A lot of people think there’s a stark choice between working with a big firm who can do everything you need, and a small one who will look after you better but can only often a limited range of services. The whole idea of Urbanist Architecture is to put our clients in a position where they don’t have to make that trade-off at all.
Yes, when you compare us with other architecture firms, you may think we are more expensive than some of our competitors. But, you are paying for a successful transformational change through creative design and planning strategies tailored to your needs. When you compare us with other architects, you will start to realise that you would have to hire at least five different firms to do what we can do alone.

At this stage, we will administrate the building contract with the most ideal contractor, prevent any possible issues that may arise on-site and complete your project on time and within budget.
You should factor in around 4-6% of your construction cost to cover this stage.

“ My biggest barrier to achieve my goal on my home renovation project was the planning permission. After countless years of frustrated attempts with other London architects and the disappointment of losing the applications every time, my motivation was drained. But I gave my project a final try with Urbanist Architecture and eventually this architecture company succeeded in getting the planning permission for me. Can't thank them enough. ”

Our architectural services is not the cheapest but the extra price is definitely worth the higher quality design solutions you will receive along with the finest planning advice. If you don’t have to experience the frustrations, unnecessary expense and confusion too often associated with construction, then it is to your advantage to spend more on the project, not less.
