Four Things to Check Before Hiring an Architect

In the DIY world we live in, hiring an architect may seem like a luxury — but they bring a lot of expertise and innovative perks to the site. No matter the size of your construction or design aspirations, it can be very discouraging to get to the middle of a project and find you have hit a brick wall. By hiring an architect to oversee the entire scope of the project, you not only save time and money, but you are ensuring the safety of your build from start to finish.

Working with an architecture firm, like Neenan Archistruction®, you are opening the door for decades of experience to drive your project to new heights. Some areas where licensed architects thrive the most are areas of the project that revolve around building codes, interior, and exterior design, structural integrity, and other skills that benefit your overall project goals. Before hiring an architect, consider these four things:

Culture

The world of architecture is founded on collaboration. Collaboration through the ages is what has contributed to some of the world’s greatest landmarks like the Taj Mahal, the Colosseum, and even the Eiffel Tower. To successfully collaborate, we must make sure each contractor fits in well with our overall company culture. At Neenan Archistruction®, our culture revolves around diversity, creativity, and the power of uniting our communities with our designs.

Reputation

When hiring an architect, it is essential to read reviews to get a picture of the construction company’s overall reputation. After all, you only want the best working on your project! At Neenan Archistruction®, we are dedicated to building strong relationships and developing effective workflows to produce quality results.

Process

The process in which an architect works is one of the most important factors. You want a company that can meet critical deadlines especially when there are shareholders involved. Our architecture firm has decades of experience working in the commercial, educational, government, and healthcare fields — creating and executing innovative plans by using the latest industry technology such as:
