We are a little bit in the same boat with our architect. The whole experience has been somewhat underwhelming but that could just be because they are so busy these days and really dont need to worry too much about drumming up business?
The underwhelming part is the design itself. We gave them a brief on what we wanted, including diagrams, and they have literally just gone by the stuff we gave them. I had to write back to them to ask them to use some judgement and incorporate some of their own ideas in to our design (things like missing skylights and extending the roof over the entrance for extra cover etc).
But yeah, will see what they come back with after our suggested updates otherwise I guess we will change architects and go from there.
