How to choose an architect in Punta Cana
By Joan Andrés Pérez Cedeño · Published
Relevant, verifiable work
Ask to see projects similar to yours in scale and type, and distinguish between built work, work in progress and visualisation. A good studio will tell you clearly which is which.
Scope in writing
Compare proposals by what they include: schematic design, construction drawings, engineering coordination, interiors, permit support, technical direction or supervision. Two fees are only comparable when they cover the same scope.
Technical coordination and local context
Ask how structure, MEP and landscaping are coordinated, and how climate, salt, site access and community or resort rules are handled. These answers say more than images.
Communication and references
If you live abroad, agree on language, reporting frequency, site visits and who decides what. Ask to speak with previous clients where possible and review the studio’s public profiles.
