Nothing on earth is more exciting than seeing your old home being transformed into a new one, or building a new home altogether. But this excitement is often overshadowed by the apprehensions of finding the best professional who'll shoulder the responsibility of handling your project smoothly from the beginning through the end. And who do you think will do the execution work for you? Yes, you got me right – an architect. An architect is the person who does the work of planning, organizing and executing your project on your behalf. He is the one who'll dictate how your home will look like, what will be the function of the different areas of your home, the financial cost involved, the estimated time required to complete your project and handing over the keys.
Having said all these, I'm sure that now you're being able to understand how important it is to choose the right person for the right job. So have you been planning to build your own new home in Hyderabad? Did your project not take off as you were not being able to find a good professional architect in Hyderabad? Here's offering you a few pointers to help you get started in your search and make an informed decision.
There are a number of ecommerce websites and aggregator platforms that have made sourcing architects easier. These are online nation-wide directories of qualified and experienced architectural service providers. Using these online directories, you can either limit your search within your area or can do a nation-wide search and then select the best out of the rest. When looking at the service providers’ website or portfolio, always make it a point to check the ratings and reviews given by other people. Once you've shortlisted a few, start contacting them individually and start collecting quotations to take your search forward and zero in on the best one.
Apart from this, with the upsurge of social media networks, professional architects these days are more prone towards creating their online portfolios with an aim to reach the potential customers. Searching the different social media pages like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter can help you in many different ways. You can take a look at the work done by the architects, check out the comments and suggestions given by other people, interact with architects on a one-to-one basis and then select the best out of the rest.
Interior designers, general contractors and other like minded professionals in your area can also help you in spotting the right architect for your project. While talking to local architects, ask them to show you some of their sample works. Also set your expectations clear. You can also give them a brief of the work you want them to do along with an estimated budget and ask them if they have the right level of expertise to do this kind of work and whether they're comfortable doing it or not. The clearer your briefs are for the architect to understand, the less likely are your chances of being disappointed by the outcome. Additionally, when contacting architects via your interior designers and local contractors, make sure that the person has the knowledge, experience and the required talents to meet execute your project.
Make a point to meet at least 4-5 architects in and around your area before finalizing your decision. It is important to understand that your relationship with the architect should have more of a personal touch than professional bindings. Since he's the one who'll be handling your dream project so it's important that you discuss your personal preferences, your hobbies, your tastes, your likes and dislikes with him and make him clearly understand your expectations from the project. Following the aforementioned steps you can find the right architect for your project, your budget and most importantly for you!
Apart from all these, you can even opt to go with the aggregator services. Aggregators can help you in finding the best architect in your area, check their reliability and eventually hire them for you, all done at no extra cost!
