We were on our way towards getting our finalized architectural plans but a series of "excuses" and "complications" compiled by a lack of respect and unproffesionalism (is that a word?) has led us to kind of square one.
Amy's Guide to Hiring an Architect: useful points and questions if you or anyone you know is planning on hiring an architect. (no offense to those of you good architects out there)
- Are you easy to get a hold of? How long will it take you to return phone calls?
- Do you own and make use of a cellphone? Do you have an email address that you check on a daily basis and reply to in a timely manner?
- Do you have now or have you had recently and debilitating colds, coughs, flus or anything of the like?
- Are you restricted from working on a regular basis by an ongoing medical condition such as muscle cramping and/or neck pain?
- Do you make excuses for not doing work by saying your doctor told you not to?
- Do you make appointments and then cancel them without any reason given, then not return a call or show up for your rescheduled appointment?
- If you do contract with other builders, do you overbook yourself so that work that was accepted and given a priority is suddenly put aside and there is no way in heck that you can get all the work that you have taken on done in time?

I would think with the housing bust that all kinds of highly-qualified, respectable architects would be at the off-ramp of the expressway with signs reading "will sketch for food" or "will dimension for donuts".
