ARCHITECTS & DESIGNERS

The Building & Design Resource Guide is the go-to destination for anyone who is passionate about design and architecture, in their home or business. It is best to hire an architect or designer who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction.

The architect is often the first person you will hire for your project. If necessary, they might also help you select and hire subcontractors, which can include the builders, engineers and landscaper. Different architecture firms provide different services, so the scope of the work can span from pre-design environmental impact studies to selecting furniture and finishes, depending on what your specific needs are. It is very important to hire the right professional for the job. 

Questions to ask prospective interior architects:

• What is your fee structure? 
• What does the cost include? 
• Do you have professional liability insurance? 
• Can you handle my special requests (ADA, LEED etc.)? 
• What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce? 
• What is your experience with similar projects? 
• When do you expect to start and be finished with the project? 
• What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.) 
• What happens when the cost exceeds the budget? 
• Can you provide me with references? 
• Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with your vision.) 
• Will you help with hiring a general contractor and subcontractors? 
• What do you estimate the cost will be? 
• What will I need to provide? 
• Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
