Where the work comes from

Why introductions flow for an architect

The warmest leads don’t often come from cold advertising. Instead, they come from businesses who already work with homeowners and developers planning extensions or new builds. This is why builders, planning consultants and building surveyors make such strong allies for any architect, in Chelmsford or anywhere in Essex.

Inside a Thursday meeting

Members meet every Thursday from 6:30am to 8:30am, so it’s done before the working day starts. Each week you have 60 seconds or more to tell the room about your business. Between meetings, members arrange one-to-one catch-ups to understand what each other is looking for, and we have a genuine social side too – summer BBQs, Halloween events and charity challenges.

Questions

Can I recommend someone outside Chelmsford?

Not at all. EBF members travel in from all over Essex, so a trusted architect nearby is worth recommending.

Is there any obligation to join?

Not at all. Visiting costs nothing, and you’re under no obligation to join. Join us one Thursday, see how the meeting runs and decide for yourself.
