How To Select An Architectural Designer
A qualified architectural designer can be in charge of designing any kind of building
, like schools, colleges, hotels, hospitals and skyscrapers. For building safe, long-lasting, and sophisticated urban construction structures, the services of professional architectural designers are indispensable. If the designer is not good enough, you might end up with a building of inferior quality, even after spending significant bucks on it. Hence, you must be careful while choosing and/or hiring an architect. Here are some tips on how you can choose a well-qualified architectural designer:
Do your research. Do your homework, and jot down the contact details of as many architects as possible. Apart from doing research on the internet, ask your friends, neighbors and relatives for the name of a good architect, if they had hired one in the recent past.
Explore the website. Once you have completed a detailed comparative study of multiple architectural designers and made your preliminary selection depending on your needs, budgets and the services that are on offer, take an extensive look at their websites. Every contemporary architect or the organization (s)he belongs should have an active digital presence, and the website must be well designed, organized, useful and informative. If a designer does not have a website, or if the website is not regularly updated, you can hardly expect sophisticated, satisfactory services from that firm.
Visit the architects office.. No matter how busy you are with other works/projects, you must visit the architects office at least once, instead of meeting him/her only at the construction site. The architects office will tell you a lot about the quality of his work. If you find that the office is disorganized and/or not well maintained and/or (s)he is reluctant to show you the models and pictures of his previous works/designs, look for other architects.
Ask questions. If you are impressed with the appearance of the architects office, pose a few important questions to the service providers. One is about their qualification and the other is about their relevant experience (even if you already know that from your research work). Ask them to show you all the documents and certificates, to judge the authenticity of their credentials.
The architect should use 3D software.All modern, dynamic architects make use of 3D software to showcase their designs in the best possible manner. Make sure that the person you hire is conversant with 3D designing techniques, and does not depend only on outdated 2D images.
Choose through his drawings and words.Tell the architectural designer everything in detail about your project (or building) and ask him to draw a draft design for your inspection. Look at the architects drawings carefully and feel free to ask questions, if you do not understand anything in the drawing. A good architectural designer will always explain his/her designs properly to you. If you fail to understand the design even after repeated inquiries, then either the design is not good or the architect cannot communicate about its details properly. Understandably, hiring such architects is not at all advisable.
Ask for referrals. Once you have gone through all the above steps, ask the architect to provide you some referrals so that you can directly talk to the people who have already availed of the services of the designer in question.
Follow the simple guidelines stated above and make the process of hiring the right
architectural designer. for your project quick, easy and informed.
