Architects vs Architectural Designers

One of our most frequently asked questions here at Detailed Planning is ‘what’s the difference between architecture and architectural designers?’ It’s important not to confuse the term architects and architectural designers as we are both architects and architectural designers; let us explain the difference between architects and architectural designers.

The services provided by an Architect/ Architectural Designer are broadly very similar. An architect usually spends more time studying the design process of building projects, while the architectural designer will have spent more time studying the actual construction process. Our team here at Detailed Planning are residential architect experts so you can rest assured that you are in safe hands.

It is worth noting that many architects are highly technical in their approach, and many designers/ technologists are very creative, we have the perfect blend to cover both aspects and any individual should be considered on their merits.

An architect is also likely to have more expensive fees, mainly if they provide complete project management services; working directly with an architectural designer may save some money, which can be reinvested into your project.

The essential documents required to ensure a quality service, whether through an Architect or Architectural Designer, is evidence of the relevant qualifications and valid Professional Indemnity Insurance of a suitable value for the project.
