The onset of the community quarantine lockdowns here in Manila has mostly led us to reorganizing or even restructuring our homes. It’s perfectly understandable since our home is now where we do everything since the shift to work-from-home setup and online schooling.
With various posts from people on Facebook and Instagram showcasing their house’s before and after photos, I’m slowly starting to see the benefits of working with an architect and why it’s very important for these professionals to oversee anything related to home renovation, maybe it be an interior or exterior project.
1. Efficiency in Planning and Designing Spaces
Architects lay out your spaces in the most efficient and cost-effective way based on your needs, wants, and budget. They’re also good at working with you to create a floor plan that just makes sense for you, your family, and your lifestyle.
2. Creative despite Problems Foreseen
Architects are creative problem solvers at heart. An architect’s creative input can elevate your design from just a simple “okay” to something really special! They’re also really good at seeing potential obstacles or challenges in your project even the ones that you never anticipated. With this insight, you can plan early for mitigating those issues. Oftentimes, architects come up with creative solutions that you may never have thought of.
3. Compliant with Laws and Codes
Architects like those over at APL Architects have intimate knowledge of working with the building, planning, zoning and other jurisdiction officials. Codes and laws are often complex documents and are difficult for those outside of the building industry to understand.
By working with an Architect, they ensure your project is code compliant and abides by local requirements and standards. Codes and laws for building and construction are made mainly for our safety and protection should natural disasters arise - safety is something that I believe each and everyone cannot compromise for the family’s security and for the hard-earned money that anyone will invest in for any structural project.
These are just some of the many reasons why it’s so important to hire an Architect for your home or commercial build projects. If you’re in Manila or nearby provinces and you’re looking for a professional and highly-experienced Architectural firm, check out APL Architects and learn more about them and the projects they’ve done over the years.
