"I am very happy that I hired Civic Architectural Group Inc to handle two architectural projects. Jim Ohle and his team were simply outstanding. Jim Ohle and Jolaâ  s level of diligence and professionalism are unmatched. Other companies I have hired are typically available only during regular business hours but this was not the case with Civic Architecttutal Group Inc. Jim Ohle always made himself available to discuss design, plans or any issues that would arise well beyond regular business hours. Jim Ohle listened to my needs and provided constructive feedback on design ideas based on his vast wealth of knowledge and decades of experience. Jim Ohle and Jola scheduled touch base meetings to ensure timelines were met. I also love the fact that Jim Ohle is a self certified architect which saves a ton of time in the permit process. Jim Ohle also has a huge network of other trade experts which he facilitates if needed. Civic Architectural Group Inc is a well oiled machine. Their process from start to finish was seamless. Thank you Jim Ohle and Jola - you are greatly appreciated."

"He was out of business because he had chosen to try another profession.  Two weeks ago he gave me a call and said he was back in business.  My brother has used him extensively and I've used him for several projects.  Now that he is back in business, I'm having him come back and do some projects for me.  His name is Daryl Fegatto.  I highly recommend him and in fact I have recommended him to others.  His license ensures free estimates, framing, roofing, siding, room additions, custom decks, trim carpentry and hardwood.  He did siding when my brother built his house.  He did my brother's basement and he may end up getting mine when that time comes.  He made my garage from 20 by 20 to 20 by 30 and he reroofed all that about eight years ago.  He has purchased some land, built homes and sold them.  He has a tendency to over build which we pay for but the projects he does is going to last.  He is not fly by night kind of operation."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Greek Revival and Federal architecture are quite similar in that they focus on symmetry and a blend of utilitarianism and opulence, but they differ in a few key areas. First, Federal architecture tends to include a brick facade, whereas Greek Revival homes more often have stucco siding, much like you’d find in Mediterranean houses. Greek Revival homes also tend to be a bit more ornate, with columns as decor, and more decorative and formal porticos.

With proper training and experience, reading blueprints is fairly straightforward and not very difficult. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge to interpret the symbols, abbreviations, and other notations used, blueprints may not make sense. Learning to read blueprints can help you understand the construction process and keep you more involved and informed when you’re building a house.

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.

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.

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.
