Before you hire
Check any architect's license, in any state.
Only a licensed architect may use the title. Every state board keeps a public lookup. Pick the state where the project will be built, search the architect's name or license number, and confirm the license is active and in good standing and that the name and firm match the person you are hiring. The board can also tell you whether any discipline is on record.
