Why You Should Hire An Architect.

We’ve all had those days, daydreaming about the perfect house. Seeing our name in lights plastered across the largest, most beautiful skyscraper in our city. We’ve designed every detail. From the colour of the walls to bedroom design, even the window style.

We tend to just sit in awe and wonder if we can really attain the things we fantasize about. We often forget that our dreams are not so far out of reach. In fact, they are right at our fingertips! There is someone out there who can replicate your every thought, someone who can bring your wildest imaginations to life, someone who takes all your wishes and makes them come true. That someone is the architect. The chief builder.

“A good architect actually pays for themselves – more than once. You will reap the reward and the building will be hugely better and deliver much better value for it.” Kevin McCloud, Grand Designs

Here are just a few of the trillions of reasons why you should hire an architect:

The first and most obvious perk is simply assured excellence. You may want to design and build on your own, forgetting that you’ve got your own job and things to take care of. An architect, on the other hand, spends all their hours, all their might and thoughts on you so you can have the perfect building. It’s their job,their passion but you’re just doing it because you have to. We can’t deny that passion and dedication play such a huge role in the outcome of a project.

Something else to consider is their work experience. As a first-time builder, there are definitely so many things that you wouldn’t know yet even though you’ve done your research. Having an architect in your corner can save you a lot of stress dealing with things like building codes,zoning laws and more.

Yes, you’ve got your great ideas, your designs and they’re amazing,no doubt. However, that extra spice can be added on by your architect. They’ve got the big picture in mind and can help you add that extra creative touch.

There’s also the matter of technicality involved. An architect is a trained professional and having one helps you steer clear of rookie mistakes. They can make a well structured design that would not disappoint you along the road.

Not only do chief builders avoid problems, they solve already existing ones such as needing more office space or making room for an expanding family. They can bring up solutions and very practical alternatives that may have taken you a while to arrive at.

Contrary to popular belief, an architect can actually save you loads of money.
They produce a well thought out plan for your project and therefore they are able to build economically and efficiently. A building can be designed to let in natural light or allow heating from the sun or cooling from the environment. Not only is this eco-friendly but it is energy-efficient and can lower electricity bills.

An architect can work with your budget and help you choose good materials and workmanship at a price affordable to you. You get help choosing materials and finishes that are not just sturdy but gorgeous as well, saving on frequent maintenance and replacement costs.

An architect can save you money and also make you money. There’s no way you can reject such a deal. Good design sells. A well-designed house has a high resale value. A well-designed store attracts more customers. A well-designed work environment inspires employees and increases productivity.
When done correctly, you’ll find that there is absolutely no downside to hiring an architect.
