If you are building a new home, hiring an architect for the design and project management of the home can make the whole process go smoothly. Here are 10 questions you will want to ask the architects you interview for your project:

1. What does the architect see as important issues or considerations in your project? What are the challenges of the project?
2. How will the architect establish priorities and make decisions?
3. How busy is the architect?
4. What sets this architect apart from the rest?
5. How does the architect establish fees? When will fee payments be expected?
6. What are the steps in the design process?
7. How does the architect organize the process?
8. What does the architect expect you to provide?
9. If the scope of the project changes later in the project, will there be additional fees? How will these fees be justified?
10. What services does the architect provide during construction

While most of our clients utilize our full architectural design and construction document services, in some instances we provide a drafting service (only drawings and renderings) in order to aid the client in visualizing the floor plans and elevations of their new home.

Our newest client, building a custom home along the banks of the Mississippi River in Illinois, contacted us for drafting services to provide drawings to allow him to conceptualize the home on the property based on his sketches. He did not request a full construction set of plans or specifications as he is acting as the general contractor for his home. We were happy to modify our fees based on our client’s specific design needs. With his input, we are helping him develop an exterior façade and plans which addresses the lot and aesthetic character he desires.

The approximately 2300 square foot residence will face 90’ of river frontage directly on the Mississippi.
