I believe that good design is not just for the privileged class in America. For the last fifteen years, it has been my goal to deliver quality design services at an affordable price to "the average American family."\n\nWith offices in Atlanta and Manchester, I introduced the concept of portability in architectural design by bringing architecture to the kitchen table in your home. I became known as the "affordable-portable architect".\n\nWe specialize in residential architecture and small commercial project design. \n\nTo prevent costly and unnecessary misunderstandings, we provides our clients with full 3D services at affordable prices. We differ from most architects by engaging our clients in the actual design process. Our interactive design approach versus the standard reactive design approach gives our customer a greater sense of satisfaction and understanding of their project.\n\nWith our state-of-the-art object-oriented design software, 24 hour turnaround is available on some small projects.\n\nEach project varies in level of complexity and difficulty. We base our fees on those two criteria only. We will match any reasonable fee.\n\nContrary to conventional wisdom, the architect's fee represents a very small fraction of the total cost of your housing cost.\n\nThere is also substantial evidence that shows that a good set of architectural plans improves the overall quality of the project and usually results in a lower bid from the contractor. The contractor usually adds cost to the project to cover the unknown.\n\nWithout a set of drawings, "everything is an unknown".\n\nIf you own land and can not afford the upfront cost of an architect, call us and we may consider being your partner with a project equity position.

Architects questions, answered by experts

In most cases, yes, hiring a draftsperson will be more affordable than the cost of hiring an architect. However, it’s important to note that the reason is because these professionals provide different services. Draftspersons are more affordable because they do more general mock-ups that help align your contractors with your vision for your home renovation project. An architect will provide more detailed drawings that include technical specifications, structural considerations, and even mechanical components, like electrical box and HVAC ductwork placement.

While towers and turrets are frequently present in Queen Anne-style houses, these design elements are not necessary for a home to be considered a Queen Anne. Turrets and towers add visual interest and unique interior spaces, but many Queen Anne homes do not contain these features. 

When you think about Arts and Crafts-style homes, you probably think of a Craftsman house or a bungalow-style Craftsman. Craftsman is one of the major styles developed during the Arts and Crafts movement, but it checks most boxes. Craftsman houses have low-pitched roofs, exposed rafters, open floor plans, and stunning wood finish.

In most cases, you should hire a draftsperson for simpler projects like minor home renovations, and you should hire an architect for new construction, structural changes to your home, and large home add-ons. If you’re working on a larger project that demands an architect or structural engineer, your professional will often have a draftsperson on staff and include their services in your estimate.

Check reviews, compare quotes, and verify licensing. Ensure the builder has experience with modular construction.
