Architectural advice — Architect — Professionals

Advisory leads suit a narrowly scoped professional consultation with clear limitations. Providers should identify the client's decision, state the information relied upon and recommend further investigation when a confident answer requires more than the supplied material.

Service scope

A defined advisory consultation about a building idea, existing layout or project approach, producing the verbal or written outputs agreed in advance. Advice at this stage helps frame decisions but is not automatically a developed design, survey or application package.

What is normally included

  • Review of a stated project question
  • Discussion of options and constraints
  • Agreed next-step recommendations

What is not included

  • Full design services implied by a consultation
  • Guaranteed planning or budget conclusions without investigation

Qualification checks

  • Define the questions
  • Establish information reliability
  • Agree visit or remote review
  • Identify specialist limits
  • Specify the advice record

Quote guidance

Price the consultation, preparation and agreed report, making follow-up design separate. Explain whether further questions or a site visit are included and avoid selling an undefined promise of complete project certainty.

Lead risks

  • A consultation may expand into uncommissioned design
  • Clients may rely on provisional views as formal approval
