The choice of a designer is very important, so it is worth spending a few extra hours looking for the right person who will meet our expectations.
The person you will work with when designing your house should be communicative. She should offer you the most convenient solutions.
There will be lots of questions, so conversations, meetings and consultations will be on the agenda.

A designer can be an architect, as long as he or she has the appropriate qualifications.
It is worth being aware that the designer is one of several people who work on the construction of your home. Often, the architect works with a constructor who calculates the loads and
selects appropriate materials and cooperates with designers of sanitary, electrical and sewage installations. Communication between individuals is important. It may happen that after agreeing something with the designer, the constructor will calculate it and accept it, but the cost of doing so will be very high. Ultimately, the idea will be rejected because it will exceed the budget. Imagine this situation happening several times.
How will this affect the entire process?
You turn to an expert and everything is corrected over and over again, which only wastes time and a lot of money. Many people or investors sometimes make various changes during construction, e.g. raising the knee wall, because it provides additional space.
The question is, why did you suddenly decide that you needed more space?
This is one of the examples of failure to precisely determine needs or a change in life situation, e.g. giving birth to a child.

Before going to a designer, it's worth asking yourself some questions:

• What practical utility do we expect?
• What do we want to pay attention to?
• What are your plans for the future?
• What will each room be used for?
• Where's the dressing room?
• Do you want an open or closed kitchen?
• Bathroom with toilet?
• Where will the entrance to the house be?
• Where are the garbage bins?
• Where will you pack your car?
• What about guests, where will they park?
• How do you want to place the building in relation to the cardinal directions?

You can already see that there are a lot of questions. It is worth preparing a list of such questions. Are your expectations realistic and will they exceed your budget?
The proverb says: "Rome wasn't built in a day." As you might have guessed, the house design is created gradually.
It is important to establish your own action plan. First, you need to get used to different opinions about building a house. Write down your fears, expectations and financial possibilities. In short, it's what you can afford.

You can use two methods.
First, you discuss everything in advance and a project is created based on the findings.
The second step is to give an example project and modify it together.
Regardless of whether you choose the first or second solution, it is important that it is your choice.

How to find a designer?
As in the case of a construction manager, it is best to find someone who works locally or has already cooperated in a given region. Knowledge and knowledge about the local development plan, development conditions and deadlines for settling official matters influence the entire process, significantly accelerating implementation.

The most important questions:

• Will my budget be taken into account when designing.
  Remember that at the design stage it is easiest to save in places where it is possible.
• What will communication with other contractors be like? How will the project be created?
  Will you contact them yourself and will there be a fee?
• What will the construction project include? Does the price include the detailed design of the sanitary and electrical installations and connections?
• What about the facade design? It's worth knowing what your house will look like from the outside.
• What is included in the project price? What is charged extra?
• Is the estimate already included in the price?
• Kto zaprojektuje instalacje elektryczną, sanitarną?
• Do you provide a list of materials and substitutes?
• Can you send me your completed projects?
• Ask for contact details of people the architect worked with.
