Tips from Boston Architect on How to Hire an Architect

Want to avoid getting ripped off on architectural designs and home renovations? Boston Architect, experienced architects serving Eastern Massachusetts, has the following tips:
  • Ask around
    You want to be able to trust whoever you hire ultimately. Getting leads from family and friends if they can recommend anyone. This should give you a good base from which you can develop a base. If this initial research doesn’t amount in much, then scour the Internet for names.
  • Narrow down the list
    Research what each architect has done. A look at their portfolios is a good indicator of whether they are a good fit for you and your needs, as their work will tell you about their architectural design process and philosophy.
  • Identify a short list
    Pick a few who would be good fits. Set up initial phone consultations with each, and ask if they would take on your project, anticipated fees and references. Follow this up by calling each reference to get their feelings about the architect.
  • Meet the finalists
    Conduct on site interviews with the final two or three. Ask them every question during this process, including your budget, design process and any issues or opportunities that could present themselves during the project.
  • Make your selection
    Pick whoever you feel most comfortable with and can trust. Work out a contract where each party’s responsibilities are clearly spelled out.
Follow these tips and you should avoid unscrupulous architects who won’t do what they promise. If you’re in Boston or the surrounding areas, consider Boston Architect to be your residential architect.
