Architectural News and Industry Insights

Welcome to the Wilby & Burnett blog, where we share the latest architectural news and industry insights from the world of architecture and surveying. Here you'll find expert commentary on industry developments, guidance on building regulations and materials, project highlights, and practical advice from our team of Chartered Architects and Surveyors. Whether you're a property professional, client, or simply interested in the built environment, our articles are designed to inform, inspire, and keep you up to date.

Through our blog, we’ll be covering a wide range of topics that reflect both our day-to-day practice and the broader challenges facing the built environment. Expect regular updates on our latest projects, from initial design concepts through to completion, as well as insight into the processes behind planning, listed building consent, and sustainable design. We’ll also be sharing guidance on key materials and methods, such as how we’re responding to the increasing focus on RAAC (Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) in older buildings, and what clients need to consider when planning refurbishments, extensions, or new developments.

In addition to project-based content, we’ll explore important issues shaping the architecture and surveying sectors—from changing building regulations and climate-conscious design principles to community engagement, conservation, and the role of digital technologies in construction. As a multi-disciplinary practice, our in-house team of Chartered Architects and Surveyors will also offer professional commentary on risk management, contract administration, project monitoring, and the steps needed to achieve compliance and long-term value in your building projects.

We aim for this blog to become a valuable resource for clients, industry professionals, and anyone with an interest in how good design and technical expertise can shape stronger, safer, and more sustainable places. Whether we’re explaining the impact of new legislation or reflecting on a recently completed scheme, every article will draw on our practical experience and deep-rooted understanding of the built environment. Be sure to check back regularly for new insights—and if there’s a topic you’d like us to explore, we’d love to hear from you.
