RAYLEIGH?
Do I need an architect for my project based in Southend-on-Sea or Rayleigh?
If you live in Southend or the neighbouring town of Rayleigh, you might be wondering if you need an architect for your project. We always suggest that unless you are planning something quite simple, then you should talk to us for expert architectural advice before starting your project.
What should I look for in an Architect in Southend or Rayleigh?
Some architects in Southend or Rayleigh might say that they ‘trained as an architect’ or ‘worked for an architect company’ or ‘attended a school of architecture’. None of this makes someone an architect. An Architect is trained for at least 7 years before becoming registered with the Architects Registration Board (arb.org.uk). The term “architect” is protected by law. and the ARB regularly prosecute those posing unlawfully as architects. We are listed under ‘Steven Jackson’ registration number 050858F.
How do I find out if I need planning permission for my architectural project in Southend or Rayleigh?
