Building of a house and architect's assistance

If someone wants to build a house and starts thinking about the architect's help, it is undoubtedly worth taking such issues into consideration. We have a short guide in which we will tell you how to prepare for cooperation with an interior designer.

Moment for the first meeting

Of course, the first meeting should take place before the reception of the apartment, during the construction. Then you will be able to avoid a hurry and you will be able to think calmly about what solutions can be applied. In such a situation it will be possible to react to the shape of the walls during the construction. This is an important issue that needs to be taken into account. This prevents the walls from being demolished or the installation from being reworked later on. The architect will be able to suggest earlier what needs to be changed at the construction stage, so that afterwards there will be less of these possible problems.

At this first meeting you will also have to present your expectations, tell the architect what suits us, what interiors we like. Then we will also have a guarantee that the interior that will be prepared will be well suited to our tastes. Of course, it is worth remembering that an architect is a person you need to talk to.

We must not be afraid to ask questions, we must try to find answers that will satisfy us and we will have the conviction that we have managed to find out everything. If you go to the first meeting, you will certainly have to specify your budget, it may allow us to avoid misunderstandings during the implementation of the project.

Contract with the architect

In the agreement, it is necessary to specify exactly what scope of cooperation we are planning and what the costs may be associated with it. When signing the contract you have to consider whether we expect only the project or whether we want such a person to take care of the whole activity related to the supervision of the project. It is also worth mentioning in the agreement such an important issue as establishing a preliminary concept and inventory that should be carried out. When it comes to prices per square metre in an online project, we will pay about 75 PLN for a complex project of about 100 PLN, the author's supervision may amount to about 70% of the project's value. A one-off consultation is usually a cost of several hundred zlotys to about 2 thousand zlotys.
