"I got fined because a Rock Wall contractor messed me up by telling me a permit was not needed so I had to pay a big fine. A friend recommended Aaron Shimizu Architecture company who was quite knowledgeable. Aaron was quite easy to talk to and made me relax by explaining the process he was quite knowledgeable He explained the steps and started the process for the new permit very quickly and as we progressed his staff kept me in the loop. I became very relaxed because of his experience. I got my legal permit after the process was finished. If I have any problems again I will definitely call Aaron he is a smart man."

"I love my new kitchen. I donâ t have a design eye myself so it was great that they had a design team available for me to assist with choices. My Project Manager was very personable, I will be reaching out in the fall to do my deck! Thanks again Beyond Builders!"

"Carlos was very professional when he came to do the site visit. We went over details over my small project. He submitted his proposal the next day. Only reason I didn t select him was his price was almost triple the amount of the other five proposals I received, for the same work. Now only time will tell if it was the correct decision, but based on how small my job is, I felt it wasn t worth the price proposed. I think his price is more for commercial projects. Good luck!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

Designs typically take 2-6 months, depending on factoring, project size, and customization needs. Larger or more complex designs may require additional time for approval and revisions.

Most Greek Revival architecture homes are one and a half to two stories, depending on the footprint, which sets them apart from some Federal architecture homes that are three stories. The gabled roof on the second floor can sometimes cut into the living space, especially on smaller homes of this style, which leaves a much smaller living area upstairs.

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

Balancing aesthetics with functionality amidst space planning is important. To do so, you could consider consulting both an interior designer and an architect to fulfill both these needs. Or you can tackle it on your own by prioritizing personal touches amidst space planning that add to the look but don't take away from the livability of the space.

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.
