As architects who have worked in Hyderabad for more than 15 years, we want to assist you in selecting an architect for your project. Here are the essential questions you should ask to potential architects:
1. Explain Your Process
To get the full picture of an architect’s approach to project planning and design, ask them about the steps they take from the initial meeting through to construction completion.
At Walls Asia, Our Architects in Hyderabad begin by studying your land and then discussing with you your ideas before creating a detailed plan that takes into account how and what matters to you most – our architects want to hear how they’ll use the space you provide us.
2. Can I see projects like mine that you’ve done before?
If you want to build a house:
- Ask to see houses they’ve designed.
- If it’s an office, ask about their office projects.
- Look at their work in different areas of Hyderabad.
We’ve worked all across the city, from Gachibowli to Banjara Hills, and we’re happy to show you buildings similar to what you want to build.
3. How do you handle money and time?
A good architect should be clear about costs and time. Ask them:
- How much they will charge
- When you need to pay
- How long the project will take
- What happens if plans need to change
They should explain everything in simple terms without confusing technical words.
4. Who will I work with during my project?
You should know who will answer your calls and messages. Ask for the name of the person who will be in charge of your project.
At Walls Asia, we make sure you always know who to contact when you have questions or concerns.
5. Do you know Hyderabad’s building rules?
Do not hesitate to ask this: Building in Hyderabad means following certain rules. Your architect should know about the following:
- Getting permits from the government
- Following local building laws
- Understanding Vastu if you want it
- Making sure everything is legal and safe
6. How do you work with builders and other experts?
Your architect will need to work with many people to build your project. Ask them how they choose builders and other helpers.
We work with trusted civil contractors in Hyderabad who we know will do good work.
7. What makes you different from other architects?
Ask what special things they do. They might talk about:
- How they design buildings
- Ways they save energy
- How they use computers and new tools
- How do they check their work
- What help do they give after the building is done?
8. Can I talk to some of your past clients?
Talking to people who have already worked with the architect can tell you a lot. You can learn:
- If they finish work on time
- If they’re easy to talk to
- How they solve problems
- If their clients are happy
Making Your Choice
Choosing an architect is a big step in making your dream building come true. When you ask these questions, listen carefully to the answers.
A good architect will:
- Take time to understand what you want
- Explain things in a way you can understand
- Show you their past work proudly
- Be honest about costs and time
- Make you feel comfortable asking questions
Think about how you feel when talking to them. Do they listen well? Do they answer your questions clearly? Do they seem interested in your ideas? These things are just as important as their experience and skills.
Don’t rush your decision. It’s okay to talk to several architects before choosing one. Meeting them in person is always better than just talking on the phone. Write down their answers so you can compare them later.
Remember that the lowest price isn’t always the best choice. Look for an architect who understands your needs and has experience with buildings like the one you want to create. The right architect will be your partner in turning your ideas into a real building that you’ll love for years to come.
