About Us

WORKING WITH BLAIR GRATTON ARCHITECTS LIMITED

We are a Chartered Practice Architect Practice based in Derby. We abide by the Codes of Professional Conduct set by both the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).

We have established relationships with other agencies, professionals and local authorities which we can draw upon, as required, to assist in the successful realisation of your project.

We offer the full package to make your concept a reality; not just the services of an architectural designer or technician (or ‘plan drawer’), as Architects we provide a professional, regulated design consultancy service. We work with our clients to take their projects to tender and adminster Building Contracts and work on-site managing payment and programmes.
