Most people hiring an architect are doing it for the first time. That means walking into a process where the vocabulary is unfamiliar, the fee structures are not comparable at a glance, and it is genuinely unclear what the law requires versus what is simply good practice.
This guide covers what to ask, how licensing works in Pennsylvania, and how to find out whether your project actually needs an architect at all. It is written for homeowners in the Pittsburgh area specifically, because in this state the answer depends heavily on where you live.
