"We could not believe the transformation with Ole Mendez design for our front yard. So many neighbors have stop to see what company. They did such a fantastic job which requires hardly any watering that we hired him to do our sons cottage. Again the finished product was far above our expectations. They are also such a pleasure to work with their prices are so reasonable. We do not have any reservations what so ever to recommend Bella Vista to anyone who is looking for nothing less than perfection."

Customers say: Quick response

"Warren Barry drafted the plans for our residential assisted living facility, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He treated the project like his own ? communicative, responsive, and consistently ahead of schedule without sacrificing quality. What set Warren apart was how he engaged with our vision. He understood our goals and translated them into thoughtful, well-executed plans, while offering smart suggestions that went beyond architecture into the business side of the project. After working with him, Warren is the only architect we feel comfortable scaling our business with. As we open additional facilities, we have full confidence he can deliver the same quality and partnership at every stage. If you want an architect who is talented, dependable, and genuinely invested in your success, hire Warren. Five stars, without hesitation."

"We did not hire Big Hammer Construction because our project was canceled. However Todd and Marcia were wonderful to work with, timely and transparent in their quote and very professional and knowledgeable. Todd spent a lot of time with us, coming up with creative solutions for the issues we were facing with the house. They were both always available to answer any questions we had. I will most definitely hire them on future projects. I recommend them whole heartedly!"

"We had a large Playhouse built on our property. It was basically a small house insulation drywall siding shingle roof windows air-conditioning. Dave Farmer showed up on time with his helper. Took them an hour and a half to completely finish the job. The work was very organized. They hauled off all the debris. I watch them do most of the demolition. I was very impressed. They are very polite and the cost was reasonable. well worth the money. They also do home improvement just about anything. Thank you, Dave for a job well done. I will definitely use them again."

"Victor works directly with his clients to make sure he meets all their needs and puts their ideas on paper. Once the preliminary drawings are made, both parties meet again for any changes, and he creates the working blueprints. Since I'm a contractor, I can say that Victor's blueprints have accurate measurements and clear details, which any skilled tradesman can appreciate. Victor always stays current with architectural trends and building software, including 3D design, which gives homeowners a visual perspective before construction begins."

Architects questions, answered by experts

The most common scale for residential blueprints is 1/4 of an inch equals one foot. This scale is the most popular because it’s easier for everyone involved, from professionals to homeowners, to understand the building’s actual dimensions. Also, it allows blueprints to have the necessary details without cluttering the page.

Architects bring expertise in spatial design, efficiency, aesthetics, and safety, translating complex needs into feasible, regulatory-compliant design plans.

It is technically possible to draw your own blueprints, but the process is extremely involved and really demands help from an expert. A professional architect has an understanding of design elements, interior design, the functionality of different rooms in a home, and how everything from furniture, outlets, and light switches should be laid out to serve you and your family best. Hiring an architect for blueprints can get expensive, but it’s the most responsible way to begin a new construction project. If you’re keen on DIYing, you could consider starting the process and then having a professional take over.

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.

You have three options in terms of professionals who can draw up blueprints: a draftsperson, an architect, or a structural engineer. A draftsperson can sometimes draw up plans for new construction, but they more often work from approved plans for alterations or to provide 3D drawings. Architects are usually the best option for standard residential construction projects. Structural engineers might be necessary for custom home builds or for alterations that could affect your home’s structural integrity. Draftsmen cost the least of the three, followed by architects and then structural engineers.
