samok kau sa eyes ang dako nga balay nga bati ang design. eyesore kaau, especially if sa subdivision nga nindot ang mga houses and paved and tree-lined ang roads.
naa sad koy mga friends na nagpa renovate na nagpa architect jud. nice kaau ang result. mura jud model homes ilang balay. nindot ang materyales and coordinated kaau ang designs. during the process, na shock jud sila kay they spent more than they were expecting.
for example, they had planned to buy this tile, but the architect suggested another one that's more angayan and sturdy. of course, more expensive too. mao na nidako nuon ang budget.
but in the end, dili sad ka magmahay kay nindot jud kaau ang result sa balay and you'll be so proud when people compliment you.
regarding why hire an architect? it's simply because an architect is a professional. he spent years studying the course and gets paid for his knowledge.
it's the same as going to any other professional. you can do it yourself or you can pay more for quality.
why go to a doctor when you're sick when you can go to a manghihilot?
why send your kids to school when you can teach them yourself?
why hire a caterer for your wedding when you can cook the food yourself?
getting a professional is all about paying someone for their expertise. there will always be an unscrupulous architect, doctor, teacher, caterer... it's up to you to do your research and make sure that everything in the contract is black and white.
pero kung ako magpa tukod na og house, i'll make sure i have the budget for an architect kay lahi jud.
