About this sector

The title architect is legally protected: only ARB-registered individuals may use it. Architectural designers and technologists do valuable work, but the distinction matters and is easy to check.

Approval records vary sharply by authority. Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds and Bradford apply conservation policy differently, and a practice that works with your authority regularly is a real advantage.

Questions about architects and designers

What do architects charge in West Yorkshire?

A full architectural service from concept through to construction typically costs 8% to 12% of build cost in West Yorkshire, with smaller projects at the upper end of that range because the fixed effort does not scale down. Planning-only packages for a domestic extension usually start around £2,000 to £4,000. Heritage and listed building work costs more because it requires additional survey, justification and consultation.
