Target your search to architectural illustrators that specialize in what you need, whether it involves contemporary or classic designs for both commercial and residential use, incorporating such things as a metal building, steel building, sustainable projects, modern plans, landscape design, interior design, church buildings, architectural sculptures, floor plans, home improvements, local projects, and tallest building projects. Make appointments with a few architectural illustrator firms or chief architects to get a feel for professionalism. Find out about licensing and experience, making sure the architectural illustrator you ultimately choose has a solid reputation in the architecture illustrating industry. Get client references if possible and check them out. Ask how long the illustrator has been in the architectural illustrator business and whether he or she has the proper experience in your project size and scope, whether it involves church buildings, commercial buildings or residential home improvements. Ask for photos and descriptions of previous architecture projects to give you an idea of the professional's work. Get timelines for your project structure in writing, as well as salary requirements and fees. Keep in mind that architectural illustrators can be needed by engineers, chief architects, building designers, and landscape design professionals, and may specialize in contemporary sustainable projects for eco-friendly projects. Find out the architectural illustrator's availability as well, making sure he or she has the long-term availability to work with you on design, plans and other processes. Research the architectural illustrator's background thoroughly to check for safety records, past jobs, and references. Ask whether the firm is part of a local, national or international firm. Before choosing an architectural illustrator, keep in mind the professional's availability, location, salary requirements, reputation, licensing and education, and previous experience.
