What kind of project is it, such as a new house, or an extension to an existing house etc?
Do you prefer a particular style of architecture, such as modernist or traditional? What materials do you like? timber, brick, steel, glass etc? And would you prefer the design to be creative and unique, or more simple and classic?
What is your anticipated timeframe for beginning and completing. Do you have a deadline when you need your project completed?
How many rooms do you need? Should spaces be generous and luxurious, or economical and efficient? Please list anything like included in the design. You can include indoor and outdoor areas.
What sort of services do you hope for from your architect? For example would you prefer just to use the architect for regulatory approvals only, and then take charge of construction yourself, or would you like your architect to look after everything, from design to tendering builders and providing construction oversight?
