Expert Architects in Newtownards

Why choose a Chartered Architectural Technologist to Lead your Residential Project? An Architectural Technologist is similar in many ways to an architect. The training received is different but often interweaves and the service offered in many cases are identical. The general feeling in architecture is that architects are at the artistic conceptual end of the spectrum, whilst technologists provide the technical knowledge and backbone to deliver projects. Often people believe that a residential project, house extension is simple, when in fact residential projects are more technical than you imagine. The complexities of dealing with such things include existing structures, restrained site access, limited space, proximity of neighbours, an aged property with unknown foundations and a buildings geometry, its existing features. In many ways extending your home can be more technically challenging than building a new build home on a fresh site, that many architects boast and only want to deal with. By appointing an Architectural Technologist from the start, this can lead to a smoother project process as more technical issues are foreseen in the design process and dealt with accordingly. I’m often asked by Architects to assist with their projects, especially in the complex detailing of projects, as an example of this.
