Nice shots! Thanks for posting.
Especially for interior architectural shots, check for the need to correct for barrel distortion and vertical perspective correction. Note the slight curvature in the beam and slightly sloping verticals in photo 2.

I like the reflections in photo 3, but if I were to post this for a real estate sale (I know this was not your intent), I would crop off the bottom up to just below the first colored line in the marble floor.

Thano you for the feedback I do agree.

I need to set up a profile in Adobe Camera Raw for the Rokinon 14 to make it a little easier

Yes, nice shots. In the first one, I feel the plants in front are too large in scale to the building. Try looking at various angles and walking around and see how the composition and building angle really changes... especially if you are using a fixed lens like the 14mm. Be deliberate in the time of day you choose to shoot exterior to take advantage of the fall of light and shadow.

The second is well exposed, not sure why the right side room has no up lighting... a little unbalanced. If there are no up lights, maybe a bounce flash to even the brightness across the whole. For an interior, you have to choose your perspective so it is obvious. You are almost at one point (parallel to camera) perspective, but off enough to push it towards a snap shot. The distortion that Mallen mentioned doesn't help make it more professional. If you are shooting for an architect or builder, the palm framing the right side is a distraction. If for a designer, not so much.

That point also holds true with the third shot. If you are shooting for architects, builders or designers, move the frame higher to include more ceiling detail. You don't need that much of the front floor panel. However, for a flooring company, it's perfect. A bit of light to give texture to the far wall and draw the viewer in (like in the second photo)... maybe a pop of flash in the back left room to add depth and texture.

#2 & #3 are quite nice. Good clarity, lighting and depth. I do not care for the distraction of the plant in the foreground on #3.

I wouldn't consider #1 an architectural image. 2 and 3 are impossible due to lighting. Try making detailed shots rather than trying to compose so much in a single image. Architectural images are all about composition and lighting. Keep after it and you will really enjoy it when you get it. Good luck.

Your exterior image is quite clean, lending itself to cropping however the client desires.
I do like both of your interior photos, but a bit too sterile for brochure images: no people.
What is "GCs website"? It is helpful to explain most abbreviations.
