Three Questions to Ask Your Architect in Rozelle


You and your family may have been thinking about moving to a new house for a while. Now you have finally made the decision to design and build your own custom home, rather than purchase something that is already on the market. The first step to get this process underway is to hire an architect working in Rozelle to prepare a design based on your goals, needs, and budget. There's only one problem: you aren't sure how to go about selecting and hiring the right architect for you.

The key to finding the right architect is to ask the right questions. The three questions listed below have been provided to help you navigate your way towards the right choice for you, your family and the dream home you have always envisioned.

  1. What is the cost? Cost isn't everything, but it is a big consideration. The 'right' architect for your family is the one that considers the locality, site and goals and delivers a great design within your price range. Ask your architect how much they charge for their services and use the answer to narrow down your choices. The cheapest architect may not be the right person to help you achieve your desired goals.
  2. Who will be working on your project? When you hire an architect, you may base your decision, at least partially, on which architect does the most to inspire your confidence. It’s a good idea to speak to the architect who will be working with you on the project. If you are working with a larger architectural firm, will you be interacting with a single or multiple point of contacts?
  3. Is the architect interested in this project? Architecture is a creative art, so it's important to find someone who is passionate about your project and truly wants to make your vision a reality. A passionate architect will be more fun to work with and is likely to deliver a better design.
