Why Hire an Architect Hiring an architect for your building project is like having a skilled guide on a hike. They help navigate the tricky terrain, ensuring you reach your destination smoothly. Architects bring creative ideas, make sure everything fits together nicely, and ensure your building meets all the rules. They're like the magic ingredient that turns a simple idea into a stunning reality. So, why hire an architect? Because they make sure your building isn't just good – it's great!

CA from the design team for any building is crucial to final success 👍🏼

Are you still hiring architects based on the lowest price? That's a common mistake. Instead, let's talk about value. Clients often create a selection matrix, score everyone similarly, and select the lowest offer. However, the lowest price does not always indicate the best direction or provide the best value. When you're looking to hire an architect, ask yourself what they can do for your brand, reputation, and future. Don't just hire an architect, hire a partner. At Berry Architecture, we become that partner with you, and our success is fully dependent on your success. We are architecture plus more! Remember, while price is important, value is more important. Don't focus on what has been completed in the past, but on what they can and will do for you. Start hiring for the future, and engage with an architect who will become your true project partner. #architecture #valueoverprice #partnership #futurehiring #berryarchitecture #gooddesignmatters #reddeer #cranbrook #Kelowna #environmentaldesign #workingtogether

My Approach to Hiring Architects: Creativity, Originality, and Commitment I believe hiring the right architects is critical to success in our field. Different roles—whether junior or senior—come with their own set of expectations, and I’ve developed a clear approach to evaluating the qualities that matter most. Junior Architects: The Power of a Well-Crafted Portfolio When it comes to junior architects, the portfolio speaks volumes. I look at how well the material is structured and presented. The flow of lines and the overall layout reflect a candidate’s ability to think creatively and communicate ideas clearly. Portfolios filled with too many rough concepts can be overwhelming. I prefer to see one strong, well-developed idea that demonstrates focus and attention to detail. Senior Architects: Experience and Stability Matter For senior positions, experience is crucial. Stability in a candidate’s career shows commitment and respect for the employer. Those who stay with a company for a few years are more likely to make a meaningful impact than those constantly moving between roles. Originality Over Imitation Architecture is about invention, not replication. I value candidates who show a clear creative process and produce unique ideas rather than those who simply recreate what’s already been done. I look for individuals with a distinct voice and perspective. Motivation and Alignment Understanding what drives an architect is vital. I always ask about their motivation, and if their vision aligns with mine, it’s a good sign we’ll work well together. That’s why I invest significant time in interviews – to ensure we’re the right fit for each other.

I’m building a team! 🤍Project Manager/Architectural Designer You are in Orlando, and love you where you live. You are in the construction/ architecture industry, but deep down you know there has to be more. You want to be able to share your ideas with your team without feeling like it isn’t welcomed. The projects you are part of don’t allow your creative side to come out. You’ve scrolled job boards, asked around, and feel slightly jaded because you’ve heard it all. I’ve been there, but I’m here to tell you NOT all companies are the same. I’ve built a team alongside leaders who are passionate about their team and the difference they are making in our community. The team have worked for great/reputable companies, but they have never felt more at home. We want you to join us. If you have an architecture degree/construction management degree and the idea of a variety of design build projects & new developments excite you, let’s connect! I’m only one message away, what could it hurt? 🙃the worst case scenario is we have a few laughs, the best case scenario you wish you would have known sooner. #constructioncareers #architecturaldesign #designbuild #orlandofl #constructionrecruitment

It is important to know who you are appointing. If they are not a genuine architect, you need to know. Genuine architects are: qualified, trained, covered by insurance, accountable to a governing body, and experienced in the whole construction process, not just one part. Appointing someone who is trained and experienced in the whole process from brief, to design, to construction, means they feed the knowledge gained by all those stages into every brief they write, to every design they do, and every design they get constructed.

Architects calculate their fees in different ways. This is commonly referred to as the architect's fee structure. Architects may charge a percentage of the construction costs, a fixed rate, or an hourly rate.
