As I write before that if this is your first time construction experience then you should consult your experienced friends, relatives and your neighbors etc. They will give you the best suggestion from their experience. First of all list all the known and unknown architects of surrounding area. Start enquiring there projects.

Secondly look if they have any license or authorization. Best thing will help you choosing an architect is references from your friends, relative etc.

You should choose at least three architects from your list professional and look for there previous projects and performances. 

After you shortlist a number of architect you should personally meet every architect and discuss about his firm, projects and fees etc. In this way you can judge his/her way of talking, coordination, working style and all these conversation will help for the final judgment.

After selecting the architect look for all the agreement should be in written with both you to avoid any legal process. Try to be frank with architect. Let him know what exactly you want and what you are expecting from his side.
