Whether you're upgrading an existing structure or building from the ground up, Peter T. Erdelyi & Associates, Inc has the expertise to oversee your project through completion. We have designed more than 10,000 structures in the Los Angeles area over the past four decades; from apartment buildings to new single family homes to additions and remodels both for residential and commercial clients. Our team of professional engineers, drafters, expeditors and project staff will deliver plans that withstand the test of time.

"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."

Arcelab Inc. Architects is guided by Bill Gregory, AIA with 50 years of education and experience in architecture. We focus on residential design and work in contemporary and some traditional (Spanish, Craftsman, Cape Cod) styles. We start with the client's program/budget goals combined with the opportunities/constraints of the site and develop a building design that brings them together in a cohesive solution. Bill will focus Arcelab's team on achieving your goals. We will be creating an environment that will be the center and starting point of everyday of your life and which will be the background of the many family events and memories still to come. While all examples of architecture are buildings, not all buildings are examples of architecture. The difference between a building and architecture is the informed care that went into the design of the building - including proportions, sequence of space, volume and light, relationship to site, material selection, and the details.

"We couldn't have hired a better architect. Bill worked with us closely, all the way through construction. He was creative, knowledgeable, thorough and meticulous. He was a pleasure to work with."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Federal architecture is most common in urban areas throughout the New England states, including the older parts of New York, Pennsylvania (namely, Boston and Philadelphia), Maryland, Massachusetts, and Virginia. The style also dominated in parts of Georgia in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, so many historical homes in the area embody this home design. Salem, MA, has two historic districts that predominantly feature this architectural style: Chestnut Street District and the Salem Maritime National Historic Site.

Fees depend on project size, design complexity, required permits, materials, labor, and whether additional consulting services are included.

Expect excavation below grade, creating a well for access, weatherproofing, and thorough inspections during setup.

Universal design costs can be minimal when you add them during construction; however, adding universal design principles to existing homes can sometimes increase renovation costs. For example, a mid-grade bathroom remodel is estimated to cost around $30,000, while a standard universal design remodel can cost closer to $40,000. Adding accessible design components can include widening hallways ($500 to $2,000), curbless showers ($2,000 to $8,000), and widening doors ($400 to $800). Keep in mind that these increased costs can lead to higher resale values because universal homes may appeal to a wider variety of buyers.

A designer is a great choice for remodeling projects that don’t require significant structural work. For remodeling that includes structural work like removing load-bearing walls, altering exterior walls, or adding on a room, an architect can design and execute the renovations while ensuring your home remains structurally sound.
