This document provides information about a study examining public perceptions of architect-designed homes and the services architects offer. The study aims to compare perceptions of architects to large home building companies. Responses to an online survey about perceptions of architects and their houses will be anonymously compiled and securely stored for up to two years for a written report guiding recommendations on engaging architects for residential projects. The survey has received ethics approval and results may be published in scholarly journals.

PARTICIPANT INFORMATION SHEET FOR A STUDY OF GREAT EXPECTATIONS
Researcher: Brett Nicholas, School of Architecture, Victoria University of Wellington
I am a Masters student in Architecture at Victoria University of Wellington. As part of this degree I am undertaking a research project leading to a thesis. The research I am undertaking is to examine the public perception of architect designed homes and the services offered by architects prior to engagement of their services. Comparisons will also be made against participants perceptions of the services offered by large home building companies acting in competition to architects. Responses will form the basis of my research project and will be put into a written report. The information will be kept for up to two years securely in order to be compiled and used to indicate perception of architects and architect designed homes to guide recommendations to address architect engagement in the residential sector. The research will involve you answering a series of questions online to establish perceptions of the services offered by architects and architect designed houses. The research will be undertaking in a single stage and will remain anonymous throughout. It will not be possible for you to be identified personally. All material collected will be anonymous. The thesis will be submitted for marking to the School of Architecture and deposited in the University Library and made available online. It is possible that one or more articles may be submitted for publication in scholarly journals. This survey has been approved by the Victoria University of Wellington Human Ethics Committee (0000021836). A summary of the results will be put up on buildmyhome.co.nz website when available. If you have any further questions or would like to receive further information about the project, please contact me at [email protected] or my supervisor Guy Marriage, [email protected], at the School of Architecture at Victoria University.
