Follow on Google News | Veteran Architect and QTECT Founder Dr. Nir Buras Offers Tips On Hiring ArchitectsWith 30 Years Experience and an Online Architecture and Interior Design Marketplace Launching Soon, the Noted DC Based Architect Gives Insight on Choosing the Right Designer
By: QTECT, Inc. Broaden the Search: According to Dr. Buras, the most common pitfall of people seeking a designer is relying too heavily- and often exclusively- Look for the Listener: “Architects tend to be passionate about their design philosophy, but it is the rare gem who is more passionate about yours”, says Buras who recommends declining services from the architect who doesn’t seem to ask enough questions or listen intently enough during or prior to the initial consultation. For Buras, that’s a red flag, a warning that communication failures throughout the design life-cycle will delay the completion of the project with frequent clarifications and corrections as the designer consistently fails to incorporate client feedback into the design. Don’t Settle for the First Portfolio Liked: Comparing browsing portfolios to being a dinner guest, Buras says that buyers, like guests, tend to have sincere compliments about the home they are seeing, but don’t want to move in. However, Nir believes that the test of a good fit is being able to see oneself living in the house, bathroom, addition- whatever the finished product may be. “At a minimum, it’s important to review past work that matches the appropriate building/room type, inhabitant capacity, and family structure to ensure that the architect is capable of designing something not only beautiful, but formed to fit inhabitants everyday functions as well”. Opt for Tech-Based Solutions: Currently, several companies are using technology to match people to a local designer willing to design on the buyer’s budget and terms- streamlining the search for the right designer. Dr. Nir Buras himself is launching QTECT (www.qtect.com) Regardless of the project type, scale, or budget the right architect can enhance results and provide innovative ideas and solutions while a poorly chosen architect can distort the buyer’s vision and disrupt productivity. Consumers should always choose their architect thoughtfully to protect their investments and ensure the highest quality results.
