What to look for when selecting an architect
We at Cuningham Group believe NIGA tribal members should look for an experienced design team capable of maximizing your investment. Architects should be considered based on their ability to assist in site evaluation and selection, developing viable master plan options, envisioning exciting environments and having a track record of delivering similar projects in a timely manner and in conformance with a client’s budget objectives.
