"Called for an estimate and the company came out and provided a free estimate for the spot I was looking to install a patio. Kyle provided a few options as I didn't know exactly what type of stone to go with. The estimate ended up coming in over $1k cheaper than the other companies. The job took a day to do and it was all coordinated over email because of my schedule. I just left the gate unlock. It looks great and is everything I imagined. I've gotten several compliments already. I would highly recommend company."

"Kapital Drafting saved our delayed house renovation project. We were unable to get usable, detailed drawings for a complicated house addition/expansion. Kapital Drafting was brought into the project, and delivered detailed, professional work in the specified time frame. The work was thorough, thoughtful, accurate, and to budget. Best of all, we really enjoyed working with Kaptial. The level of professionalism, understanding of the process and meticulous technical skill was marvelous. No concerns were left unanswered or unsolved. Thank you, Kapital Drafting!"

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

A floor plan is a less detailed illustration showing a building or room's layout from above, including elements like windows, doors, walls, and fixtures. It offers a simplified view for homeowners. In contrast, a blueprint is a more detailed, to-scale architectural drawing that includes all parts of the building plans, such as structural elements, construction details, and utility schematics. While a floor plan can be a type of view within a blueprint, the complete blueprint contains all the necessary details to turn the plan into a reality.

Designs typically take 2-6 months, depending on factoring, project size, and customization needs. Larger or more complex designs may require additional time for approval and revisions.

Costs depend on project complexity, materials, labor, permits, and required revisions.

Choose an architect based on their portfolio, experience with similar projects, client reviews, and whether their design approach matches your vision.

There are differences between universal design and ADA accommodations, but the outcomes are often similar. While universal design is a proactive process that takes a social justice approach to accessibility for all, ADA accommodations are focused specifically on accessibility for individuals living with disabilities. ADA accommodations often take the shape of wider doors and hallways, ramps, elevators, lower counters and sinks, and easy-to-grab door handles; universal design can include these plus emphasize better lighting, tractioned floors, and other building elements that allow all people to use buildings more comfortably.
