"15 yrs ago , i left my full time job to pursue my dream of being a self-employed Contractor and was welcomed with open arms by my community and fellow contractors which led to my success as a contractor. Recently my wife and I wanted to remodel our master bathroom , and we decided to look for a start-up company and return the same chance we were given when I took the leap myself. Upon searching we met Jacob and Eric with GMI in Colp , Illinois. From the first meeting with these guys , I knew they were the right choice for us. We met and discussed what we were thinking for our project , we agreed on everything and gave them the greenlight to get started. From start to finish , we were beyond impressed with the level of respect and professionalism that they not only showed to our home , but our family as well , including our 2 children that asked a million questions a day !! We look forward to working with these guys again in the near future , my wife and I both Highly Recommend GMI for any of your Home Improvement needs , and I personally look forward to following the future of their business and watching what they accomplish. Top Notch Guys , Top Notch Work !!!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

A home elevator is a fantastic way to improve your home’s accessibility. Elevators allow anyone, even those who use wheelchairs or walkers, to safely move between floors within your home.

Dumbwaiters may allow you to move items up and down floors, and stair lifts can move people up and down, but elevators are the best option if you need space for people, their belongings, and/or mobility aids such as wheelchairs.

That said, home elevators cost more than other options, such as stair lifts. Consider your needs and your budget when deciding the best way to make your home more accessible to a person with a disability or a person who is aging in place.

The design phase varies by project size and complexity; initial ideas can take weeks, while extensive plans may extend to months for complete detailing.

Consulting the architect of your house is not the best way to determine when it was built. Many homes are built by developers or builders, so there may not be a specific architect to track down—especially if you have a very old house. Instead, it’s best to rely on local government records.

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.

Many drafters go on to continue their education and become architects. Drafting is a necessary skill for architects, so learning drafting is often the first step on a path toward becoming a licensed architect. Drafting can also be a career on its own, with plenty of drafters choosing to specialize and focus solely on drafting.
