“I already know what I don’t know…don’t I?”
There are so many elements that go into what may at first seem a simple residential project that you will need to consider. Below is a list of 20 questions to get you started…and each of those could probably lead 20 more!
- What does it look like?
- How big will it be?
- What will it be made of?
- Will it fit on my site?
- Will the council let me build it?
- How will it stand up?
- Who will build it?
- How much will it cost?
- What will the interior look like?
- What colour walls? Floors? Ceilings?
- Where will the kitchen sinks/oven/pantry be?
- One basin or two?
- Where will the light come from?
- What about solar power?
- Where will the power points go?
- What about light fittings?
- Do we need smart wiring?
- How long will it last?
- How do we look after it?
- Will my car/fridge/piano/Granny’s armoire fit in there?
…and the list goes on!
A good architect will help you both ask and answer all of those questions and more throughout the course of your project.
Our experience and in-depth knowledge of the construction industry gives us the skills to help guide you smoothly through all stages and elements of your project – building your design team, the design itself, selection of materials, choosing a builder and construction.
So do you “just need a set of plans” or do you need an architect?
