How to Work with an Architect

Have you ever wondered ...

• Why should I hire an architect? When should I hire an architect?
• What do architects really do? What is the value they add to my project?
• What is the client's role in the design process?
• What is the difference between a builder and an architect?
• How do I find an architect with the skills, background and personal qualities that match my needs?

In October 2003, AIA Asheville published the first edition of the helpful guide, "How To Work With an Architect: Project Guide and Directory Listing " . This 24-page booklet will help you understand the process of working with an architect on a residential or small commercial project.

You can view the 2006 second edition copy HERE and download in its pdf version. You may also request a free hardcopy version to be mailed to you. (Allow ten business days.) Builders, realtors, architects and others in WNC's construction industry may order multiple copies. This newest edition is also available at the new Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center on Montford Avenue.
