"l called a builder from Angie's List to see about enclosing the lanai.  It already has the inside walls and ceiling so I figured it would be easy to just put the one wall with windows and doors on to close off the lanai from the pool.  However, the builder said I was outside of his area, but that I needed an architect to draw up plans.  He said this is a requirement of my county and they are very strict.  He said he had completed a few projects that Sean had designed, and he was very pleased with his work.  He recommended Sean and provided the contact information.
I called Sean and he was very prompt with scheduling an appointment to see the area and talk with me about my expectations.  We e-mailed back and forth about questions and concerns.   He provided two preliminary drawings and highlighted the advantages of each design.  I could have gone with either design.  They both complemented and added to the back of the house. 
Right after he completed the lanai design, he started work on designing the structure that would have a chicken coop at ground level and a large room upstairs.  Again, we communicated mainly via e-mail.  He came back with two preliminary drawings that took me hours to decide which one would be selected.  The designs are incredible.  In fact, he again went over each and helped me make the final choice.  He listened to all my concerns.  When it was in the final stage and I had basically approved the design, it dawned on me I wanted one solid wall for floor to ceiling bookshelves.  I was concerned it would impact the design and it was at the final stage.  However, Sean said he could see my point and it was a great suggestion.  Every e-mail and conversation with him was pleasant.  He is very easy to do business with and paid attention to what I was looking for in the building.  Even though he has completed his work, he has already contacted me to see if the selected builder has any questions or concerns.  I am well-pleased with all of Sean's work.

"Charles took on this job the week before Christmas and made a huge effort to get three rooms painted and all cabinets installed before the holiday. He does good work and is honest and pleasant to deal with. I've recommended him to friends and will hire him again soon."
The Gignacs selected both white Shaker cabinets with quartz and premium stone for the the gray cabinet island that I put together using

FAQs for architectural service projects in Apopka, FL

While you might think that architects only draw blueprints for buildings, they are much more involved in the overall construction process than you might realize. While they aren’t the ones swinging the hammers, architects do the following: 

  • Communicate with the homeowner on the project request, including assistance when exact plans aren’t known

  • Develop computer-aided models and blueprints of the requested design

  • Ensure that the design incorporates form, function, and safety features

  • Provide the contractor with the agreed-upon design

  • Supervise the general contractor and any subcontractors throughout the project

  • Communicate any needed changes to the project with the homeowner and draw new plans accordingly

Before settling on and hiring an architect, it’s beneficial to you as a homeowner to ask some questions to familiarize yourself with their work. After all, you wouldn’t want to spend time and resources on a professional that doesn’t specialize in exactly what you want in a house. Some questions to ask your architect include: 

  • How do you charge for services? Is it on an hourly basis, based on square footage, or based on project size?

  • How do we work together to stay on budget for this project?

  • Do you anticipate any future challenges with this project? How are these communicated?

  • What is your project management style? If you are not handling the day-to-day details, who is my point of contact? 

  • Can I see previous similar projects that you’ve completed?

  • Do you have any specialty experience, like working on historic homes or using sustainable building materials?

The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200

The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour. 

After you’ve spoken with your contractor and agreed on a project, they’ll draw up blueprints, or plans, that the construction crew will use. The blueprint process can take between four and six months to complete. While this can seem like a long time, remember that the architect must communicate with your municipality to determine codes, communicate with you as the homeowner with any changes or adjustments, and coordinate with the construction crew. 

If you simply remodel your home or add an addition, the time to draw up the plans will be shorter since fewer permits and surveys are required. Even still, it’s best to plan for a few months for the architect to complete this part of the project.

Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
