When people normally look for a one time or a recurring service , general practice is to search in Google as one located close to them mainly for convenience sake. This applies to professional services as well. Normally people tend to type in as “architects near me” or “interior designers near me” to look for designing their desired spaces. This favours first time home builders especially or retail owners in more than one way.
Why search “architects near me“?
- Locally chosen architects would know the climate, cultural context and the community better. Hence understanding the client’s preferences, their requirements and interpretation of the same in spatial terms would be more fitting.
- Guidance in getting sanctioning approvals, knowledge and choice of local material suppliers and contractors also add to the list.
- Last but not the least – communication becomes way easier if the architect is chosen near you. In person meetings, site visits, electrical, structural and such consultant coordination, vendor follow ups, addressing to issues / changes/ discussions then and there inevitably lead to quicker decisions – all these have proven to be paramount importance in time and cost savings.
Are the “best architects near me+ best interior designers near me” results, really THE best?
The onus of selection lies on the client. Of course one cannot blindly entrust the work of home construction, retail or commercial space renovation, hospital planning, commercial, corporate interiors or for that matter any scale of work big or small to a random search result of “architects located close to me”. Credibility has to be cross-checked. You should know about the architect and their portfolio of works. This gives a prelude of their approach to design and executed works. Publications by recognised design sites enhances the value of the designer and his/her works. In the age of social media, it is easier to know one’s business through their Linkedin, Instagram and Facebook profiles.
And nevertheless to say testimonials/ reviews from past clients have always been the best source to know about an architect’s work till date.
You can call and meet the architect in person to know more about them. Get in touch with us if you have a project enquiry.
