"remodeled my wall way bathroom shower. Bill is very polite gentleman, answered all my questions and concerns with honesty. His crew and project manager Jeff kept us up to date with timeline, were respectful of my home, cleaned up after themselves after each project, and always made sure I was included every step of the way. I plan on hiring Terrell developed for my next project. Would highly recommend Bill for any home remodeling projects."

"My wife and I spoke with several Architects about our dreams of a home remodel. All we got were excuses as why their firms could not do the job. Then we called Edmir at E-Project. From our sketches and photos to CADD drawings and building permits hand delivered on schedule, our project became a reality. The city home inspector asked "who did your plans?' as he flipped back to page one to find Edmir's AIA stamp, obviously impressed. This review is our way of thanking the E-Project team for turning a potentially stressful time at our home into progress and smiles."

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

The various types of architects can be broken down into eight distinct categories, but there can be specific specialties within each of them. Most homeowners will work with a residential, restoration, green, interior, landscape, or retrofit architect for projects. There are also lighting and commercial architects whose work is geared more toward large spaces and businesses.

You can draw your own house plans using three-dimensional modeling software, but in most cases, you’ll need an architect to draw up the final plans. Architects understand local building regulations and requirements, so their plans will be necessary for getting permits approved, and they’ll also ensure your home is structurally sound. DIY house plans can be a good place to start to help visualize your project, but you should always defer to a professional before trying to proceed with the project.

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. 

The best way to start designing a house is to know what you want before designing. Making a list of your biggest priorities in a home will help. Designing a house without an idea of what you need or want in a home will lead to many trials and errors that could make it harder to figure out what you need in your design.

It is technically possible to draw your own blueprints, but the process is extremely involved and really demands help from an expert. A professional architect has an understanding of design elements, interior design, the functionality of different rooms in a home, and how everything from furniture, outlets, and light switches should be laid out to serve you and your family best. Hiring an architect for blueprints can get expensive, but it’s the most responsible way to begin a new construction project. If you’re keen on DIYing, you could consider starting the process and then having a professional take over.
