"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."

"We met with owner/senior architect, Firmin Senga to join us in the viewing of our desired property. We wanted to have an architect on board with us for reassurance that the updates we plan will work before we make an offer. He was very helpful."

"I can't say enough about A P Builders and how absolutely wonderful they have been from start to finish. We completely gutted and remodeled our home and Angelo was upfront, honest, timely, and everything that was contracted was done to perfection. We had crew there every day from start to finish. He started on time and finished on time. Any change orders were handled professionally and solutions were found for any unforeseen challenges due to the age of my home. I highly recommend AP Builders for any of your home improvement needs."

"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."

"J.D. was fantastic, we stated with a quick design consultation for a modest price to test the waters. J.D. showed up, was personable and extremely knowledgeable of his field. J.D. made my wife and I to feel very comfortable throughout the design and installation processes.
J.D. and his crew began on schedule and was flexible when we needed to change dates (and some plans) based on a new fence we were putting in, as well as delays due to weather.
J.D. discovered a tree in our yard was a "weed-tree" which could be damaging to the new landscaping/sod, as well as the garden we were putting in; he recommended a tree removal service whose costs were on par with other services in the area and within 1 day the tree was gone.
J.D's crew was very courteous and friendly when on-site, always a tip of the hat and a wave with a smile. J.D. is the designer and actually does overseas the implementation of the design, and is not afraid to throw a little mulch around.
My wife and I are ecstatic with the work he and his crew did, we just wish we had more green-space for him to work on.
You should absolutely hire this company, even if you don't really need the work done.

"It was a quick job for amending house details for the village?s records. It was not a big job or great undertaking, so I do not know if their full services warrant a full 5 stars. As for this job, he was very curious and quick to finish. I've already recommended this office to a co-worker, & this would submit to all you readers to at 'least sit down talk to them for your architectural needs. That said, don't forget, architects are not cheap, though the most meticulous and detailed oriented of architect saves one undo stress & unnecessary costs. A good architect lays the framework for every contractor's portion of work and their plans even set legal precedent if situations should ever turn sour with lazy workmanship. Keeping that in mind, you will notice where the value of a good architect lies what you're really paying for. Peace of mind. (... and for everything else, there's MasterCard)"

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.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

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.

In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.
