Ask about experience
Every architect will have a specialist area, so make sure you get in touch with architects who match your needs. Domestic projects and commercial projects have different requirements so it’s important that your architect has the right skill set for the job. It’s a good idea to ask about previous projects so you can get a good idea about the type of work they’ve done.

Interests

An architect who is genuinely interested in your build will be just as enthusiastic as you are, and that’s when you’ll receive the best kind of work. Having said that, be sure to check their credentials too.
