"The work Erdelyi associates did is great, but communication and timeliness were lacking. I didn’t have a consistent point of contact throughout the project - it just seems my project was handed off from one person to the next with no continuity and I had to proactively reach out for updates."

"Amazing! G & L Design crew is so knowledgeable and fun to work with. They really had an insight and vision for my yard (front & back) that fit my lifestyle and personality perfectly. I love it so much. I would hire them again in a heart beat!"

"Franco and his father Rene are experienced architects who came out to the site promptly, game planned a way to get approval for a multi unit triplex from duplex on the spot, and followed through each step of the phase. We successfully were able to get all city approvals in the city of LA. A+ Rating"

"Encore builders are a top tier company!! Brandon and oz own the company - they donâ t send out salespeople who are just trying to get you to sign a contract. You can tell they are organized and professional. They came out to give me a quote and I knew right away theyâ re legit. They immediately answered my questions and explained the whole process to me. I was looking to upgrade my backyard by putting in some artificial turf. They recommended a specific kind and we also ended up putting a fire pit. We also built a barbecue area as we love to host. It doesnâ t even look like the same backyard anymore. Their staff and crew are all attentive and accommodating. They arrived on time and worked with my schedule. My neighbors didnâ t even notice work was being done. They parked their cars respectfully and cleaned up after themselves. All in all im very happy. Well done encore builders."

"We couldn't be happier with our backyard project. Motti and Kimberly were just wonderful to work with. They were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive all throughout the process. They listened to our thoughts and educated us as to all our possibilities. Motti has a wonderful design eye and is so passionate about his work. We were very happy when we used them for the front of our house 4 years ago, this time around for the back, and we would use them again in the future. We recommend them highly."

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

While Craftsman-style houses are bungalows, cottages typically aren’t, though they can be. But they also differ in other stylistic aspects. For instance, cottages usually have simpler designs and painted woodwork.

The process involves initial consultation, concept development, detailed planning, regulatory approvals, and integration of contractor work for project execution.

The biggest upside to hiring an architect is that they will ensure an efficient building process without errors. They will also ensure your home is free from structural issues and that everything is up to building code. Many permitting agencies require architects to draw construction plans and layouts before working, so hiring an architect will also ensure your project is legal. Additionally, architects help homeowners have a clear idea of their project details before the project starts. Hence, they help unify all parties on a shared vision for the project.

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

Consulting the architect of your house is not the best way to determine when it was built. Many homes are built by developers or builders, so there may not be a specific architect to track down—especially if you have a very old house. Instead, it’s best to rely on local government records.
