Advice for house & Open Christchurch 15-16 May

#Post
1

Good day,

I have volunteered at Open Christchurch last weekend and it was great to see many people with enthusiasm in architecture. It was an awesome event and I was glad to see all amazing architecture and people.

There was something came up in my mind and I would like to provide some advice if anyone wants to buy a house and needs some advice from an architectural designer. From my experience of purchasing car in NZ, it is always good to hear from someone with experience in that field. This will not be as a builder's report but I can tell you from a designer's point of view.

Cheers,
Harang

What's an "architectural designer"?

Do you carry professional indemnity insurance?

A fancy name for a defunct architect?

No, not an architect.

No, they aren't. Although that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Not sure what a designer could offer that an experienced builder couldn't, in the way of advice. If you are buying a car, you get it appraised by a mechanic, not an industrial designer.
