What to consider
Discuss your brief, site and budget openly. Ask who will do the work, what each stage produces and how coordination is organised. Request clear explanations of exclusions and construction-stage involvement rather than assuming them from photographs.

Your next step
Compare written proposals and the clarity of communication. If you view project examples, distinguish built work from proposals and ongoing construction. Choose a team whose approach and defined responsibilities suit your needs, with expectations recorded before the commission begins.
