"Marc Anderson was incredibly helpful, walking me through the typical process and advising me that I may not need an architect for my specific renovation plans. However, if I do need an architect, he'll be happy to help and I feel assured that I'm dealing with a straight shooter."

"Dave was the BEST to work with. He didn’t hesitate to take a lot of time to help me understand the process of adding an addition to our home, and helped us put together plans that were exactly what we were looking for. I definitely recommend ALA to anyone looking for an architect. We can’t wait to move forward with our project! -Val and Stephen"

This was a big important project for our home and I am extremely happy with how it came out! The cost was very reasonable and there were no surprises, everything was open and honest. I would definitely use them again and recommend to friends and family. Thank you AP!"

"Firmin is a pleasure to work with. He is professional, responsive, and he helped me immensely by creating a set of drawings for a condo renovation. He came over to my house, discussed the project with me and made me realize that my design needed some adjustments. I was very grateful for this because I think I would not have liked it otherwise. He created the drawings on schedule and delivered by the agreed upon deadline. I would hire Senga Architects again without thinking twice."

"Arturo and his crew were and have always been amazing. I have had Arturo working in my gardens for nine years. His quality is unquestionable and the work is lasting. He figured out how to drain water from a back wall and for the first time in 25 years, I had a dry basement - it was remarkable. His hardscape work is beyond beautiful. He put in two retaining walls, while also laying a patio with existing material. People who visit are always taken with the beauty of what he and his crew created. Finally, Arturor is honest, hard working, has integrity and is dependable to a fault. When he finishes a job, the yard is perfect, he carries everything away. He is the only person I allow to do my work."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Depending on project scope, complexity, and building size, architectural services for businesses typically cost between $2,000 and $50,000. Fees can be structured as hourly rates, fixed pricing, or a percentage of total construction costs.

You can draw your own house plans using three-dimensional modeling software, but in most cases, you’ll need an architect to draw up the final plans. Architects understand local building regulations and requirements, so their plans will be necessary for getting permits approved, and they’ll also ensure your home is structurally sound. DIY house plans can be a good place to start to help visualize your project, but you should always defer to a professional before trying to proceed with the project.

The process typically takes 2-6 weeks, depending on the project size and level of customization.

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.

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.
