"I reached out to Geico Builders through referral program. Project Manager Mila was super responsive and came out to give me ideas and quote. Once we agreed to the bid they were able to start work in just a few days. I already had a plan and plant list from a landscape architect so I was able to share those documents with them. I had biggest issue with the goffers all over my front yard, the suggestion that Mila gave me was priceless. The way how they did concrete an the amount of rebars they use I knew at that time this concrete stays here for a very long time! Team worked very quickly and efficient always left the job site clean when they left for the day. Mila was also helpful when we added more elements to the original plan. I got several quotes for this job and Geico Builders beat them all. The quality of the work was great so I feel like I got a great deal. Geico Builders thank you so much for all your hard work. We love our new yard!"

Small jobs welcome

"Adam is a great Architect. Very knowledgeable and through on building codes, needs, and wants of my project. I needed to expand my bathroom and make it handicap accessible. He thought of things I never considered. He foresaw things like moving the heating vents, adding lights, and fans. I’m just so pleased. My contractor was impressed. He loved the attention to detail. I was so naive about the project. Adam explained and we worked together to get my remodel the way I envisioned it. 5 stars I feel confident now to discuss with the contractor to see it through."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Designing a building takes 2-6 months, depending on project size, required permits, and revisions.

You should have an architect involved in your project from the very beginning. They’ll be able to direct your vision into workable plans, and they can advise you on potential problems right from the start. You may be able to save money by not using an architect, but larger projects will go much more smoothly with an experienced pro directing the process.

Costs depend on project complexity, software requirements, and the draftsperson’s experience.

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.

When conducting space planning, building codes and regulations need to be considered. As long as you are taking them into account and discussing them with the architect, you should be able to do your space planning appropriately.
