There are many architecture companies and studios in Tbilisi and across Georgia — and prices, timelines and quality vary sharply between them. The wrong choice is expensive: missed deadlines, a rejected permit, or a project that costs more to build than your budget. Here are 8 questions to ask before you sign a contract.
8 questions to ask an architecture company
1. Can you show me real buildings you've built or designed?
A portfolio should be made up of real projects — with an address, floor area and year — not just nice pictures taken from the internet.
2. Who will work on my project?
Find out whether you'll work directly with an architect or with a manager, and who prepares the structural part.
3. What does the price include — in writing?
Concept, working drawings, 3D visualisation, engineering parts, permit support — each stage should be listed separately in the offer.

4. Will you also help me get the building permit?
A project that can't be approved is effectively useless. A reliable company handles the approval process itself.
5. Who will do the structure, geology and geodesy?
When every part is in one team, the drawings match and you don't have to coordinate several contractors.
6. What timelines will you put in the contract?
Timelines and payment stages should be written into the contract, not just agreed verbally.
7. Will I see the house before it's built?
3D visualisation lets you make changes on the drawing — where it costs nothing — not on walls that are already built.
8. What do previous clients say?
Google reviews are the most reliable source: read the texts, not just the stars.
Red flags
- They name an exact price before learning about your plot and requirements.
- They refuse to sign a written contract.
- The portfolio has only visualisations, with no real buildings.
- They leave getting the permit "to you".
- The answer about timelines is always "we'll see".
