In the last seven years, I've designed residential, commercial, multi-family, retail, and townhouse projects, as well as space planning projects. This diverse experience has prepared me to tackle a wide range of projects successfully. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, and I've had the opportunity to study, work, and travel in South America, Southeast Asia, and Europe. This has given me a strong cultural and architectural background that informs my work. Additionally, I have extensive experience in construction.

"Mario is smart, talented and extremely easy to work with. Highly recommend him."

Many people have a difficult time finding a single company that provides full-service general contracting & landscaping solutions which can feel overwhelming. Our proven process will give you the confidence to finally upgrade your home's aesthetics knowing that your property is in good hands.

We understand home upgrade projects can be intimidating which is why we've been helping business owners just like you for over 35 years. Ask us about our military and senior discounts

"320 Property Builders did a great job in providing me a quote for my renovation project. They were on-time, professional and their estimate was very competitive with others. I would certainly recommend them to anyone in need of renovations to their home!"

I specialize in custom residential home design. I have worked for a high level custom residential architecture firm for 3+ years now. In my time there I have executed projects from conceptual napkin sketch to construction level drawing sets to construction administration on the job site during construction. I have seen more than 50 projects complete from start to finish. I’ve been mentored to have a keen eye for the small details in home design that really set your home out from basic. I work best with good coaching from the client. I am designing a space for you and not my piers. At the end of the day, if you are happy, then I am happy. For reference, I have designed and managed jobs ranging from a small renovation of 100k to 10million+ mountain homes and everything in between. I will not stop working until you are happy. I can assist with basic plans all the way to photorealistic live renders. I am incredibly efficient with my software which allows me to deliver on time projects. I hope I can assist you with your dream space!

FAQs for architectural service projects in Charlotte, NC

While you might think that architects only draw blueprints for buildings, they are much more involved in the overall construction process than you might realize. While they aren’t the ones swinging the hammers, architects do the following: 

  • Communicate with the homeowner on the project request, including assistance when exact plans aren’t known

  • Develop computer-aided models and blueprints of the requested design

  • Ensure that the design incorporates form, function, and safety features

  • Provide the contractor with the agreed-upon design

  • Supervise the general contractor and any subcontractors throughout the project

  • Communicate any needed changes to the project with the homeowner and draw new plans accordingly

Before settling on and hiring an architect, it’s beneficial to you as a homeowner to ask some questions to familiarize yourself with their work. After all, you wouldn’t want to spend time and resources on a professional that doesn’t specialize in exactly what you want in a house. Some questions to ask your architect include: 

  • How do you charge for services? Is it on an hourly basis, based on square footage, or based on project size?

  • How do we work together to stay on budget for this project?

  • Do you anticipate any future challenges with this project? How are these communicated?

  • What is your project management style? If you are not handling the day-to-day details, who is my point of contact? 

  • Can I see previous similar projects that you’ve completed?

  • Do you have any specialty experience, like working on historic homes or using sustainable building materials?

The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200

The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour. 

After you’ve spoken with your contractor and agreed on a project, they’ll draw up blueprints, or plans, that the construction crew will use. The blueprint process can take between four and six months to complete. While this can seem like a long time, remember that the architect must communicate with your municipality to determine codes, communicate with you as the homeowner with any changes or adjustments, and coordinate with the construction crew. 

If you simply remodel your home or add an addition, the time to draw up the plans will be shorter since fewer permits and surveys are required. Even still, it’s best to plan for a few months for the architect to complete this part of the project.

Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
