Be Honest<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Be honest with your Architect, you do not need to tell a lower budget than what you really have. Architects will make the best they can with the budget you have. If you have a realistic budget (see <a href=\"http:\/\/isabelbarrosarchitects.ie\/blog\/the-secret-guide-to-deal-with-architects-take-4\/\">Take 4<\/a>) and you decide to reduce this so the Architect &#8220;does not spend it all&#8221;, you are fooling yourself and this is likely to have a pretty big impact on the overall design of your project.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/isabelbarrosarchitects.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Take-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2280\" src=\"http:\/\/isabelbarrosarchitects.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Take-5.jpg\" alt=\"Take 5\" width=\"600\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/isabelbarrosarchitects.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Take-5.jpg 600w, https:\/\/isabelbarrosarchitects.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/Take-5-300x132.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hot tip<\/strong>: Architects do not spend your money, you are the one spending the money for your own interest, your Architect will only guide you through the best way of spending this money.
