Risks

  • London/international practice; local permitting, supervision, responsiveness, and fee structure need careful verification.
  • Only one directly relevant Paros project identified.
  • May be less suited to fast hands-on developer iteration unless paired with a local architect/PM.

Questions To Ask

  • Keep in high shortlist if the project owner wants an international-design signal.
  • Ask who would handle local permits, site supervision, and day-to-day Paros coordination.
  • What exact role did your office have on the referenced projects?
  • Which projects are built, visitable, and supported by client or contractor references?
  • Who handles permits, construction documents, site supervision, and contractor coordination?
