VB Architecture Ltd review

Ranked 1 of 7 in Architectural technologists in Telford

Best overall architectural technologist in Telford: extensions and new homes from sketch to building regulations

Active

Trading as VB ARCHITECTURE LTD · Telford · Service area: Telford

VB Architecture Ltd in short

VB Architecture Ltd is a Priorslee residential practice run by Victoria Biggin, whose ARB registration number is printed beside her architect title on the practice site. The service runs from brief and concept design through planning applications to building-regulations drawings, with drawn and visual presentations, and the first consultation is free. In our judgement that end-to-end residential focus is what sets VB Architecture apart: one registered architect owning an extension or new build from first sketch to approved drawings.

Customer reviews are strong and concentrated in one place: the practice holds 5.0 from 32 Google reviews, the only public rating source we found. The Companies House record shows an active company behind the name. Contact is the thin point, with email and enquiry form only and no phone number or opening hours published.

What counts against it is paperwork rather than craft, with no fee figures beyond the free first meeting and no insurance details published. Our verdict: VB Architecture Ltd suits a Telford homeowner who wants a registered architect for an extension, with the drawings, the permission and the regulations handled in one hand.
