To help you find the right architect for the right job, here are the top tips how to go about choosing a great architect.

1. Normally The best way of choosing an architect would be to go by personal recommendation from a friend or relative or someone you trust who has recently used the services of an architect, however a better way could be to find an architect who regarded and recognised as thebest by all his clients.
2. Better Results works out much better value than Cheaper Rates. Consider carefully what you are getting for what you are being charged.  If something goes wrong, it can end up cost you a lot more than what you were trying to save.  Try to get more rather than trying to save.  It could be much more valuable for you if the architect to gives you a better service or more than simply giving you a small discount. But watch out for those who try to charge more under the pretence of delivery quality – so request to see their work before any assignments and check on the references provided.  Why not ask to for 3 references -

3. Check out their local experience - as this local knowledge of dealing with local boroughs may help get your plans accepted faster.
4. Ignore testimonials on the architects own website (as nobody ever puts bad ones on their website) but check out these on an independent websites like thebestof. 
5. Once you have chosen, to avoid any stress later get everything documented - outlining with time-lined project specification.
6. To help others and even more important, to show appreciation to the Architect, once the project is completed to your satisfaction, post a testimonial on an independent website like thebestof (as this is normally more believable compared to a testimonial on their own website).  To ensure you get the best results and be more helpful to the architect you have chosen if you inform them that you plan to put a testimonial about thier work on thebestof once the project is over.
