What to check when hiring architects in Ireland

MyTrustedTraders ranks on independent public evidence. No ads, no paid placement. Use these checks alongside the evidence on each profile before you decide who to contact.

  • In Ireland, gas work must by law be done by a Registered Gas Installer (RGI) and electrical work by a contractor registered with Safe Electric. Verify the registration on the public register before any gas or electrical job, as using an unregistered installer is illegal and dangerous.
  • Agree an itemised written quote with staged payments tied to completed work rather than a large cash deposit up front, and confirm the tradesperson's public-liability insurance before they start.
  • Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
  • Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work, and that they are current.
  • Get a written, itemised quote with scope, assumptions and a staged payment schedule.

How to judge an architect

Independent, no-ads guidance. The trade-specific checks that matter most, the warning signs, and what to ask before you hire. Use it alongside each tradesperson’s public evidence above.

Verify before you hire

  • The title 'architect' is legally protected in Ireland under the Building Control Act 2007: your architect must be on the statutory register held by the RIAI (Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland, riai.ie); verify their registration.
  • On a build under the Building Control (Amendment) Regulations they may act as Assigned Certifier: confirm their role, professional indemnity insurance, and fee basis up front.
  • Agree the scope (design only, planning, tender, or full construction-stage supervision), fee structure and what RIBA/RIAI work stage each payment covers.
  • Ask to see comparable completed projects and references from recent clients.

Warning signs of a cowboy

  • Uses the title 'architect' but isn't on the RIAI statutory register.
  • No professional indemnity insurance, or vague about their certification role.
  • An open-ended fee with no defined scope or stages.
  • No portfolio of comparable completed work.

Questions to ask before you hire

  • What is your RIAI registration, and can I verify it on the statutory register?
  • Will you act as Assigned Certifier, and do you hold professional indemnity insurance?
  • What exactly does your fee cover, and at what stages is it paid?
  • Can I see comparable projects and speak to recent clients?

Frequently asked questions

How do I choose a trustworthy architect?
Compare the public evidence on each profile: how many independent reviews they have and across how many named sources, the rating and how recent it is, any credential evidence, and the company status. An architect backed by several named sources is harder to fake than one found in only one place.
Does MyTrustedTraders rank or recommend architects for payment?
No. There are no ads and no paid placement. Architects are ranked only by the strength of independent public evidence. No one can pay to rank higher, add a badge, or change their reviews.
Where do the reviews come from?
They're imported from named public review sources and always shown with the source named. They aren't reviews written on MyTrustedTraders. We cross-check the same business across sources rather than creating new reviews.
What should I check before hiring an architect?
Confirm credentials and insurance directly with the architect, get a written quote, and run the Cowboy Checker on the business first. MyTrustedTraders helps you shortlist on the evidence. It doesn't replace your own checks before you hire.
