Before you book
Which areas does Planning Workshop serve?
Planning Workshop serves Galway and the surrounding area from its studio in Upper Newcastle. It also has an office in Westport and works for clients in Dublin. If your project is elsewhere, you can ask whether the studio takes it on and how site visits would be arranged.
How are fees charged and what affects them?
Architects in Ireland usually charge either for the whole job or stage by stage, and the fee mainly reflects the size and complexity of the project and how much planning and drawing work is involved. The Architect price guide gives typical prices in Ireland. You can ask for a fee proposal that sets out each stage.
Is Planning Workshop regulated?
For retrofit work, the rule that applies is to confirm SEAI grant eligibility and to use a registered One Stop Shop if the scheme involves one. You can ask the studio which of these apply to your project. It is also sensible to ask about its professional qualifications and indemnity cover.
What happens at the first consultation?
The first consultation usually covers what you want to build or change, the site, your budget range and the timing you are working to. It is usual for architects in Ireland to explain how they work and what each stage includes. You can ask what the first meeting covers and whether it is charged.
What do clients say about Planning Workshop?
Planning Workshop has a Google rating of 5 from 1 review, and the reviews can be read on its Google Maps page at https://maps.google.com/?cid=13240952909687532387. You can read them for the type of project involved, and also ask the studio for references from recent clients to hear about the process.
What should I prepare or bring?
Bring a clear brief of what you want, along with any survey drawings, photos of the site or building, planning history and your timescale. Architects in Ireland usually ask for these to scope the work. Having them ready can help you get a clearer fee proposal.
How do I contact Planning Workshop for a quote?
You can contact Planning Workshop by phone, through its website or through its Locufy page. When you get in touch, say what the project is and where the building is, send photos if you have them, and mention when you would like work to start.
