In business since 1987

We specialize in residences and commercial buildings of all sizes, particularly frame structures and in all occupancy classifications. We do renovations and adaptive reuses of older buildings. Started in 1969 as in-house designers for an Atlanta homebuilder, the company was acquired in 1987 by project manager Phillip Andrew Jessup, who expanded the company in 1988 to include architectural services. From 1998 through 2000, we re-organized and expanded our focus to include renovation, remodeling, & interior design. From 2001 through 2003, we added Internet marketing of our extensive collection of home plans. Recent projects include a 5,000 sq. ft new estate home in a "sacred grove" planted by early settlers, several new 1500 - 2200 sq. ft. bungalows and narrow-lot urban homes, an award-winning expansion & renovation of a century-old bungalow, a kitchen re-design, basement finishing and bonus room expansions, a 13,000 sq. ft computer operations center for a financial institution, a traditional Tacqueria restaurant, a Bank branch, a Convenience Store in a quonset hut, and a school & classroom expansion to a church. Clients return to us for confidence in our sound & innovative designs that meet code, get permits, and are buildable. We hope you will, too.

Small jobs welcome

I believe that good design is not just for the privileged class in America. For the last fifteen years, it has been my goal to deliver quality design services at an affordable price to "the average American family."\n\nWith offices in Atlanta and Manchester, I introduced the concept of portability in architectural design by bringing architecture to the kitchen table in your home. I became known as the "affordable-portable architect".\n\nWe specialize in residential architecture and small commercial project design. \n\nTo prevent costly and unnecessary misunderstandings, we provides our clients with full 3D services at affordable prices. We differ from most architects by engaging our clients in the actual design process. Our interactive design approach versus the standard reactive design approach gives our customer a greater sense of satisfaction and understanding of their project.\n\nWith our state-of-the-art object-oriented design software, 24 hour turnaround is available on some small projects.\n\nEach project varies in level of complexity and difficulty. We base our fees on those two criteria only. We will match any reasonable fee.\n\nContrary to conventional wisdom, the architect's fee represents a very small fraction of the total cost of your housing cost.\n\nThere is also substantial evidence that shows that a good set of architectural plans improves the overall quality of the project and usually results in a lower bid from the contractor. The contractor usually adds cost to the project to cover the unknown.\n\nWithout a set of drawings, "everything is an unknown".\n\nIf you own land and can not afford the upfront cost of an architect, call us and we may consider being your partner with a project equity position.

FAQs for architectural service projects in Bowdon, GA

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.
