Ten Questions to Ask an Architect about Your Home

Feel comfortable asking an architect to help you with your home.

Here are ten questions to ask an architect to help you with your home:

1. I think I need to make architectural changes to my house but where do I begin?
2. How do I work with an architect and how much will it cost?
3. Do I need to add on to my house or can I alter and renovate within my existing home’s footprint to achieve my goals?
4. Does it make sense to add on to my house and if so where?
5. Can you help me make better use of space in my house?
6. What can I do to improve my home’s curb appeal?
7. How best can I open up the interior of my home to make it more spacious with an open plan layout?
8. Can you help improve and update my kitchen? bathroom? Other rooms?
9. Who can help me determine how much the alterations and/or addition will cost?
10. How can my home be changed to accommodate our current & changing needs?

Are any of these questions ones that you have?  What are some other questions you have to ask an architect?
