[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here, just to bust into this discussion a bit - we're getting ready to start interviewing folks (DB firms and architects) on our major addition, and I have no idea what kinds of questions to ask.  Does anyone have suggestions for a place to start a conversation/interview?[/quote]

For contractors and DB firms: How many jobs do you do a year? What size jobs (some firms do a mix of kitchens and baths and major jobs in order to round out their schedule)? How many employees do you have, and what trades are employees versus subs? (A lot of contractors will have at least one trade in house, most have some if not all carpentry inhouse.) References, references, and more references. Copy of insurance certificate (you shouldn't have to ask for this, it should be given to you up front)

Architects: Typical approach (full service or fee for service)? Typical project budget? Design philosophy (e.g. environmental, traditional, modern, etc.) References references references. [/quote]
