Wighton Architects
Architects in Nelson, Lancashire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 April 2015
“After extensive research we appointed Wighton Architects for our renovation and extension of a 4 bed Victorian house. From the very start of the process, Stuart impressed us with his eye for detail and aesthetic consideration. He presented multiple concepts, all of which were well considered and met the needs of our family and 'wish list'. Once we decided on the design, he worked very well with the planning department in Waverley despite being based in Leeds and smoothly gained permission. He played a key role in appointing the building contractor and then as project manager throughout in collaboration with the builder. His approach meant that the timetable was kept on track and any issues with the building firm swiftly and amicably resolved. He brought the project in on budget which was impressive given the scale of work. I have no hesitation in recommending Stuart and Wighton Architects.”
Plans To Build It Ltd
Architects in Nelson, Lancashire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 October 2015
“I was recommended JK Technical Services through a building contractor and could not be happier with the service he gave. From the very beginning he was very helpful and informative, always quick to respond when we had any questions. The work was completed within the timescale given and came in within the inital budget price given which we were very happy with. I would highly recommend Justin and should we need any drawings done in the future we would definitely be using JK Technical. Thanks for all your hard work.”
MDA Design Ltd
Architects in Nelson, Lancashire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 May 2017
“When looking for an architect MDA Architectural Services Ltd came recommended by a friend. From the beginning they were completely professional and all the staff who I had contact with couldn't be more helpful. From the original drawings to the final plans the team were happy to make any changes I requested. When looking for a builder to complete my extension, everyone commented on the quality of the drawings and the detail within. For me that says it all when fellow professionals comment on the quality of work. I'd happily use and recommend MDA Architectural Services Ltd to anyone.”
Architecture Unknown Ltd

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 October 2020
“It has been great working with Architecture Unknown, the final outcome is a fantastic-looking building that will serve as a brillant Scouts HQ and community resource. AU’s Wikihouse design enabled us to keep costs down by using volunteers for some of the assembly work as well as allowing community involvement in the construction.”

JPL Design and Construct Ltd.
Architects in Nelson, Lancashire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 November 2015
“We wanted a split level extension to our house, to be built on sloping ground. we had drawn a rough idea on the back of an envelope and John turned that into a fully formed official plan. We would fully recommend John to anyone. He was extremely helpful and explained things very clearly so that we understood the process. He turned up when he said he would, and submitted all documents on time. When we asked for a change to a plan he complied fully. We found ourselves a builder who followed his plans to the letter. Our work is now completed and we are absolutely delighted with it.”
CAS Architecture

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 October 2021
“Arranged for CAS to produce plans & submit planning application for an extension to our house prior to marketing the property for sale. We received timely and appropriate advice on the planning process and the layout & plans of prosposed extension. Very pleased with the design and the step by step pricing and invoicing for the work. Realistic guidelines given about the expectations of local planners. Kept up to date with other professionals involved in the planning application and how the application was progressing. Would recommend to other home owners requiring a similar service”
Orange Design Studio
Architects in Nelson, Lancashire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 March 2017
“From the way Orange Design first worked with us, understanding our needs, revising the drawings, making practical suggestions, obtaining all the necessary planning and building control permissions – through to the way they managed the tendering process on our behalf, approaching builders and then making frequent site visits during the build phase, it was all reassuring to know that we had a professional we could rely on and call on as the various needs arose.”
Shiels Design Ltd
Architects in Nelson, Lancashire
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 January 2022
“Steve and Dom Shiels proved to be an excellent choice. We found them on the internet. Our first meeting showed that they listened to what we wanted then added all sorts of interesting ideas and details for us to think about. They then designed a ground floor extension that had a footprint half the size of our original house. We disscused various options and then settled on a design. They dealt with planning permission with no problems. We were very fortunate that that they tendered to build it too. This was a complete joy. They were at our house everyday for several months and we never felt irritated. The precision and care they took at each stage was incredible. They always left the site clean and tidy. The final building is beautiful, with lots of details that make us think wow. We have lived in this hous for 38 years and have always loved it. We love it even more now. Thank you Steve and Dom.”

Architect or Architectural Designer FAQs
An architect is a professional who designs and creates building plans, ensuring the building is functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. They collaborate with clients to understand their needs and create designs that meet their requirements. Architects also consider building codes, regulations, and sustainability principles in their designs. They may oversee the construction process to ensure it aligns with the design intent.
If you are looking at a house extension or building a new home from scratch, chances are you are going to need the help of a residential architect. They have extensive knowledge of architectural design, construction methods and building materials, not to mention a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light and flow within a property. Architects will also be far more capable of seeing the bigger picture – carefully balancing aesthetic appeal with structural safety. With their local knowledge, your Nelson architect will also often help to obtain planning permission and building regulations approval.

    After choosing a residential architect, you will usually start with a consultation to discuss the project. Preferably at your property or building site where the work will be done. Give as clear a picture as possible of the kind of home you are trying to create to your architects. Chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and feedback, together with any very specific requirements you might have. They will explain their process to you alongside any other on-site visits up to and including the build stage, depending on whether they will be involved at that stage. From there they will produce the designs and plans required for your project.
    The cost of hiring an architect in Nelson can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project, experience, reputation, and location. Architectural fees are typically structured as a percentage of the project’s total construction cost, ranging from 8% to 15%. For example, if a project has a construction cost of £500,000 and the architect’s fee is 10%, the fee would be £50,000. It’s advisable to discuss fees and payment structures with architects in Nelson during initial consultations.
