Where the work comes from

How referrals flow for an architect

Your best referrals don’t often come from cold advertising. Instead, they come from businesses who regularly talk to homeowners and developers planning extensions or new builds – usually right at a planning application or a growing family. That’s why builders, planning consultants and building surveyors are such natural allies for any architect.

What happens on a Thursday

We meet every Thursday between 6:30am and 8:30am, so it’s done before your working day gets going. Every week you get at least a minute to present your business – roughly double many other networking groups give you. Outside the meeting, you’ll book one-to-one catch-ups to understand what each other is looking for.
