What this trade covers
This professional does not carry out the works: they design, inspect or advise. Their role is to help you decide before you sign with a contractor.
What to check on the quote
Two quotes only compare when they cover the same thing. These points often separate a complete offer from one that ends in extras.
The assignment in writing
The engagement letter or quote lists what is included: visits, plans, reports, site supervision.
How fees are calculated
Fixed fee, hourly rate or percentage of the works: the method is in writing.
Delivery dates
When do you receive the report or the plans? An agreed date keeps the job from stalling.
The company number
The quote shows the company's CBE number. Check it on the public search of the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises before you sign.
VAT, deposit and validity
The quote states the VAT rate applied, any deposit and how long the price is guaranteed.
VAT
The 6% rate covers works invoiced by a contractor in a private home more than ten years old. For fees, ask which rate will be applied.
Architect: choose your city
Each city page shows the registered pros whose address is in the area, and the regional renovation support.

Frequently asked questions
Architect: what budget should you plan in 2026?
The price depends on the job, the materials and the access. Describe your project and compare several written quotes: it is free for homeowners.
When should you bring in this professional?
Before you sign with a contractor, when a technical decision or a permit is at stake. Their advice costs less than a mistake on site.
Which VAT rate applies?
The 6% rate covers works invoiced by a contractor in a private home more than ten years old. For fees, ask which rate will be applied.
How do you check a contractor before signing?
Check their company number at the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises, ask for a detailed written quote with VAT, and read the reviews. On Batizzy, the "CBE verified" badge marks pros who had their number checked, and a review is only possible after a real job.
How do you get quotes you can compare?
Describe your project once on Batizzy, with a few photos. Pros see the jobs in their area first and send you their quote, which you compare side by side. It is free for homeowners, and Batizzy takes no commission on the works.
A project coming up?
Describe it once, it is free. Pros from your area answer with a quote in the same format, and you decide what happens next.
