• Why you need an Architect

  

  An extract from the “Australian Institute of Architects” (Formally The Royal Australian Institute of Architects) RAIA's pamphlet title “Why you need an architect”:

  “Designing and Building a home, office or investment property can be extraordinary complex. Few appreciate how difficult it can be. Arriving at the right design, navigating the town planning process, setting a realistic budget, selecting materials, and just some tasks you will need to involve yourself with, intimately, if you decide to do it alone.

  Architects have the qualifications, professional training, vision and experience to manage the entire design and construction process…Architects create environments inside and outside spaces that function well, that define you and how you like to live and work…Architects designed buildings are more desirable and sought after…well designed buildings work efficiently…Your architect knows how to plan rationally for best environmental performance…successful architecture has an inner glow…A well-designed building should fit you, so that it feels uniquely yours…The right architect for you is the one who can provide judgment, experience and creative skills you seek, and work within your budget…It is the architect’s job to explore all the design options to turn your vision into reality…Only registered architects may use the title, architect…you should only engage a registered architect…”

  That is why you need an Architect!
