My question is how much does an architect cost?
Is it wiser to ask my landlord for recommendation?

Architects need to plan for the recession
Filed Under Small Business | Comments Off
Steve Thatcher asked:
Architects are one of those professions which many of us will never need. Unlike a solicitor, to whom we will turn when we want to buy a house, the architect only comes to mind if we then decide to make major alterations to that house. It is easy to forget as we all struggle to get through the recession, that almost every sector of the economy is affected.
Problems with the housing market have been well documented and the effect on builders, plumbers, electricians and estate agents are known to all. Architects to have been affected. For those settled in their property, growing families often mean structural changes are required to the family home, to accommodate a larger brood. In order to affect these changes, the assistance of an architect is required to put plans together and to get any necessary approvals from the planning authorities.
The knock on effect is that Architects whether they work in practices with others or on their own, will be struggling to earn fees. If they cannot earn fees then financial distress may follow. If the architect is an individual, then debt solutions may come in the form of debt management, or an Individual voluntary arrangement or ultimately bankruptcy. If a number of architects work together, they may do so as a partnership. The partnership can be saved by a partnership voluntary arrangement or an administration.
If you are an architect reading this and you can recognise the scenario, please take professional advice sooner rather than later.
