"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

In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.

A floor plan is a less detailed illustration showing a building or room's layout from above, including elements like windows, doors, walls, and fixtures. It offers a simplified view for homeowners. In contrast, a blueprint is a more detailed, to-scale architectural drawing that includes all parts of the building plans, such as structural elements, construction details, and utility schematics. While a floor plan can be a type of view within a blueprint, the complete blueprint contains all the necessary details to turn the plan into a reality.

Yes, you can finance cottage construction through several options. Construction loans provide funds in stages as work progresses, while home equity loans or lines of credit are available if you have existing property. Some lenders offer a combined construction and permanent mortgage. Always review loan terms and payment milestones before committing.

Greek Revival and Federal architecture are quite similar in that they focus on symmetry and a blend of utilitarianism and opulence, but they differ in a few key areas. First, Federal architecture tends to include a brick facade, whereas Greek Revival homes more often have stucco siding, much like you’d find in Mediterranean houses. Greek Revival homes also tend to be a bit more ornate, with columns as decor, and more decorative and formal porticos.

Start by researching local contractors with experience in cottage construction. Ask for references, check licensing and insurance, and review completed projects. Compare multiple bids, making sure each includes the same scope of work. A good contractor will communicate clearly, provide a detailed contract, and ensure all work meets code and safety standards.
