Visit their firms, meet the architect, discuss with them about your project. During this time a lot of communication happens between the client and architect. A client can easily assess which architect was able to understand his/her ideas and can also judge whether a particular architect can efficiently translate the ideas into reality. Research can also be done through visiting their websites to check about the projects the architect has completed or undertaken. One can also visit completed projects to have an idea about their style and work. They can also enquire the owners about how satisfied were they with the architect’s work, about their team, cooperation with the client and also about the timely completion of the project. The client should also research about the architect’s credentials to assess their knowledge and training in the field. Referrals from friends, companies and neighbors also matters.
