"Other than a late start the team was focused and knowledgeable. They took great care to cleanly remove the damaged flooring and professionally install the replacement. It should be notes that the old flooring was incorrectly glued, making the task very tedious and difficult. The result is that you can't tell where the repair is without knowing its location. Well done."

"It went very well.  Construction was behind schedule due to the weather.  Approximate build time was 11-12 weeks. Christian did everything we contracted him to do with no hidden expenses or extra charges.  He provided us a packet with all the build details and costs.   He didn't bill us till what we thought was the appropriate time for each stage of the building process.  If we needed to call him and ask questions, he always answered or called us back within a short amount of time.  Christian worked with a two to three man team and they were always professional and respectful.

Christian looked at our property and gave us a vision of what he thought would work and look good.  We trusted his vision and it came out perfectly.  We requested some additional changes and he was very accommodating.  One was outside the budget and we felt the extra expense was very fair.  

The pool came out great.  Everything was level, the travertine and tile (water line) came out perfect.  The travertine was cut perfectly and uniform around the edges.  We were very happy with the color of the plaster (he recommended), tile, travertine, and the rock (tanning ledge).  After completing the pool, Christian provided us with the cleaning equipment including a pressure side pool cleaner, skimming net and scrub brush, and chemicals to get started.

Architects questions, answered by experts

The various types of architects can be broken down into eight distinct categories, but there can be specific specialties within each of them. Most homeowners will work with a residential, restoration, green, interior, landscape, or retrofit architect for projects. There are also lighting and commercial architects whose work is geared more toward large spaces and businesses.

The most common scale for residential blueprints is 1/4 of an inch equals one foot. This scale is the most popular because it’s easier for everyone involved, from professionals to homeowners, to understand the building’s actual dimensions. Also, it allows blueprints to have the necessary details without cluttering the page.

Structural engineers draw structural plans, which include detailed drawings of the structural components of a home only. Complete house plans will require additional work from an architect or draftsperson, whose drawings will take the structural drawings into account. They’ll also include more details about the finishing materials and layout of a home, including everything from roofing and flooring materials to the position of furniture, light fixtures, switches, and plumbing fixtures.

Hire an architect at the very beginning of your home-building process. An architect’s training and expertise can guide the process from start to finish to ensure you don’t miss or have to redo any important steps. An architect will also provide valuable input on design, materials, and other details right from the beginning.

The cost to draw house plans typically ranges from $800 to $2,700, with standard blueprints averaging around $1,800. For a custom home, the cost is higher, with blueprints often falling between $5,000 and $20,000, and potentially more for very complex designs. Several factors influence the total price, including the project's size, the number of rooms, the type of drawings required, and the architect's experience level. You may also need to pay a structural engineer to ensure building safety, particularly for custom homes.
