Green construction & quality materials
UB Architects are committed to sustainable design and take care to ensure that the building is designed and specified to minimise energy requirements. We will advise our Clients on the most appropriate technology for their individual needs, as not all technology is suitable for every building user.
Where appropriate we will advise on procedures to achieve the various levels required on the ‘Code for Sustainable Homes’ and through the BREEAM assessment for commercial buildings.
Why Use An Architect?
An Architect will understand your hopes and anxieties, and will help you translate your vision into reality.
*Imagination
Whether you are looking for tradition or innovation, boldness or understatement, an Architect can lift your project out of the ordinary. Anyone can alter a building. It takes an expert to do it with flair, imagination and style.
*Value For Money
An Architect can find the extra light and space you didn’t know you had, suggest materials you hadn’t thought of and help you find the right builder at the right price.
*Freedom From Worry
All Architects in the UK must comply with the Architect’s Act and register with the Architects Registration Board. All registered Architects hold professional indemnity cover appropriate to the scale and type of work they undertake. Registration depends on achieving recognised education qualifications and work experience – no-one else is entitled to use the name Architect in relation to their business or professional work. Architects are construction professionals with knowledge of the industry, its working methods and standards. An Architect can guide you through the complex web of legislation, regulations and contractual obligations. Your Architect can also monitor the construction work through to completion and administer your contract with the builders.
Architects are trained problem solvers. They can show you how to enlarge your home so you won’t have to move. Whatever your budget, Architects can propose ways to get more for your investment than you imagined possible.
