Can my architect help me understand how long my building project will take?

Yes, we, as architects, can help you to understand how long your building project is likely to take. We know that this is an important part of planning a building project, as it will help you to set realistic expectations and manage your build with far less stress.
Here are some ways that an architect can help you to figure out the timeline of your building project:
Is your idea feasible?
As an initial stage in the building project, we can help you to create a feasibility study that will determine the scope of the project and identify any potential challenges that may impact the process further down the line.
Develop an estimated timeline
Once the brief is defined for the building project, we will work with you to develop a project timeline that outlines the different phases of the project and how long each phase will take.
Coordinate with contractors and other professionals
In the building project, we can help connect you with contractors, engineers and any other parties needed for the project, making for a more seamless process where everyone involved can work together efficiently to the same schedule.
Planning ahead
Delays in the building project can arise from not ordering things in time which might have long lead times. By carefully monitoring the project and planning ahead, we will make sure things are ordered in time so they are on site when needed.
Manage changes and unforeseen delays
In your building project, we can help guide you through any possible changes and delays that may unexpectedly arise, ensuring that the timeline is tweaked as needed and that the project stays on track. If you would like to make changes along the way, the architect will advise you on the impact of those changes on the timeline (and cost!).
Monitor progress
Throughout the building project, we will be with you every step of the way, monitoring progress and providing updates on the timeline, helping you to stay informed about the status of the project and any potential issues that may come up.
We want to take any potential stress out of the journey. We have the people, project management, and planning skills to help ensure that your building project will not only stick to schedule and budget but become a more enjoyable experience.
