How to choose an architect in Columbus
- Verify the architect holds a current license in your state through the state licensing board, since titles like designer or drafter do not carry the same legal standing.
- Review a portfolio of finished projects similar to yours in size, style, and budget, and ask to speak with a past client about communication and how changes were handled.
- Understand the scope of services. Ask whether the fee covers concept design only or also construction documents, permit support, and site visits during building.
- Discuss budget candidly at the start. A good architect will talk about cost tradeoffs openly and put the agreement, fee structure, and revision limits in writing.
