Duncan Clark & Beckett Architects

The office has re-opened, and we are once again making initial visits to site to discuss new projects, and carry out surveys. Our staff will wear masks when we are on site or making any site visit, and will be following current guidance on distancing. Please do get in touch if you have a project you'd like to talk through, and we can arrange a visit if required: we look forward to hearing from you. Duncan Clark & Beckett Ltd (DC&B) are a RIBA Chartered Architecture Practice located in central Colchester.

Duncan Clark & Becket are registered as a Chartered Practice with two professional bodies: the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the Chartered Institute of Architectural Technologists (CIAT). As a Chartered Practice we are governed by Codes of Professional Conduct. Find us on the ARB site. We comply with strict criteria covering insurance, health and safety and quality management systems, and we are required to carry out continuing training and education (CPD). We are a small, friendly design office, with architectural qualifications in architecture and architectural technology.

We work extensively on smaller residential projects, with self-builders or on extensions of varied size and complexity. We love to work with people who are building for themselves - whether planning a Grand Design or a tiny retreat. We offer a fixed fee inclusive service comprising an initial site visit, preparation of design brief, design and detail drawings that will take a project through Planning and Building Regulations Permissions (if necessary). This will give the client a bespoke set of drawings and calculations that are detailed enough to use for accurate pricing and for construction.
