Regardless of what your project is, the best place to start is often with a pencil and paper. You don’t have to be an artist, but even a “horrible” sketch of your intended project can be very useful. At a minimum, you’ll want to at least write down a list of the things you wish to accomplish. If you have a digital camera or a camera phone, take some photos of the existing site; they speak volumes; better yet, take video. As they say, “a picture is worth a thousand words, and a video is worth a thousand pictures.”
Ideally, you want to find an architect who is responsive and has a reasonable workload such that they can provide timely service. Set up an appointment to meet with a few architects in your area. Ask and they’ll usually tell you how busy they are and how soon they will be able to spend time on your project. You’ll want to choose an architect that is pragmatic and to the point but will still spend some time with you making sure your vision is well represented. You don’t want to waste any time, but you should never feel rushed. Communication is key.
