What Is Architect Negligence?

Architect negligence happens when an architect doesn’t meet the standards expected of their profession, causing you financial loss or harm. Common issues include failing to obtain planning permission, providing faulty designs, or missing deadlines – all of which may give you grounds to make a formal complaint or pursue a negligence claim against your architect.

Types of Architect Negligence

Architect negligence can occur in various areas of building and construction. Here are some common issues where our specialist solicitors can step in to help you recover your losses:

Design Negligence

Errors in architectural design can lead to structural issues, safety hazards, or increased costs for corrections. If your commercial property suffers due to poor design, you may have a claim against your architect.

Building Regulation Breaches

Failure to comply with building regulations can result in legal consequences and costly changes. If your architect’s negligence has caused these issues, you may be entitled to compensation.

Project Management Failures

If an architect fails to manage a project properly, such as missing deadlines or miscommunicating with contractors, this can lead to delays and additional expenses. We can help you address these problems.

Construction Oversight Negligence

An architect is responsible for ensuring that construction is carried out as per the approved plans. If they neglect this duty and it leads to subpar work, you may have grounds for a claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your questions, answered.

Yes, if your architect has failed to meet the expected professional standards and caused you financial loss, you may be able to bring a professional negligence claim against them. This can include poor design work, delays, or breaches of building regulations. Our solicitors can review your case and advise on your legal options.

Yes. In most cases, you have six years from the date the negligence occurred to start a claim. However, there are exceptions—especially if the negligence only came to light later. It’s best to seek legal advice as soon as possible to avoid missing deadlines.

Key evidence may include your contract with the architect, copies of correspondence, drawings or plans, expert reports, and proof of financial loss. If you’re unsure where to start, we can help gather the documents needed to build a strong case.

Not always. Many claims are resolved through negotiation or mediation. If your case does go to court, we’ll support and guide you throughout the entire process.

That depends on the financial loss and the impact the negligence has had on you. Once we’ve reviewed your case, we’ll provide a clearer picture of what your claim might be worth.

It’s simple – you only pay if your claim is successful. There are no upfront costs, making it easier for you to pursue justice without financial risk.
