Architects Cheshire

We are a Wirral based architects practice, working from offices in Heswall. All projects are designed and led by a RIBA Chartered Architect. Covering Wirral and much of Cheshire and Merseyside, we have been established over 10 years and have grown our reputation on personal service coupled with sympathetic and innovative design. We offer:

• Services in relation to House extensions, alterations, refurbishments and ‘new builds’.
• Drawings to help your contractor assure the highest build quality possible.
• Contract administration to help your project to be completed on budget and on time.
• Project management that can remove the risk of poor practices or workmanship.

Embarking on any alteration to your home can be a daunting experience. Knowing where to start is very difficult but working out how much you can afford is probably the best place to begin. Working with architects-direct.com from the very start will ensure you have all areas covered including:

• Planning and design cost
• Structural design and other professional fees.
• Builder costs based on competitive tendering with no ‘extras’.
• Finishing schedule consideration.

Normally set as a percentage of the total building cost, clients might not know the cost of the architectural services until the end of the project. We think that the client should know exactly how much the planning and project administration cost will be, before even beginning the whole process.

• Fixed fees for whole project with no hidden charges.
• Flexible choice of services depending on what is required.
• Design and build cost specifically tailored to your budget.
• Early estimate of total project cost.

You might ask ‘Why do I need an architect?’ especially if your alterations or extension is quite small. The standard services of an architect usually vary depending on the size of the project. Whether it be a large ‘new build’ house or a small extension, architects-direct.com will ensure the best possible finish from your builder by working closely with you and them until completion. We offer:

• Sketch proposals with alternative designs to choose from.
• Planning application and Proposals, if required.
• Building regulations are a mandatory requirement and we prepare detailed drawings to ensure the builder works from the best possible information.
• Preparation of finishes schedules
• Issue of drawings and finishes schedule for pricing and Contractor selection, help and advice throughout this process.
• Project management to ensure the job runs to plan and the budget is monitored.
