If you are seeking architectural services for houses in multiple occupation (HMOs), an HMO Architect will be able to identify and address challenges faster than an architect with a more general portfolio.
Summary
When we get ill, most of us visit our family doctor, as he or she will have a pretty good understanding of what’s wrong with us. Chances are, however, that we take our children to a paediatrician, or older family members to a geriatrician, instead. Although a family doctor would in both cases be able to give medical advice, a paediatrician or geriatrician, specialised in the medical care of children or elderly, respectively, deals with patients in these age categories on a daily basis. These specialists, therefore, are more likely to have come across similar conditions more recently, and hence to identify the best treatment faster.
In the same way, if you are seeking architectural services for houses in multiple occupation (HMOs), an HMO architect will be able to identify and address challenges faster than an architect with a more general portfolio. HMO conversions go hand in hand with a range of specific challenges, including complying with local regulations, balancing maximal comfort for tenants with the optimal amount of units, simplifying maintenance processes and achieving the best possible return on investment for the landlord. These challenges do not usually present themselves for every architectural project, and it thus might well be worth to work with a specialist to address them faster and more efficiently.
