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

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

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.

When planning a new build, meet with an architect as your first step. Architects will often work with specific contractors and can ensure the contractor on your project is qualified and experienced to handle your build. Both the architect and the contractor should be involved with the project from the early stages, but the process may be smoother when you start with an architect.

In the United States, architects must be licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia before being allowed to practice or seek business. Licensing requirements vary state-to-state, but overall the architect must be educated, attain a certain level of experience, submit to and pass an examination, and register as an architect. Find out if your architect is licensed using Angi’s contractor licensing search tool

The various types of architects can be broken down into eight distinct categories, but there can be specific specialties within each of them. Most homeowners will work with a residential, restoration, green, interior, landscape, or retrofit architect for projects. There are also lighting and commercial architects whose work is geared more toward large spaces and businesses.
