- Research local architects: Start by researching architects in your area. Look for architects who specialize in custom homes and have experience with the type of home you want to build.
- Ask for referrals: Ask your builder, friends and family for referrals to architects they have worked with.
- Interview potential architects: Once you have a list of potential architects, contact them to set up interviews. Ask questions about their experience, design style, and process. Include your builder in this process.
- Review portfolios: Ask to see examples of their work to get an idea of their design style.
- Check references: Ask for references from past clients and contact them to get a better understanding of their experience working with the architect.
- Get quotes: Ask for quotes from each architect to compare their services and fees.
- Make sure they understand and agree to work within your overall construction budget with design and material selections.
- Make your decision: After reviewing all the information, select the architect that best meets your needs and budget.
