1. Check Their Experience
Every project has different requirements. Choose an architect with experience in your project type—homes, bungalows, offices, hotels, restaurants, salons or retail spaces.
Review completed projects and ask about similar projects they have handled.

2. Verify Professional Credentials
Ensure the architect is registered with the Council of Architecture (CoA). Verify their registration details before appointing them.

3. Look Beyond Design
Good architecture is not just about looks. Consider planning, structure, ventilation, natural light, circulation, Vastu, budget, materials and execution.

4. Understand the Scope of Work
Before finalizing, clarify what is included—design, working drawings, approvals, structural/MEP coordination, material selection, site visits and execution support.

5. Discuss Your Budget Honestly
Share your approximate construction and interior budget from the beginning. This helps the architect plan the design, materials, finishes and services realistically.

6. Choose an Architect Who Understands You
Choose someone who listens, understands your lifestyle and budget, communicates clearly and is transparent about fees.
The right architect is one whose experience, design approach and working process match your project
