This is fully my takeaway from my dealings with architects, they listen to what you want, add what they think you want, throw in a pinch of what’s cutting edge and present you with something for at least twice your budget. You then cut back here and there and there and a bit more until you have a design that everyone hates, but you can afford, just. Bitter? Who me?

I watched the grand designs and felt their pain. But. That bloke has been an architect on a programme (George Clark ugly house i think) when the clients said “our budget is £150k” he says “I’ll do you a design” - they say “great” - they get it priced up and it’s more like £300k” they say “FFS why did he design something way over budget?”.
They fall out - he shrugs his shoulders.
Taste of his own medicine I’d say…
Ouch.
