Schafer Associates is a small, family-based architects' practice, based in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Lancashire, mid-way between Liverpool and Manchester. We work throughout the north-west and North Wales, although projects have been undertaken in London and France. Formed in 1989 by Bill Schafer, DipArch, RIBA, we have developed a strong client base over a wide project range and work within a Christian ethos. We have wide experience of work within conservation areas and with listed buildings, and can advise on various forms of building procurement, involving new-build, conversion, refurbishment and repair.
