Architecture
The Right Architect for Your Commercial Design Project
You find yourself in the planning stages of a commercial design project. You might be a small business entrepreneur who has been renting space and is ready to take the leap to have your own building constructed. Maybe you’re a young church operating out of a local school who is growing and needs its own building. You might have a historic old building that you want to restore. Maybe you’re a fledgling business in need of help upfitting a commercial space to meet your business’s needs. Regardless of your specific situation, you need a commercial architect, but the right architect for the job. There are many aspects to consider when determining the right fit for your specific needs:
• Experience
What experience does a firm have in working on your project type? Does the firm “specialize” in your type of project? How familiar is the firm with local building codes and regulations. How familiar is your firm with the local building code officials? Your architect’s relationships with these entities are just as important as their actual knowledge.
• Digital Expertise
Does the firm operate with the latest digital programs so that you can visualize the building look early in the design phase?
• Relational Fit
The design and construction process has significant time associated with it. It is encouraged that you select an architect based on a relationship style that is a good fit for you and your design team.
