You and your architect:
Selecting an architect

follow these steps:

• Consider selecting an architect as early as possible. Architects can help you define your project in every respect and may do site studies, assist in securing planning and zoning approvals, and provide a variety of other pre-design services.
• To find a suitable firm talk to individuals that have a similar project and ask them if they were happy with the architect they selected. Review our featured projects to see if you are able to identify firms that match your project type and expectations. You can also consult our directory to find architects in your area.
• Interview potential firms so you can learn how the architect’s team will approach your project. Also review projects the firm has designed that are similar in scale and type to yours.

You and your architect:
Getting Started

ask yourself these questions:

• How will your project be used — do you have specific ideas on how to translate these activities into spaces and square footage?
• Do you have a site or will this also be a subject of discussion with your architect?
• Have you decided upon a schedule or budget?
• What are your overall aesthetic and emotional, as well as practical, aspirations for the project?
