FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an architect, or is a building designer enough?
For straightforward work a building designer may be sufficient and cheaper. Architect involvement adds value where the site is constrained, heritage or planning controls are complex, or design drives the outcome. Only a registered architect may use the title.
Can an architect manage the builder as well as the design?
Yes, and it is common. Construction administration means inspecting progress, certifying payment claims and managing variations under the contract. Confirm it is included in the fee rather than assumed.
Are the architects listed here verified?
Not automatically. Listings publish official business details. Licensing applies in this category, so confirm a licence on the NSW public register. A listing being live does not mean it has been verified: activation and verification are separate controls, and the verified label is only applied once the checks for that category are complete.
Do architects listed here cover all of St George?
Most cover the full St George corridor (Hurstville, Kogarah, Rockdale, Mortdale, Beverly Hills and Bexley and surrounds). Each profile lists the suburbs the professional actively works in — check before sending an enquiry.
