Our vision at Boston Architects & Builders is to bring a synergistic and sustainable approach to every design-build project, where beauty, peace and harmony integrate into a unique environment that fulfills the aesthetic tastes and functional needs of our most discerning clients, while improving the quality of life for our team members, our vendors, and the communities we serve.

"I am delighted to recommend Vahe and his team at BAB. His architectural and design skills are truly outstanding. From the outset, Vahe impressed me with his thoughtful ideas and his commitment to working within my budget—always looking for ways to save on unnecessary costs for me without compromising quality or vision. What stood out most was his exceptional communication. Vahe consistently kept me informed and coordinated seamlessly with all parties involved: the condo HOA board, property management, neighbors, and the city. His proactive approach meant he often anticipated and addressed potential issues before they became problems. This contributed to it being a low-stress experience for me. Despite the challenges of remodeling a small, older urban unit—and my being out of state in a different time zone—Vahe and his on-site team were able to creatively and efficiently expand both the kitchen and bathroom and bring to life my dream of a charming little back bay condo. His professionalism, transparency, and warmth came through from our very first phone call. I immediately trusted him, and he delivered beyond expectations. I highly recommend Vahe, Carine, Luigi and the BAB team without hesitation. Their integrity, expertise, and dedication make them an exceptional partner on any project."

The Curtice Group is a complete design build firm including architectural design, project planning and completed construction. We don't just renovate your home - we are there with you for the entire project. We create detailed project plans and 3D designs so you can see what your project will look like before we build. We create temporary kitchens and stairs, if needed to make a construction zone livable. Our competition doesn't do that. We have a solid reputation for attentiveness, dedication and honest work. The Curtice Group is unique in that we offer completely transparent pricing. Our customers know our material and labor costs and how much they are paying for all of our services. Not only are we extremely talented builders but also friendly, courteous, and helpful. All our subcontractors are fully licensed and insured. Ask about our Angie's List discount. For fastest response, please call 978-808-0238 or email me at [email protected]. Check out our website- www.thecurticegroup.com

"As a testament to how happy we were with our first renovation provided by the Curtice Group in 2021, which provided completely new kitchen/dining/mudroom/bath, we hired Scott and his team again in 2024-25 for another major renovation. This job was composed of 3 main parts: a gut remodel of our main bathroom, renovation of a large attic space (about 700 sq ft), and whole-home conversion from steam radiators (gas) to heat pumps including removal of all radiators and a chimney. The bathroom now is attractive and more functional, the attic adds a large amount of useful space as an office/kid room/guest area, and central air makes a more comfortable climate. I’m a big fan of the design/build concept, because you really don’t want to separate those two elements into different contractors, and if you find a talented company, they can handle all aspects of the job fluidly. Scott Curtice has a real knack for design, he is attentive and cares about details, and he will perform carpentry and touch-up work as needed. Moreover, he handled all the project coordination so that we could do the jobs that we do well, which do not include home renovation."

"Joe and his team did an incredible job, the work was excellent and I appreciated the workmanship and the creative trouble-shooting (it's an old house!) to get excellent results. Everyone on his team was great: skilled, hard-working, friendly, and kind/respectful. Pricing was very reasonable and allowed me to upgrade items like appliances without sacrificing the scope of the remodel, quality, or workmanship. My house is transformed and I could not be happier with the results."

FAQs for architectural service projects in Arlington, MA

While you might think that architects only draw blueprints for buildings, they are much more involved in the overall construction process than you might realize. While they aren’t the ones swinging the hammers, architects do the following: 

  • Communicate with the homeowner on the project request, including assistance when exact plans aren’t known

  • Develop computer-aided models and blueprints of the requested design

  • Ensure that the design incorporates form, function, and safety features

  • Provide the contractor with the agreed-upon design

  • Supervise the general contractor and any subcontractors throughout the project

  • Communicate any needed changes to the project with the homeowner and draw new plans accordingly

Before settling on and hiring an architect, it’s beneficial to you as a homeowner to ask some questions to familiarize yourself with their work. After all, you wouldn’t want to spend time and resources on a professional that doesn’t specialize in exactly what you want in a house. Some questions to ask your architect include: 

  • How do you charge for services? Is it on an hourly basis, based on square footage, or based on project size?

  • How do we work together to stay on budget for this project?

  • Do you anticipate any future challenges with this project? How are these communicated?

  • What is your project management style? If you are not handling the day-to-day details, who is my point of contact? 

  • Can I see previous similar projects that you’ve completed?

  • Do you have any specialty experience, like working on historic homes or using sustainable building materials?

The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200

The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour. 

After you’ve spoken with your contractor and agreed on a project, they’ll draw up blueprints, or plans, that the construction crew will use. The blueprint process can take between four and six months to complete. While this can seem like a long time, remember that the architect must communicate with your municipality to determine codes, communicate with you as the homeowner with any changes or adjustments, and coordinate with the construction crew. 

If you simply remodel your home or add an addition, the time to draw up the plans will be shorter since fewer permits and surveys are required. Even still, it’s best to plan for a few months for the architect to complete this part of the project.

Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
