Architecture & Interior Design Salary Survey and Employment Review

Read the Architecture & Interior Design Salary Survey Report

Architecture and interior design have been significantly impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some practices are still having to work in survival mode, whilst others are busy, in-demand, hiring new staff and prospering.

The COVID-19 pandemic has quickly made employees face adaption to new ways of working, including remote working, social distancing, reduced pay, loss of benefits such as staff events as well as being given more time to think and re-evaluate what is important to them in their careers.

As a business supporting the Architecture and Interior Design sectors, we design our survey each year based on the conversations we are having with practice leaders, hiring managers, as well as those who are seeking new opportunities in the market.

My team and I have created this unique survey to establish how the events of 2021 have impacted the UK’s Architecture and Interior Design recruitment market. This report aims to highlight and establish trends in remuneration, benefits, overtime, working styles, job seeking and retention.
