  1. Article: Avarchitectsbuild.com ARCHITECTS AND WHAT TO CONSIDER BEFORE HIRING THEM Architects are not part of your everyday life and that is a major reason we do not realize the extent of their contribution in our daily life. Everywhere you step in your daily life which starts from your own home, the joggers’ park for your morning walk, the gym for the workouts, your office, your kid’s school building, the supermarket for the groceries, the park where you take the evening stroll or the restaurant you take out your family for dinner – each of those buildings are the creations of an architect. Think of the architects in Washington, DC or just the northern Virginia home builders at large. The kind of buildings that adorn the place are a result of excellent architecture, like the Mount Vernon Estate, Old stone House, U.S. Capitol, the White House, Dumbarton House, The octagon museum and many others. What they do Architects are majorly known for designing and planning out a new structure, which is basically putting onto paper what their amazing imagination has cooked up and then bringing it to life, keeping in mind that it portrays the style and life of the people living/ working in it. But what we often forget is architects do more than just the designing and planning. They also supervise the construction of a building to ensure that their planning is accurately executed. Apart from creating a new piece right from the scratch, they also work with a structure which is already in place like renovating a part of your house or making new additions to the existing building. Or just changing the structure of a particular part in your home. Selecting the right architect As you search for architects for your purpose, here are some of the qualities you should set as the selecting criteria: Communication:You will be required to communicate with the architect on a daily basis and explain your requirements and how you want the end product to look like. Any communication gap would result in dissatisfaction. For this purpose, it is also required that he be a good listener, to understand your wishes rather than imposing his ideas on you. Drawing skills: Whether it is by hand or by computer, the skill of bringing the plan on paper should be good. If the sketch is amiss, then the execution is doubtful. Sense of Design: A good sense of design is an important quality because their imagination is a part of their job and they should be able to replicate a good design on paper. Technicalities: Needless to say that their technical abilities should be impeccable, so that they can flawlessly integrate mechanical, technical and structural factors in their execution while keeping in mind the building materials to be used.

Visualizing the end product and planning accordingly is a specialty and the reason why we hire an architect in the first place. Passion: It is always true that when you are passionate about work, you do it from your heart and your work happens to be flawless. Business Sense: Okay, he came up with an amazing design, but is he considering the feasibility of the design not just structurally but also economically? An architect needs to consider all the aspects thoroughly before proposing the project; its success thoroughly depends on the rightness of his projections.
