Why hire an architect?
- An architect is a professional, who thanks to his training and skills, can create or reshape a
tailored space.
- His role is to guarantee a service, to support you from design to project execution.
- The architect makes sure that the final result is in line with technical, budgetary and
administrative constraints (going beyond purely aesthetic details).
- He supervises the works and makes sure the appropriate materials are used according
to requirements and specifications.
- He coordinates the tasks of all the craftsmen working on the project.
- An architect's opinion is objective, he is completely independent from the companies that
will execute your project.
- Having an architect from the design phase and mostly during execution is a guarantee of
a quality architectural and technical product, supported by a useful and precise organisation.

be extended? Analyse the soil? Possible connection of equipment on existing installations?
