Advisory Services in Architecture and Construction

Did you know that even if you don't want to or can't have an architect overseeing your entire construction project, it is possible to have access to their services on a one-off basis to resolve specific issues? This is possible with architectural consultancy, a type of service offered by many architects.

Advisory Services in Architecture and Construction

Let's say you want to decorate your home to make it more cozy, functional and compatible with your style. What's more, you have some ideas, but you don't know how to put them into practice. That's where an architectural consultant comes in: helping you realize your wishes in the best possible way.

Have you found this service useful? Would you like to understand more about how it works? Be sure to read this article! We'll explain how the Visionary Architecture and Construction Consultancy service works.

What is Architecture Consulting?

Consultancy, in general, is a service in which a professional in a particular area gives their opinion, in other words, they analyze, determine diagnoses and indicate solutions based on the issues presented by the client. Architects, who are generally best known for creating projects, also have consultancy as one of their services.

Unlike complete projects, in which the professional accompanies the entire planning of a project, architectural consultancy is a quicker and more punctual service, i.e. it aims to meet more practical and specific needs. Not only does it not last long, but it is also much more affordable.

For example: if you want to buy land or property, the consultant will help you evaluate the options and help you make the right decision. If you want to change a room in your house or renovate the decor, the professional - with their experience and technical knowledge - will give you the guidance you need to turn your wish into reality.

What are the main types of consultancy?

Now that you know what architectural consultancy is, you've probably noticed that this service can be hired for different types of services, right?

Below, we present the main modalities and how they work.

Buying land

Buying a new plot of land is no easy task and can lead to insecurity and uncertainty, can it? But know that it is possible to have the help of a professional to make this investment in a more cautious, enlightened and secure way.

The architectural consultant helps with the choice of land based on the client's expectations, wishes and needs. Armed with this information, they analyze the land options presented by the buyer and identify all the advantages, disadvantages and possibilities offered by each one.

The help of a professional at this point is invaluable, as they can clearly see some aspects that could go unnoticed by the client, such as the size of the plot, the position of the sun, ventilation and the presence of very steep gradients - all of which have a significant impact on the design and construction.

Buying property

Another moment that can generate anxiety is choosing a property, and here the service of an architectural consultant is also very useful. As with buying land, the professional takes the client's expectations, desires and needs as a reference point and uses their technical knowledge to find the most suitable option.

The consultant highlights the positive and negative points of each property and identifies important factors for choosing, such as the state of the construction, problems with the facilities, the feasibility of renovations and their estimated value.

In other words, the professional points out which of the options has the greatest chance of achieving a result close to what the client wants. So if you're in doubt as to whether it's really worth buying a particular property, the help of an architectural consultant can be crucial.

Interior consultancy

Another interesting service is interior design consultancy, in which the professional helps the client decorate, modify or change one or more rooms in the home or office, for example.

As with the other services, the consultant starts by analyzing the location and the client's idea, and then makes suggestions and guidelines so that they can achieve the expected result, taking into account functionality, practicality, aesthetics and harmony in relation to the client's style, personality and desires.

The professional will answer all your questions, come up with creative ideas and suggest effective, cost-effective solutions. They work, for example, by suggesting the style of decoration, the furniture, the position of each piece of furniture, colors, textures, lighting, coverings and finishes - all with the aim of making the best use of each room.

How is the consultancy carried out?

The architectural consultant first identifies the client's idea, expectations and desires. They then gather as much information as possible about the land, the property or the rooms they plan to modify.

After analyzing the data, within a previously agreed timeframe, the professional delivers a report to the client with all the information, tips, guidelines and suggestions for the purchase, decoration or renovation.

In interior design consultancy, for example, this report can contain floor plans, 3D images, references for furniture, colors and textures, as well as lists of suppliers and service providers who partner with the company.

All this is usually done through visits and meetings with the client. But, especially in the case of interior design consultancy, the whole process can be carried out online - from the client sending in the plans, photos and other information to the final report. This makes the service even quicker and more practical, as well as enabling access to specialized professionals much more easily and without the need to find a compatible space in your schedule.

Architectural consultancy is the ideal solution for those who want to make specific changes to certain areas, or to help them buy the best plot of land or property.

Advice - which is practical, efficient and affordable - is the opportunity to use the professional's knowledge as a good guide to achieve your goals.
