How does invoicing/payment work for most Architect projects in Joplin?

Every project differs, but you should ask any architect for an estimate, before they do any work. In fact, ask for their general payment terms before any architectural design work is done.

If the job is large and going to take longer than a day, it's common practice for architects to request a down payment. Usually, this will be around 25% so they can commence work on your architect project.

If it's a quick job, you'll likely be given an invoice/bill when the job is complete. Then it's up to you and the architect to determine if you pay immediately or can send payment at a later date.

What should I check for once my Architect in Joplin has finished working?

Every architectural design project is going to have different results, but here are a few things to check for once any architectural design company has told you they've finished the job:

• Obviously you want to do a visual inspection. Even if you're unfamiliar with architectural design work, this gives you the opportunity to ask questions (even basic ones like, what did you do?).
• Ask the architect to describe what they did. Whether your architectural design project was a repair job or a building job, have them run you through what was done.
• Compare the description provided on your architectural design project estimate to the work completed. Did the professional do what was promised?
• Request that the architect do a follow-up visit to check on the work. Most professionals are willing to do this, especially if you ask them.
