Customers say: True professional

"I enjoyed our first meeting—in which Chuck asked good questions and listened closely to my answers—and after seeing the early sketches I decided to go ahead with the project. Chuck began by exploring the existing house, making measurements, studying details, and doing numerous sketches. His enthusiasm for the project was encouraging. We collaborated frequently as he developed detailed plans and had them professionally reviewed. The plans moved easily through the permitting process, and they impressed the contractor and his subs once work began: I heard many times that the architect’s drawings and notes were more clear and complete than those they are used to working with. Chuck stayed involved throughout the project, helping me make decisions and offering creative solutions to the small difficulties that arose."

"Designed a complete remodel of the back porch enclosure on my house. Easy to work with. He came and checked it out before I had a survey done(didn’t know i needed one). Survey was scheduled out 3 weeks so he offered to come take measurements for a fee and then he could get started. I accepted and a week or so later we had our plan. When the survey was completed the updated Schematic hardly changed. Wonderful job."

"Brian was really easy and flexible to work with. It was easy to get a hold of him with questions and he'd let us know in advance if he'd be out of pocket. Our house was delayed due to supply chain and COVID issues but he did everything in the realm of his control to keep our schedule."

"Colorado Builders was the most professional roofing company I have every worked with. They don't use Sub-Contractors and the staff was just amazing to work with, and they were only on my job 1 week with all the work I had done. I would recommend them a 100 times over!!!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

There are differences between universal design and ADA accommodations, but the outcomes are often similar. While universal design is a proactive process that takes a social justice approach to accessibility for all, ADA accommodations are focused specifically on accessibility for individuals living with disabilities. ADA accommodations often take the shape of wider doors and hallways, ramps, elevators, lower counters and sinks, and easy-to-grab door handles; universal design can include these plus emphasize better lighting, tractioned floors, and other building elements that allow all people to use buildings more comfortably.

Depending on project scope, complexity, and building size, architectural services for businesses typically cost between $2,000 and $50,000. Fees can be structured as hourly rates, fixed pricing, or a percentage of total construction costs.

Structural engineers draw structural plans, which include detailed drawings of the structural components of a home only. Complete house plans will require additional work from an architect or draftsperson, whose drawings will take the structural drawings into account. They’ll also include more details about the finishing materials and layout of a home, including everything from roofing and flooring materials to the position of furniture, light fixtures, switches, and plumbing fixtures.

While possible for small projects, professional designers ensure compliance with building codes and structural integrity.

It can take anywhere from a few days to several months to draw up architectural plans, depending on the complexity of your project. Architectural plans are highly detailed documents that take time to complete, and any changes or alterations can significantly extend how long they take.
