Your role in the architectural design process begins with sharing your vision with your Architect. This includes your preferences, needs, and lifestyle, as well as your budget and timeline. It's essential to communicate these clearly to help your Architect create a design that aligns with your expectations.
Next, you'll work with your Architect to develop the design. This involves reviewing initial sketches, giving feedback, and making decisions on the design direction. Your input is crucial here, as it guides the Architect in refining the design to suit your taste and requirements.
Once the design is finalised, you'll need to approve it before it can be translated into construction plans. This is a significant step as it sets the stage for the construction phase. Your Architect will guide you through this, explaining the details and answering any questions you may have.
During the construction phase, your role is to maintain open communication with your Architect and the construction team. Regular site visits will help you stay updated on the progress, and address any concerns promptly. Remember, your Architect is there to support you throughout this phase, ensuring the construction aligns with the approved design.
Lastly, your role extends to the final stages of the project, where you'll review the completed work with your Architect. This is your opportunity to ensure that the final result meets your expectations, and any minor adjustments can be made before you move in.
