Architecture is a very unique field, the only one where so many different separate elements combine to create a single design. You can’t get a finished building without thinking about economic, legal, technical, artistic, scientific, and even political interests. In the current economic climate technology and media are also added to this.
As a result it shouldn’t be surprising that the field is so diverse and creative. Each client will have different requirement for these elements and the architects themselves will interpret them differently.
The above is the reason why it is always better to involve an architect from the very start of your project. Creating a relationship early can provide wonderful benefits including ensuring that your ideas for the design are brought to life. If you rush through designing yourself and then consult an architect they may have some difficulty getting to grips with everything you have done.
If you work with an architect from the outset they can provide many vital insights that can enrich your project. For example they can look at shapes, lighting, colours, materials, and even how the construction will need to be organised.
When you have a very specific idea that is very unique and personal you may not want to share it with an architect. Keeping it to yourself can lead to a number of issues though, including planning concerns and delays that could cost you a lot of money. With a professional to call on though you can generally maximise efficiency and stand the best chance of sticking to your budget.
Working with an architect is also very useful in terms of exploring feasibility. There is no point in investing money in a project that has no chance of succeeding.
