What should you look for in an Architect?

1. Before you hire an architect, look at some of his/her work.
2. Inspect the site of his/her projects personally and take references from at least three former clients.
3. Find out exactly what services the architect or the firm can offer and take it down in writing.
4. Do not judge the architect by the fee charged, either high or low. An architect can help minimize the overall project cost.
5. Visit the architect’s office during the course of work, which will help you assess the progress.Trust the architect you hire, but keep all agreements in writing.
