If issues arise?
The most critical aspects to consider when engaging the services of an architect relate to effective
communication. Be honest with your architect and if you are unhappy with the way things are
progressing, be open about these concerns. Architects take pride in providing their best possible
service and the problems you experience may be resolved through discussion or negotiation.
If discussions do not adequately resolve the matter, you may need to adopt a mediation or arbitration
procedure. The South African Institute of Architects (SAIA) and SAIA Regions will be able to put you in
contact with appropriate professionals who provide services in this regard.
