_frequently asked questions
Can I ask the architect to supervise the work of the builder and other contractors?
It is important to clarify the difference
between supervision and contract administration. Your architect will check
that the builder is completing the project
according to the contract. The builder will
supervise the on-going works. Your architect will periodically inspect the works, check the quality and deal with the builder regarding any defects and their rectification.

At josh valentine architects, every project begins with listening. Understanding the aspirations of our clients, the qualities of a site and the broader context allow each design to evolve from a clear and considered response rather than a predetermined style.
The practice is guided by a belief that good architecture should balance creativity with practicality, combining strong design thinking with technical rigour and a thorough understanding of construction.
Every project is approached with equal care, attention to detail and commitment to quality. The result is architecture that is refined, functional and enduring. Spaces feel connected to their surroundings and continue to enrich the lives of those who use them.
