There are things that can be done to help with this difficulty and one of the first things is to find a good architect.

The first thing a homeowner should do is to look at the website of the American Institute of Architects. From here they can search for an architect by the zip code of the new home’s address.

If a builder has already been hired, it’s helpful to ask for referrals. Referrals can also be…
