"We chose VKB to do our complete gut master bathroom renovation and were so happy with their work in terms of reliability, craftsmanship, and customer service that we hired them to renovate our hall bathroom as well. For both bathrooms we worked with Calvin as our designer and Jason as our project manager, and both of them went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with the design, that the project ran smoothly and on time, and that the final product was exactly what we wanted. We wouldn't hesitate to use VKB again if we need any other work done on our home, and we have already begun recommending them to family and friends and will continue to do so. We are very pleased with our experience with VKB!"

"My experience with Kapital Drafting has been nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, the entire process of designing and executing our home addition, deck, and patio was smooth, efficient, and enjoyable. Gary, the company's owner, is a consummate professional who made every step of the way feel like a breeze. From the moment we first approached Kapital Drafting, Gary took the time to understand our vision and goals for the project. He then expertly translated those ideas into detailed drawings and 3D renderings, which truly brought our ideas to life. It was evident that Gary's expertise in architecture and design was second to none, as the quality of his work was remarkable. The process of obtaining county approval for the project can often be daunting, but with Gary's help, drawings were approved without any issues. This was a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and compliance with building codes that Gary and his team adhere to. Throughout the construction phase, Gary maintained excellent communication with both us and our contractors. He consistently addressed any concerns that arose and offered valuable suggestions to ensure the best possible outcome. His collaborative approach allowed us to work together seamlessly, resulting in a finished product that exceeded our expectations. The final result of our home addition, deck, and patio is stunning. It has transformed our outdoor living space into an oasis that our family is enjoying daily and will continue to do for years to come. Kapital Drafting's combination of exceptional design skills, customer service, and a keen understanding of the building process made our experience an unforgettable one. In summary, we wholeheartedly recommend Kapital Drafting for anyone seeking architectural services for their home improvement projects. Our experience with Gary and his team was truly excellent, and we have no doubt that they will deliver the same level of satisfaction to future clients."

Customers say: Quick response

bluehouse architecture focuses on the interactive and collaborative design process \nworking with both the owner to create a project that\nsatisfies and exceeds expectations. Working with the owner to gain\nan understanding of his needs and requirements and communicating with the contractor\nto identify a solution that is possible within the work space are critical components of this\nprocess. This involves more than simply developing architectural drawings. Rather, from the\nbeginning of a project, bluehouse develops a solid relationship based upon open\ncommunication among all parties. bluehouse actively guides the client through all the stages of\ndesign, from the initial meeting where the project parameters are defined, through creating the\nschematic design and developing completed construction/permit drawings.\n

FAQs for custom home building projects in Upperco, MD

One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.

Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity. 

The average price per square foot to build a house is about $150 per square foot. Overall, the cost to build a house ranges anywhere from $100 to $500 per square foot, depending on where you build. The primary cost factors include location, size, and style of house you build.

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. 

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.
