My architect is Adobe in Girne.



He and his wife are both architects, both Istanbul trained to an extremely high standard and both speak English fluently.



They are members of the Chamber of Architects and totally professional, they have to submit the plans they have drawn to the Chamber and get their approval before submitting them to the planning authorities.



I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Better than some chancer who managed to get his hands on a CADS system but whose 'real' job is a waiter!



So worth the extra money involved. You only get one chance to do it properly

msg 10..Bringing some rolls of D.P.C. is easy,but how are you going to import some "Know-How"..Perhaps a group of First year Apprentices would give you the "Edge"...

You need to have a UK QUALIFIED ARCHITECT to oversee the work. We were away during the building

of our property and relied on an architect recommended by a builder to do the redraw of the plans at a cost

of £4000. Its making sure that the work is completed as per the plans and specifications that is important. I can give you a name if you need one.

I doubt a properly Qualified UK trained Architect worth his salt would be interested in the construction of Concrete Tents Architects tend to look for favourably recognition,not shoot themselves in the foot..............
