Often people are under the impression that one does not hire an architect unless they are planning an elaborate and expensive house. Actually the opposite is true.

The questions which follow are offered as prompts to your planning, as ways to structure and clarify your thinking. The multiple choice format includes broad, open-ended questions more than specific, detailed ones in hopes that you will see the many possibilities and implications of your answers.
No list can be complete in a personal way, so add, subtract, or change as you and your family see fit. You can print separate copies for family members and use this with whoever helps you plan. The questionnaire is divided into these categories:
Purposes in Building Location and Site
Time and Budget Exterior Needs and Wants
Your Involvement Interior Needs and Wants
Mechanics and Logistics

Owner-Builder Schools
Welcome to School!.
Owner-builder schools offer a variety of courses and seminars on designing and building your own home. If you want to be deeply involved in the planning or con-
struction of your home, or to learn more
about what's involved before you sign on
to the total undertaking, a homebuilding course is a good choice.
Some schools offer consulting services, and most teach building techniques that fit their region of the country. For some people, being the designer and builder is a money-saver. For others, a building course is an intensive and satisfying vacation, just as the actual design and building of their homes is a gratifying long term project.
is information about eight schools. A perusal of the yellow pages or a call to the closest college or community college may turn up more schools or classes.

How do you work with an architect?t?
Your role in the team is more than mediation ---
Be clear in the planning stage about what you do and don't want, but be willing to listen.
Prioritize your goals, needs, and wants so the big and important ones are fulfilled first.
It's expensive and aggravating to builders to make last-minute changes. If costs
exceed budget, you will have taken care of what's most important.
Start with a budget several thousand dollars less than what you can realistically spend.
It is highly likely that you will need or want to spend more than you originally planned.
Become familiar with the building process and ready to be involved. Visit the site,
check over bills and plans, carry a tape measure in your pocket. Be involved, but
also trust your architect and builder...............................................................

Your relationship with the architect and the builder is very important and often tricky. Historically, builders were the designers and that remains true for many builders today.
It's easy to see how builders and architects might feel that the other is stepping onto their turf. Architects and builders have different agenda.
The builder wants to build your house "as efficiently and with as few surprises as possible," says Joseph R. Provey in Practical Homeowner. "His profit depends on it. If an architect talks you into something a little unconventional, the proposition becomes a little riskier for the builder."""""

Through the years Upper Loft has developed an ever-growing course offering that centers
on two objectives: to inform and educate the home buying/building public to mechanical and aesthetic aspects of timber framed struc-tures; and to provide the best practical and theoretical education possible for persons who think they might like to become timber-frame professionals of hobbyists.
Often people are under the impression that one does not hire an architect unless they are planning an elaborate and expensive house. Actually the opposite is true.
-- Lois Davidson Gottlieb
The Role of the Architectedge
Why hire an architect?
:PHYSSIZE
On to Construction
On to Construction
Paying an architect can happen in a number of ways, depending on the amount and nature of the services needed. Hourly rates, especially for consulting, a stipulated sum per square feet, a percentage of the construction costs, a fixed fee, or a combination of these methods can be used.
The contract with the architect is very important. Here you and your architect put into writing your terms of agreement on the services the architect will provide, the construction budget, and the architects compensation. The AIA has standard forms.
our relationship with the architect and the builder is very important and often tricky. Historically, builders were the designers and that remains true for many builders today. It's easy to see how builders and architects might feel that the other is stepping onto their turf.

rough
emerge from the first stage. The architect will show the arrangement of rooms, and maybe make a cardboard model of the house. This is the time to revise and refine, and it's important to do so now as much as you need to until you are satisfied. Your architect will give you a rough estimate of construction costs.
step2
The architect prepares rough sketches that show room arrangement, and perhaps a cardboard house model. Revise and refine now until you are satisfied with the result. Your architect then gives you a rough estimate of construction costs.
step3
You've agreed on a final version of the rough sketches, and you need to refine it and decide on the finishing details -- mouldings, door knobs, windows, etc.
step4
Your architect prepares construction documents for the builder or for bid. These include detailed drawing and specifications, and become part of the contract with the builder..

You and your architect clarify needs, wants, and budget, and therefore, what you will build. Bring your ideas, be they sketches, lists, clippings, or thoughts, and listen to the architect's ideas.eas...t's ideas.
builder
This is often next, although many people hire a good builder first. It can work well both ways -- an architect can help you find a reputable builder or a builder can lead you to an architect he respects and works well with.
construct
An architect can administer the contract, review the builder's applications for payment, visit the site, and keep you informed of progress.
