Many people see architects as an unnecessary expense that burdens their carefully measured construction, purchase or renovation budget. With the flood of typical house offers and online advice and beautiful photos, it may seem that cooperation with an architect is unnecessary, but it is worth considering whether an investment in the creation of a project can bring long-term benefits and improve the experience and results of your project.
Architects are experts in the field of spatial design. Their experience can bring new ideas and innovative solutions that you might never have thought of on your own. Their role goes beyond the purely aesthetic aspect, and with their deep understanding of architectural principles, materials, construction and functionality of spaces, they are key in designing a home that not only looks beautiful, but is practical and comfortable for living. Their experience and knowledge allow them to identify your needs and translate them into interesting solutions that suit your lifestyle.
The architect will listen to your wishes and combine them with his own expertise to create an individual solution. The first meeting is mostly about listening. Architects want to know how you live, what you do, what makes you smile and what you don’t like; what is your social and family dynamic and how much different aspects of your life mean to you, such as eating, spending time in nature or playing sports. Based on the conversation, he will propose a spatial solution that enables and encourages your described lifestyle. It will organize all the elements of your life through a systematic approach within a technologically regulated and rational structure, which will also take into account your budget.
Architects are trained to see the world as an interconnected system, so they can foresee errors in it before they even materialize. While contractors and builders are primarily trained in their specific part of the job (and can alert you to electrical wiring errors, for example), architects envision the bigger picture—from how your new two-seater will fit into the aesthetics of the whole, to how the distribution of the installations will affect your later possibilities of adaptation of the house. Through the constant balancing of all impulses in the space design process, the architect is able to create a balanced and stable system that will provide you with a reliable framework for the future.
Architects often have good connections with various contractors and material suppliers. They can help you choose quality materials and reliable contractors, which can make the construction or renovation process much easier. The price of project documentation on the market fluctuates (depending on the service offered), but it is usually expressed as a percentage of the total investment: for the entire project documentation of a simple single-family house, you will deduct approximately 2% of the total budget, and for a complex interior design, 5%. What you will get for this price, of course, depends on the initial agreement, but you will certainly be saved many costs due to wrong decisions.
By working with an architect, you can ensure that your home is attractive and functional, which has a positive impact on your stay in it and its future resale value.
