Hi Declan Connolly founder of Affluent Architect.

I specialise in helping small firm or sole practitioner architects make more money in their businesses.

Because once the financial side of things is handled it frees up their time & their minds to do the things they love doing.

Which is being creative and making peoples lives better with the buildings they design.

I’m also the founder of Bespoke Home Design which is my home design business based here in London, UK.

And I’ve learned a thing or two over the last 10 years about getting design clients in the construction industry and I’m going to share them with you.
