Ask an Architect


In Partnership with RIBA

Ask An Architect

For several years, we have been proud to offer our ‘Ask An Architect’ Sessions, developed in collaboration with The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). These sessions offer individuals the opportunity to have complimentary, personalised consultations with RIBA Chartered architects.

Whether you're contemplating designing and constructing your own home or enhancing the layout of your current home through renovation or reconfiguration, our experienced architects are here to help.

RIBA Chartered architects adhere to a stringent code of conduct and meet rigorous criteria covering insurance, health and safety, and quality management systems. Moreover, your architect will guide you through the regulatory process, securing necessary planning and listed building consents while respecting building control regulations.

A skilled architect not only proposes solutions but also refines your brief into a design that encapsulates your aspirations. Additionally, they prioritise energy efficiency, sustainability and climate resilience, ensuring your home remains environmentally conscious and future proofed.

If any of these scenarios resonate with you, we invite you to take advantage of our complimentary 25 minute 'Ask an Architect' sessions.

By selecting an RIBA-accredited Chartered Member, you gain peace of mind.


Due to their popularity, these sessions must be booked in advance.

Please email reception@nsbrc.co.uk or call on 0345 223 4455 to arrange your booking.
