How Architect in the House works

Register your contact details and the location of your project when you sign up. The project can be based in England, Wales or Scotland but not Northern Ireland.
You can register for consultations up to 6pm on 3 July. Contact details of your architect (subject to availability) will be emailed to you in mid July.
Please contact the architect as soon as possible to arrange a consultation. This can take place at any mutually convenient time until 30 November 2009.
At the end of the consultation you will need to make a suggested minimum donation of £40 to Shelter. Alternatively you can donate in advance online.
Please note that if the scheme is oversubscribed, a match with an architect cannot be guaranteed.

What you can expect from an Architect in the House consultation

Make sense of your space, and let an architect bring your design ideas to life.

The architect will listen to your ideas, helping to pin down what you want to achieve.
Whether you are moving or staying put, an architect will help you make the best use of your space. Great design is a long-term investment you can trust.
RIBA chartered architects are not just great designers, they can also advise on planning, and manage the builders. They can specify a range of fittings and lighting and can suggest energy-saving, environmentally friendly options.
After the consultation, you and your Architect in the House architect can decide if you would like to continue to work on your project on a commission basis.
