Architéa Franchise

Architéa positions itself as a general contractor network, acting as the single point of contact between clients and the many trades involved in a renovation, extension or fit-out project. Rather than clients having to coordinate plasterers, electricians, joiners and architects themselves, the Architéa franchisee manages the whole process, offering a comprehensive service backed by a ten-year warranty covering all building work. This model appeals strongly to homeowners who want peace of mind and a single invoice, and to property professionals who need a reliable partner for larger-scale works.

The brand was created in 2015 and has since grown into a network of 23 locations, all within a fast-moving renovation market. In 2024, the group behind Architéa welcomed the Mobilitas Group as a shareholder — an international group with extensive experience developing franchise networks — giving Architéa additional resources and expertise to accelerate its growth.

• Represent a premium, well-positioned brand in a fast-growing sector
• Benefit from personalised, structured support and formalised know-how
• Draw on the backing of an international group with proven franchise experience
• Access a franchisor with deep expertise in residential and commercial renovation
• Join a network built and shaped by fellow building professionals
• Fast-track profitability through an established operating model

Architéa also gives franchisees the option to diversify into the pharmacy fit-out market through its sister brand, ArchiPharma, opening up a further high-potential revenue stream for ambitious operators.

Architéa is looking for candidates from a construction or project management background — project managers, works supervisors, engineers or building contractors who want to offer clients a complete, end-to-end renovation package rather than a single trade service. Equally, entrepreneurs with strong commercial instincts and a drive to build and optimise a profitable business are encouraged to apply, provided they are willing to immerse themselves in the technical side of the trade. Above all, the network values franchisees who are passionate about construction and keen to contribute their own expertise to help shape the brand's future.

To join the Architéa network, candidates should have personal capital of around £10,000, which supports the total investment required to launch the business. The total investment to set up an Architéa franchise, including initial franchise fees of around £12,000, is approximately £35,000. In return, franchisees benefit from ongoing support across four dedicated areas: business development, communications and marketing, technical design, and architecture. Average annual turnover across the network stands at around £400,000, reflecting the strong demand for turnkey renovation services and the scale of typical projects undertaken.
