Where the work comes from

How referrals flow for an architect

Your best referrals rarely come from cold advertising. They come from people who already talk to homeowners and developers planning extensions or new builds – often right at a planning application or a growing family. This is why builders, planning consultants and building surveyors make such natural allies for any architect.

How our meetings work

Members meet every Thursday from 6:30am to 8:30am, before most working days begin. Every week you have 60 seconds or more to tell the room about your services – far more than many larger networking groups give you. Outside the meeting, members arrange one-to-one catch-ups to learn who makes a good referral.

Questions

Does the architect have to be based in Billericay?

No. EBF members travel in from all over Essex, so any great architect in the area is welcome.

Do I have to join after my first visit?

Not at all. Visiting costs nothing, with no pressure to sign up. Join us one Thursday, see how the meeting runs and decide for yourself.
