"Hired Pacific Sands after we lost our home in the Eaton Fires in Altadena. We were very happy with their team and the designs they finished for us. Their permitting team was amazing too, so happy they were able to help with that part of the process. too."

I, Dwight C. Rogers, Architect, have been practicing architecture since 1984. I love working in San Diego County and would be more then happy helping you out with your architectural needs with a focus on additions to homes, remodels and small commercial projects. \n\nPast projects range from free-standing radiology facilities to historical restoration and custom homes. \n\nCurrent projects include the building upgrades and the addition of an accessible lift for a circa 1912 church and upgrades and permitting for an existing mixed-use commercial building.\n

"Very well with professional workmanship and quality materials. For bath, bedroom was cordoned off for cleanliness. Long lasting roofing materials were used on the roof rebuild and reprinting. Very close supervision of the work was constantly provided."

"

I purchased a big deal for this service and it worked out good. I just did not really jell with the designer so I did not use them. I did not like his ideas and did not like how they threw out the dollar amount for the project without knowing what I wanted to do. They are good, but it just did not work for me.

Architects questions, answered by experts

The process typically takes 2-6 weeks, depending on the project size and level of customization.

Federal and Colonial architecture are similar in that they both appear mostly utilitarian and symmetrical, but Federal architecture is a bit more ornate. Federal design often includes decorative palladium windows, window lintels, and, sometimes, columns surrounding a more decorative portico. Inside, Federal architecture is set apart by its centrally-located oval room. Additionally, Federal homes tend to have brick facades, whereas Colonial homes more often have wood siding.

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.

You have three options in terms of professionals who can draw up blueprints: a draftsperson, an architect, or a structural engineer. A draftsperson can sometimes draw up plans for new construction, but they more often work from approved plans for alterations or to provide 3D drawings. Architects are usually the best option for standard residential construction projects. Structural engineers might be necessary for custom home builds or for alterations that could affect your home’s structural integrity. Draftsmen cost the least of the three, followed by architects and then structural engineers.

An architect plans and designs new construction and alteration projects. They often provide sketches for homes, office buildings, shopping malls, and other structures.
