5 essentials before design

5 of 5

How do I choose who to work with?

Price alone won’t tell you who is the right fit. Here’s how to compare who to hire on true value.

Here’s what to look for when choosing an architect:

  • Do they design with budget in mind?

The biggest impact on your budget happens during design—not after. Smart space planning and efficient design can save tens of thousands before you ever build.

  • Will their drawings make building easier or harder?

Clear, detailed plans reduce construction issues and help ensure the finished product matches your expectations.

  • Do they understand your true goals and aesthetic style?

The best design starts with deep alignment. Our Design DNA Method ensures your priorities and vision are at the heart of every decision.

  • Are they guiding the process or handing it off?

Some architects lead the entire project, while others step back after design. Be clear on how much support you’ll get.
