"I had an addition I wanted for our home. We were required to have a survey and an engineer drawing to apply for the permit. I had a list of 10-15 local engineering companies given to me by the permitting office. Very few would return my call. several the rest said they only do commercial or that this was too small of a job and would cost more. It was taking months and I was frustrated and decided to try Angie’s. I am so pleased. I had a response that very day I inquired for the job. It was clear what was needed from me. Great communication and answered questions to help me get them what they needed. The project from start to finish was drafted within 3 weeks. It could have been done sooner but I was traveling and not able to check emails. Once I told them to text me to alert me of an email they did that. I would highly recommend them."

"I am writing this email expressing my utmost dissatisfaction with the service I received from using your contractor. I got hook up with your contractor through HomeAdvisor on Dec 10, 2018 for architectural drawing and permit. Your contractor Joshua Oehler with Arc One Associate repeated stated that I will get my drawing and permit within 3 weeks. This has been going on now for over 3 MONTHS!! Every time I call him asking for update he would tell me that he will sent my drawing over today but never received any calls at the end of the day. This happen 6 times already with his empty promises. His office unethical strategy to hook and bait their customers sicken me. I have had nothing but headache and frustration dealing with him and his office. Come to find out he lost all the informations I gave him about my store design 1.5 month since the date of signing the proposal. After that he never answers his phone or emails. I have to repeatedly go down to the office and complaints to his associate in order for them to even start the work on the drawing and this has been 2 month into. After receiving my drawing I asked him to submit the drawing for my permit and he stated that he will self-certification it and we will get it within a week. Again, more disappointment because it has been over a month and I have yet received the permit. Everyday that am not able to open according to my deadline is costing me ton of money."

"Good Installation but Terrible Customer Service, Bait switch price increasing Car not starting because they ran the battery dead during installation on my newer honda accord with new car battery Being lied to by Kendall the front desk assistant Being threatened by Eric the Owner of the company when I had a complaint I started off with a great experience with Dustin the General Manager over the phone. I was referred by the company doing the windshield replacement when they do the tint. He did a excellent job describing each tint package and ask me question to find the right package within my budget. I confirmed with him the package and that everything was included except for tax. I was satisfied and call back the next day. Dustin was not available and spoke to Kendall to confirm everything so on installation day there were no surprises. On Installation day I come in at 8:15am and speak with Kendall. She immediately walks me over to the tint packages and ask me what I want. I'm confused because I though everything was finalized over the phone. She says the windshield tint can be a different tint then the rest of the car. I asked how much of a upgrade in price this will be. She comes back to me and communicates that they are already tinting the replacement windshield and I'm stuck with my first selection over the phone. Which is okay but why the upsell on something that wasn't an option in the first place. She then begins to sell me on the windshield tint and explain that already included and they are tinting it as we speak and I will have to pay 225.00 more because it's not included on the original quote. I was very concern and told her I verified all charges with Dustin and also her over the phone. She continues to pressure me to pay the upcharge and I continue to tell her that this surprise upcharging is not okay. She steps a way for less than a minute and then tells me they can include it with charging me more. I get a call from Kendall at 1:15 that the car is all completed. I come in at 2:50 and they are still working on it but they are doing the completion in the front parking lot. I wait in my car for another 20 minutes until there done. I would rather wait and have it done correctly. Why I had a car almost 2 hours prior saying its completed is unknown. I'm glad I didn't come sooner I would have been waiting. The Tech as he is walking away from me tells me quickly what to do and not to do. I come in to check out with Kendall and she does a great job getting me out the door quickly after paying. I proceed to start my car and it doesn't start the battery was drained. Kendall comes out with a attitude as I'm inconveniencing her. She has the starter in a box and tells me because I'm a man and she's a woman she should do it. I can't see if its a cigarette lighter jump start or battery connecter because it's still in the box. I ask her what kind? She then says if I'm not man enough she can get one of her guys out to do it! The car starter worked I asked for the the owner phone #. She tells me that she can't give it out and he will call me. Then walks into the store as I follow in to ask again she tells me to leave the store. A few minutes later I'm on the phone with my wife stunned by the level of customer service. Erk the owner that was supposably not there comes out to me and acts like nothing happens. He then tells me that He watch the security camera of me and because I was bothered and respectively assertive with what I was promised that I was being rude and Kendall had her reasons to treat me the way she did. I asked a question about the bubbles in the tint and when they go away (kendall communicated that this will happen. He told me that the bubbling doesn't go away and if you don't like it I can rip it out and give you your money back. He then says we don't do perfect tinting (which perfect is impossible) I just didn't need a threatening response included with the answer to my question. I left there satisfied with the good tint job but, unsettled with the way I was treated and how they didn't value my business with poor customer service."

FAQs for architectural service projects in Peoria, AZ

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.
