An architect is a person who plans, designs, and reviews the construction of buildings. Professionally, an architect’s decisions affect public safety, and thus an architect must undergo specialized training consisting of advanced education and a practicum (or internship) for practical experience to earn a licence to practice architecture.
The architect hired by a client is responsible for creating a design concept that meets the requirements of that client and provides a facility suitable to the required use. In that, the architect must meet with and question the client to ascertain all the requirements and nuances of the planned project. People find it difficult to choose an architect who will help them to archive their projects. There are some considerations which are
Pricing: Can vary between different Architects as unfortunately there is no set price. Some may provide fixed fee quotes, others opt for a percentage quote. There are many resources required by Architects to complete their projects such as office space, computer equipment and most importantly professional indemnity insurance and as a result of these factors prices can vary.
Length of Project: Again this factor can vary depending on the type of project, sourcing of materials and scale of project. The Architect in question should be able to advise on a time-frame.
Qualifications: When choosing an architect, ensure that they have the relevant qualifications in order to take on your project. Architects must be registered with the City Council so you have to check whether they are registered or not.
Experience: How long has that architect been in the industry and are there any projects that they have undertaken before which are similar to your project?
