Questions to Ask Your Architect
Use these questions to make scope, decisions and responsibilities clearer before design begins.
Use this before the next decision
- What exactly is included in the appointment?
- What will I receive at each stage?
- Who coordinates the other consultants?
- What information do you need from me before design starts?
- How will planning and approval requirements be handled?
- How will cost be monitored as the design develops?
- How are revisions and changes managed?
- What happens if the project pauses or changes direction?
- How does construction support work, if included?
- What decisions should I expect to make, and when?
HSD note: This checklist helps organise questions. It does not confirm site conditions, approvals, costs, structural adequacy or legal title. Those matters require appropriate professional investigation.
