As the then trustee of the Grade I listed Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery designed by Sir John Soane, I was responsible for leading the procurement of the Pitzhanger Lodge in Ealing Council (London Borough of Ealing) that recently won a RIBA London award designed by Joanne Townshend . Some tips on procuring a beautifully designed small project . 1 - Select an Architect that is able to undertake as many of the lead design services as possible. You never need a cast of many and the Architect is always best placed to lead and coordinate a project of this scale. Jo was Architect, Lead designer, Project manager, Planning consultant, Contract administrator and Principle Designer. It worked like clockwork . 2 - If you want the structure to be expressive and be able to tell its own story, pick an engineer that see's their practice as making art. Steve Webb of Webb Yates Engineers practices this way . 3 -To reduce carbon in the building, first reduce it in its fabric . We decided to make the entire structure without steel or concrete and instead from timber. 4-Omit as much of the needles technology as possible ...it will go out of date and only ever goes wrong. Buildings don't need to be over complicated, instead allow them to be easily adapted. 5- Finally, pick individuals whether they are the designers or contractors that you know that when you a hit a problem and you will, that there is a culture to work together and proactively find a solution.

How an Architect Can Save You Time and Money During Construction

The design and build model stands as a stark contrast to the traditional methods of construction. Under a traditional method, a client engages an architect to draft blueprints. Subsequently, a separate contractor is hired to execute the construction. In contrast, design and build consolidate these phases, establishing a single contractual entity responsible for both design and construction. This fosters greater collaboration and seamless communication from inception to completion. #interiordesign #commercialrenovation #officefurniture #officeinteriors #jadeworks #reinstatement

Contrary to some thinking, #architects gain the freedom to design when working with pre-engineered buildings systems and an ideal engineering and construction partner like us. Read how! #design #architecture #buildings #building #steel #metal #preengineering #PEB #IMP

WHO IS AN ARCHITECT??? An architect is a professional who is trained in the design and planning of buildings and other physical structures. Architects are responsible for creating functional, aesthetically pleasing, and safe environments for people to live, work, and interact. They combine artistic vision with technical knowledge to ensure their designs meet the needs of their clients, adhere to building codes and regulations, and are structurally sound. Key responsibilities of an architect include: Designing buildings: Creating architectural plans that reflect both the functional requirements and aesthetic desires of the client. Ensuring safety: Ensuring that the structure complies with all safety standards and regulations, including structural integrity, fire safety, and accessibility. Project management: Overseeing the construction process to ensure the design is executed as planned and stays within budget and schedule. Collaboration: Working with other professionals such as engineers, urban planners, interior designers, and contractors to bring the vision to life. Architects may specialize in various areas, including residential, commercial, industrial, urban, or landscape architecture, and can also focus on sustainability or historic preservation.

Most post-secondary #architectural programs do not dedicate a great deal of time to pre-engineered #steel #building systems. But they should, because with the popularity and cost-effectiveness of the steel among #industrial and #warehousing clients, every architect is inevitably going to work with building partners using it. And when they do, #architects quickly realize how much power it affords them in expressing their #commercial design imagination. Gain the freedom to #design when working with an ideal #engineering and #construction partner.

🏠 Looking for architectural services? At Rowett Architecture, we understand that every project is unique. That’s why we don’t have standard fees. Instead, we tailor our services and costs to match your specific scheme and your requirements. Here’s how you can get a quote from us: 1. Initial Consultation: Book an initial 30-minute consultation call, completely free of charge. During this call, we’ll discuss your project details and requirements. 2. Initial Meeting: We’ll visit your property or business for an initial meeting, during which we will discuss your project details in more detail. 3. Bespoke Fee Proposal: Based on our discussion, we’ll create a bespoke fee and service proposal. This proposal will clearly outline what we’ll be doing for you, the associated fees, and approximate timescales. For residential projects, we use a hybrid of hourly rates and fixed fees rather than a percentage of the construction value. This ensures cost certainty from the start of your project. 4. Quality and Security: Hiring a registered Architect (ARB and RIBA) may cost more, but it can make a significant difference to your home. Ready to discuss your project? Why not contact us today! 📩

I get excited every time I present a design to a client. Maybe if I wasn’t excited, I shouldn’t be doing what I’m doing. I actually had butterflies all day before presenting this one earlier this week. I love the point where I’ve got enough confidence in a design to start putting detail into the 3D model to create visualisations that really let a client get a feel for their space. Don’t get me wrong, this stage of the process is by no means the finished article, but it always feels like a massive step in the right direction. The next steps are more pragmatic. Confirming what’s proposed still falls within budget. This is done by working with a Quantity Surveyor to develop a budget cost. And then onto the planning application and building warrant stages to get the approvals needed before construction. Hopefully we’re still within budget and we can see this design come to life, giving the client the much needed additional, modern living space they’re after. Richard Slater Architecture & Design
