What should you expect when starting a custom residential project with architects? In this episode, host Curtis Lawson explores that question with award-winning architects Eric Hughes and Heather Rowell, Founders of HR Design Dept (Architecture Studio). Their track record of consistently delivering high-end custom residential homes to their clients is one of the many reasons we asked them to join the show. They share some truly wonderful advice that's invaluable to anyone that's planning on working with an architectural designer or an architect.

They share in their collaborative design process, how to understand and communicate with your designer, setting expectations around timelines and details, how to approach the interview process when selecting an architect, the tricky nature of builder bids and budgets, and making the most of the process and skills your chosen designer has to offer.

A key takeaway - custom residential architecture requires significant time and collaboration - it's not a quick in-and-out process and we want to help you to understand and navigate the process and set the stage for a successful project!
