Seven questions to ask an architect before signing
A good architect will not mind any of these questions. The answers tell you more than a portfolio does.
What a concept design actually contains
A concept design is not a pretty picture for a deck. It is the first version of the project you can verify, defend, and pay for with understanding.
How the building permit procedure actually runs
The procedure is more predictable than rumour suggests. It slips where inputs were not ready before filing.
Why analysis comes before ideation
At Tenet, concept design does not start with drawing, it starts when financial, legal, and spatial constraints are clear enough for ideas to matter.

Legalisation: what is realistic in the first step
The first step is establishing what physically exists, what is registered, and what can be evidenced.

Documentation is not overhead, it is the operational base of the project, and its only defence against forgetting.
Decision quality in building
Most of a project's cost is committed before the first wall, in assumptions that were never written down.
