"Sami's service was phenomenal. He was attentive to what we were trying to create. He knew the ordinances and requirements needed to pass our inspections and was available to advise us throughout the process. For Sami it was not just a job it was a passion to make sure we were pleased with his work. Sami has excellent work ethics. We chose our own contractor and he worked well with our contractor. I would definitely work with him again and recommend him to others."

Small jobs welcome

"This company is amazing!!!! We had our deck rebuilt by them and the entire process was great. My partner and I encountered a bad contractor that left us with a poorly built and dangerous deck. Eric and Preston stepped in and completely transformed our backyard. Their professionalism and craftmanship is exceptional. They gave great advice about design, correcting the previous contractor's mistakes, and educating us on code/building practices. They provided great communication from start to finish and answered all questions promptly. His team moved with a sense of urgency and precision while onsite. They would come early and work late while maintaining an organized site (material & debris). SEED Development + Design exceeded our expectation and I plan to refer all my friends and family."

Customers say: Quick response

"Caroline was and is a delight to work with, she is knowledgeable about many styles of architecture. In my case I wanted something a little outside the box, however Caroline researched 50s and 60s design and listened to all of my ideas. I have recommended her to several people and will continue to do so. If you are looking for a fabulous architect look no further, do yourself and your project a favor and contact Caroline. M"

Architects questions, answered by experts

In most cases, yes, hiring a draftsperson will be more affordable than the cost of hiring an architect. However, it’s important to note that the reason is because these professionals provide different services. Draftspersons are more affordable because they do more general mock-ups that help align your contractors with your vision for your home renovation project. An architect will provide more detailed drawings that include technical specifications, structural considerations, and even mechanical components, like electrical box and HVAC ductwork placement.

Yes, you can finance cottage construction through several options. Construction loans provide funds in stages as work progresses, while home equity loans or lines of credit are available if you have existing property. Some lenders offer a combined construction and permanent mortgage. Always review loan terms and payment milestones before committing.

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.

Open floor plans can come with drawbacks—mainly the lack of privacy and noise dampening. Walls act as an important barrier for traveling sounds, meaning in an open floor plan you could hear your dishwasher running while sitting in your living room. Storage limitations and separation of activities (for example, keeping the kid’s playroom away from the dining room) are other reasons some homeowners are opting out of an open floor plan.

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.
