To carry out renovation or construction work, the architect is often the indispensable partner for a serene project. His intervention is of a very precious help even if it is not necessarily obligatory for all your housing projects. What is his role? When should you contact him? What are the points to control? Here are our tips to help you find your way.

What is the role of the architect?

Make an inventory

In the specific case of a renovation, the architect carries out a diagnosis on all the aspects of the housing that they are of order:

·         Structural: walls, roof, carpentry, etc.

·         Technical: electricity, ventilation, plumbing, heating system, etc.

·         Functional: layout of spaces, interior circulation, optimization of natural light, etc.

This inventory is accompanied by recommendations for works.

Well designed

The architect designs your project for renovation, extension or custom construction. He ensures the layout and optimization of spaces on technical, functional and aesthetic criteria. He can solicit technical experts if needed, such as the structural engineer. The Townhouse architects also take care of the choice of equipment and materials.

Select professionals for your work

The architect proposes companies for the realization of the planned works. He is in charge of:

·         Organize the consultation of companies

·         Analyze and negotiate quotes

·         Check the qualifications and insurance of companies

Follow the construction site

Depending on your needs, the architect can take charge of the site management. More concretely, he will follow it until the end by taking care of:

·         Coordinate, be the intermediary of the various actors and plan the interventions of the companies and craftsmen

·         Ensure that the work is in accordance with the project you have validated

·         Check that the schedule is well respected

·         Propose the application of penalties of delay, if deadlines are not respected

 Assist you during the "reception" of the works

The Townhouse designers accompany you at the end of the project. This important step is the starting point of the guarantee periods for the good functioning of equipment (biennial guarantee) and decennial.
