Whether you’re building a rental in Syokimau, a family home in Kisumu, or a commercial space in Eldoret—your architect is the heartbeat of your project. They turn your vision into blueprints, navigate county approvals, and ensure your build is safe, stylish, and cost-effective.
Here are five things to check before you book an architect in Kenya:
✅ 1. Are They Verified and Reviewed?
You’re trusting someone with your land, budget, and future. You need a verified professional—not just a flashy Instagram portfolio.
What to look for:
- ✅Verified badge on the Balozy App
- ✅Ratings and reviews from real clients
- ✅Clear service descriptions (residential, commercial, renovations, approvals)
- ✅Portfolio of past projects with location and scope
💡 On Balozy, every architect is background-checked and reviewed—so you book with confidence.
🧠 2. Do They Understand Your Vision and Budget?
A good architect listens first. They should tailor your design to your lifestyle, land, and financial plan.
Ask before booking:
- ✅Can you work within my budget and land size?
- ✅Do you offer 3D renders or walkthroughs?
- ✅Can you advise on materials, sustainability, or cost-saving layouts?
📍 3. Are They Local to Your County or Cluster?
Kenya’s building codes and approval processes vary. Booking someone familiar with your county means faster approvals and fewer delays.
Balozy Tip: Use the “Near Me” filter to find architects in Nairobi, Machakos, Eldoret, Kisumu, or wherever your project is.
💬 4. Do They Communicate Clearly and Professionally?
You want someone who confirms your booking, shares timelines, and updates you—not someone who disappears mid-project.
Look for:
- ✅Fast response time on the app
- ✅Transparent pricing and deliverables
- ✅Respectful, collaborative tone
🏘️ 5. Do They Offer Project Management or Contractor Coordination?
Design is just the beginning. A verified architect should help you navigate fundis, approvals, and site supervision.
Ask:
- ✅Do you offer site visits or contractor coordination?
- ✅Can you help with county approvals or NCA registration?
- ✅Do you provide BOQs or material schedules?
