How did you find the architect who designed the house?

Once we've completed the land transfer, we need to start looking for a designer.

• • First House, Part 5 • •

It's not easy to find a designer that fits our house. It takes some time to find one.

But before we find someone who understands our style, we need to understand ourselves clearly.

🟠 Prepare your information and needs clearly.

• Identify needs and lifestyles: What kind of home style do you like, such as Modern Minimalist Classics?

• What special functionality is required, such as a multi-purpose room, functional or customized as a guest bedroom, large storage room, swimming pool?

• Number of bedrooms, bathrooms required

• Preferred or avoided wind and sun direction according to the lifestyle of the home.

• Set a consolidated budget for construction and design so that the architect can choose materials and set the appropriate scope of work.

• Understand the area, land size, shape and surrounding environment, see what we like and what avoidance.

🟠 Start finding a designer and reviewing the work.

* * When you ask about the price and scope of work with the designer, you will often be asked back about the "budget, space size, and preferred home style," so you should prepare this part of the information for a preliminary discussion.

• Find information, view contributions from websites, social media, or introductions from acquaintances.

• Try to contact several individuals, both architects and free-lance architects, to compare

• See the styles that each designer is good at. Check each architect's portfolio if the design style matches your preferences.

• Consider how much experience an architect has in designing a residential home and whether it has experience in relation to the size or budget you set.

• Check your resume and length of work in the industry

🟠 Talk appointment, preliminary interview.

• Present the way you imagine it, including the patterns you have in mind

• Give details of needs, favorite styles, and budget to the architect.

• Assess how well the architect understands and listens to your needs, has some interesting and useful introductory ideas or suggestions to your problem.

• When you meet, does communication go smoothly? Because you have to work together for a long time.

• Inquire into the work process and task scope, design procedures, remodels, construction control (if any), and documents to be obtained, such as the construction model.

🟠 Consider service fees and contracts.

• What is the service rate, for example, as a percentage of the construction value or as a price?

• Comparison of value for money with quality and scope of work received

🔺 don't have to choose the cheapest person, but it's best to choose the person worth and click each other.

🔺 have to consider the documents carefully, not take too much emotion to make decisions.

• Request quotations and draft contracts for details of work scope, length of work and payment terms.

🟠 Final decision

• Choose an architect who you feel knows about, has a matching style, and is responsible enough because a good relationship between the architect and the landlord is pivotal to the completion of the project.

The simple conclusion is

1. Know your own needs

2. See pleasant works

3. Talk, understand

4. Consider budget and cost-effectiveness

5. Choose the "yes" one.

Finding a compatible architect is not easy, but not too difficult.

Of course, hiring a designer will cost you extra, but on the other hand, design costs are not just expenses, but investments that save money in the long run and add mental value to your home. 🏠👷🏼‍♂️

Think about work, no time or housing problems. Think about it.
