"I know quite certainly that I myself have no special talent; curiosity, obsession and dogged endurance, combined with self-criticism, have brought me to my ideas." Albert Einstein
"Obsession" can be defined as a focus on either quantity or quality. As an investor, would you prefer an architect obsessed with your project or numerous projects? Quality of course... so that's what an investor should look for. Someone obsessed with making the most of your property and budget.

With only three projects concurrently, the architect could possibly visit your project once a week. Added to the three projects is travel , and with multiple projects the architect most likely is looking at future work and has staff churning out plans that need review. These future jobs chew at the clock... eating at the most valuable asset your architect can bring to your project... his time.
To get the most from your architect's talent he has to possess "dogged endurance". The commitment of Time and thought... in a quest for excellence. Spending 90 to 95% of his time with other ventures does yours no good. How can it? His talent and focus is elsewhere.
Quality isn't a talent, it's a pursuit. 100-years of golf architecture history clearly shows the best courses have an architect taking control of construction on a daily basis.
