Answer is simple, to design some buildings which can pick up your reputation greatly. How to make the buildings famous? The famous must be greatly functional, unique, special with new style. The building should hook up the people who visits.

So how could a building like this come out? Actually, one building is a work which need to put the architect, contractor, builder and supplier together. The building will go nowhere if one of which have problem.

But architect is the Key. He can pick up which kind of material the building can use.

For a certain project, the architect need to answer a question, how to design the building to be the best with a cost limitation.

Provided that the abilities of architects are same(one architect is not much better or worse than others). the materials for the building might be the biggest working area for the architect to work on.

An architect need to pick up the doors, windows, the ceilings, the lightings, the floor tile, the wall covering, the solid surfaces, the custom furnitures, the exterior wall on the building. What the people can see is what can improve the architect reputation.

So the problem turns to one issue how to find a good material with low cost.

Take an example, architects was supposed to pick up a wood mantel for a fireplace at cost of $1500. Do some research and find a company who can make marble mantel in the same price. You can find many of these company. For example, http://www.evanshomeluxuries.com in Boston, New england area. There, some mantel is about the same price.

Another example, for a entrance wood door, some times the price runs to $8000. If you use a cooper door, brass door, bronze door with the same price, definitely it will make the building a better reputation.

Use the granite tile to substitute the ceramic tile. A lot of suppliers can do that.

Use the wrought iron fence to substitute aluminum fences. Many.

You can find it.

It is the architect home work to do the research about all the material which will be used on the building. Do not point on the contracts do your homework if you want to be famous and make your money.

Architects are busy. I know some of architect company begins to hire buyer to do the investigation work about the architect material. This will be a fashion.
