With any building project, from residential to commercial, we as architects provide associated services that will dovetail and promote the smooth running of each individual project.

Sometimes as a result of our help, a project can be improved, take another path or even be identified as something that isn’t viable after all. This expertise has helped many customers in the Chester area. Chester is known for its stunning architecture and enviable vernacular.
New builds, demolish and rebuilds, open plan kitchen & dining extensions, loft conversions and more are all part of our portfolio.

Each and every project is individual and as such we can offer bespoke products and services to our clients
However, there are some universal services which can be pertinent to most developments.
These include:
Consultation and a resulting brief, during which our initial meeting includes an in-depth discussion about the project.
With our transparent and honest approach, we can help clients understand potential costs.
The next stage
usually means we are ready to proceed on this exciting journey, starting with a survey and a Planning Application if needed.
The later stages
include Technical Designs, choosing a Contractor, creating a suitable Contact and then beginning the project itself.
Other key areas Hough Architecture can fully assist with include Feasibility Studies and Visual Impressions.
Visual Impressions are an effective way of envisioning a client’s proposals using state-of-the-art techniques including 3D models, 2D drawings, physical models, photo montages and more.
Hough Architecture encompasses a holistic approach, taking into account the personality of the client, the social context, the heritage and history of the building or the area in which the building will be constructed. We also look at the future of the building’s life cycle; from the day it is occupied and for the many generations to come.
One of the main questions we are asked is:
- how much does a home extension or new build cost ?
- how much does it cost to hire an architect ?
