How to cHoose Residential aRcHitect


Step’s to Choose Residential Architect 1] Decide if you really need to hire a home architect.  Minor home remodels rarely require the services of a licensed architect and simply need a general contractor to incorporate the desired changes into your home.

2]Ask friends, family and colleagues for referrals. If you know someone whose home has recently undergone major construction work, such as adding a second floor, an architect was probably utilized.

3] Set up an interview with at least 3 architects. Â Since many charge for a consultation, ask about their prices for your first meeting.

4]Review the architect's building portfolio, which should have a wide variety of projects to express the person's abilities. Â Look for design elements that you want in your own project, such as window placement and room layouts.

5 ]Describe how much money you have for the project. Â Always have extra funding set aside for construction project overruns. Generally, 25 percent more money is enough to cover extra expenses.

6]Know how much involvement the architect will have in your project. If you require the assistance of someone who can navigate the process of applying for construction permits with your town, make sure the architect is aware of your needs. Some architects include project management in their fee structure, others consider it an extra service and charge accordingly.

7]Verify that you will work directly with the architect you are interviewing. Larger firms sometimes send lead architects to initial meetings but later assign a junior architect to work with clients.

8]Get an estimate. Know how much money the architect expects to spend on your project. Ask about extra fees for project changes and redesigns.Understand the architect's billing process to ensure you can afford their services.
