Why Choose RISE? 

Our passion for residential architecture comes from a recognition that homes are as much stories as they are structures. It‘s not only the structural practicalities that are important in a home, but the small details that have the potential to transform the lives of you and your family, and bring joy every day for years to come.

While some architects are happy to simply design houses, we want to help create homes. Telling little stories with each element of the build, adding more quality and value to your experiences, to truly achieve an elevated space that exceeds your expectations of what you thought was possible with your property.

Cost Of Service

So, what will it cost you to build, renovate, extend, or refurbish your home? 

This largely depends on the scope of your project, the complexity of the design, and of course the size of your build. Whilst it can be sometimes difficult to gauge the cost without further information, there are several definite factors that we can highlight that will affect your final quotation. 

These include:

Essentials

The Essentials

These are cost factors that impact on every build, such as the labour cost, materials required and construction methods used.

The Essentials

Regulatory Landscape

Local authorities with less resources, and listed buildings, may require more time for planning approval, which can add to your cost.

Services Required

Services Required 

A full architectural service that includes design, development, construction documents, and project management will cost more than if you only require planning support and technical drawings.

Size And Complexity Of Your Project

Size And Complexity Of Your Project

Larger homes generally require more design work, and more complex designs with custom features or unique requirements may cost more due to the additional time and expertise required.

Location

Location

Cost of living and prevailing prices in some areas of London can affect the prices of architectural services and project delivery times.

Added Value

Revamping your current property or constructing a new home should not merely be viewed as a financial investment. It is an endeavour that will yield excitement, satisfaction and extra value for both you and your family. 

In terms of market value, a bespoke, custom-designed home may sell more quickly and derive a higher value per square metre when you come to sell. In contrast, in qualitative terms, an individually created home will give you greater pleasure, usability, and flexibility to match your space to the unique needs of your lifestyle.

Do you offer an interior design service?
