We bridge the gap between creative vision and technical reality. As a Liverpool-based multi-disciplinary practice with 30+ years of experience, our team of Chartered Architects and Surveyors ensures your project is innovative, buildable, and expertly managed from concept to completion.
Forty Years of Merseyside Heritage
We are HBMA Architects, a multi-disciplinary practice born from a legacy of professional property consultancy on Merseyside spanning over four decades. Formerly known as Dears Brack, our firm has evolved into a modern, integrated team of Chartered Architects and Chartered Building Surveyors working side-by-side.
By housing both design and surveying expertise under one roof, we offer a holistic approach that many firms can't match. We don't just design buildings that look good on paper; we ensure they are technically sound, cost-effective, and entirely buildable.
Where Creative Design Meets Technical Precision
Why choose us? Because we understand that a successful project requires more than just a planning approval. It requires a deep understanding of building fabric, legislative requirements, and construction feasibility.
Our integrated model means our architects collaborate daily with our surveyors. This synergy allows us to identify potential site risks or structural constraints early in the design phase, saving our clients significant time and unforeseen costs during the construction phase.
