Hi All,
Firstly let me introduce myself. I am an architect and have been running my own traditional practice for some time now, specialising in energy efficient contemporary residential architecture.
I am currently working on creating a new type of service for self-build clients that would not usually employ an architect, for financial or other reasons, but non-the-less have an interest in creating a unique and custom designed home.
Right now I am doing some research to find ways to add more value to the service and I would love to hear from people who have worked with an architect in the past or self-built without one. I promise I wont try and sell you anything (!), I just really want to find out what you think!
