One thing to also consider is how to screen your architect. A great question I wish someone told me to ask is "how many projects have your worked on in the past 3 years that did not go to construction?". This shows how realistic and/or hospitable to customers the architect is.

Thanks for adding that question as it is very relevant and I'm sure if the architect is reluctant to answer it might signal a red flag.
