Simon launches Open Door event

Howard Lake | 24 March 2011 | News

The Simon Communities of Ireland has launched this year’s Simon Open Door event which offers consultancy from a professional architect in return for a donation to Simon. This is the seventh year that Simon has partnered with the Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI). Over the course of the partnership almost €250,000 has been raised for the charity’s work with people who are homeless.
Simon Open Door is largely organised over a special website which handles the bookings and takes the €50 donation for each hour’s consultancy. The consultation is with a certified RIAI Architect who can give advice on a range of issues relating to homes.
Despite a serious downturn in construction and related services, architects throughout Ireland will participate in the event. The website allows people to select an architect and a time on the 7th and 8th of May. People can register on the site from now. The website also contains advice on what information to bring to the architect in the ‘What to remember’ section.
In previous years the Open Door event charged €75 for an hour’s consultancy but this has been reduced to €50.
