Questions & Answers
|
|
Q:
|
What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a company like yours?
|
|
A:
|
When seeking to hire an architect make sure they are a "Registered Architect" in your State, "active" and "in good standing".
Most states offer online verification of professionals through their office of professions web site. Once verified, look for qualifications and experience of that RA on your type of project.
Confirm they have errors and omissions insurance.
Get to know the architect you will be working with as your relationship could last months, years or decades. Like minded or inspired personalities and styles usually work best.
Beware of those passing themselves off as architect's who are not RA's. It is sad to say, but there are many who do this and is a felony. A degree in architecture does license the person to practice. A person may only practice architecture if they have completed the required education, internship training AND passed the exam in your State and are actively licensed in your State.
