Choosing the Right Architect — The Questions That Actually Matter

Choosing the Right Architect — The Questions That Actually Matter

Selecting an architect is one of the most important decisions in any project. Beyond

drawings and permissions, it’s about partnership — someone who will interpret your goals, respect your budget, and deliver lasting value.

1. Experience That Fits Your Project

Ask to see similar work. At Walsh + Walsh, our portfolio spans one-off homes, extensions, and small commercial and community buildings — each designed with care and technical precision.

2. A Defined Design Process

We work through clear stages — feasibility, concept, planning, tender, and construction — so clients know what to expect and when.

3. Transparency on Fees and Budget

Good architecture balances creativity with cost control. We believe in open discussion around budget and scope from the start.

4. Sustainability at the Core

Energy efficiency and environmental responsibility are embedded in every project — not added at the end. Orientation, materials, and renewable systems all play a role.

5. Collaboration

Architecture is teamwork. We value strong relationships with clients, engineers, and builders to ensure design intent is delivered through construction.

When you choose the right architect, the process feels considered, creative, and well-managed — and the result speaks for itself.
