Other Things to Consider
There are countless building design companies so it’s only natural that you’ll want to shop around for the best quote. When deciding which company to use, consider the following.
The cheapest quote can be the most expensive
A quote may look super cheap and therefore attractive but have a look at what you’re getting for the price you pay. Be informed of what’s included and if there are hidden costs from the designer/architect or other consultants that may be required to complete your project.
Do you feel comfortable?
You’ll be working closely with your designer or architect so it’s important your designer ‘gets you’ and they understand what you’re trying to achieve. Do you feel they understand your needs and what your hesitations may be in relation to your project? If you’re comfortable with your designer, then you will feel confident to ask questions or make requests when it comes to your project.
Does your designer have a proven track record?
Experience, a high standard of work and a good reputation are important when it comes to choosing a building designer but it’s also important that they have proven success with obtaining planning permits when required. This is a crucial element of the building process so it’s important that they have success in this area.
Do your values align?
Whether you’re building your forever home or an investment, your project is important. You will be investing a lot of time and money into it so it’s important that the values of your building designer align with your values. Regardless of what you value – experience, integrity, creativity etc when your values align you can be assured that your project will turn out how you envisioned it.
One size doesn’t fit all
It’s always important to remember that every client and project is unique and council requirements can vary from one to another. It’s important not to compare your project or get caught up in what everyone else is doing.
