To set a new standard of excellence for the delivery of construction services to our clients. We believe the quality of the construction is a direct result of the quality of the construction process. From early planning through completion, our role is to manage the complex components of our projects to ensure that superior quality and craftsmanship are never compromised.

"The work Arides and his firm have done for me has been remarkable. I say remarkable because he designed my home in Boston which is beautiful and well constructed. I can't tell you how many times I've been told it's "the nicest house in the neighborhood." More importantly, I have found that Arides is an architect with great patience. Arides is also a great listener who helped to guide me as I refined my design and realized my dream. Arides design work is practical, refined, and logical. Arides is also an excellent problem solver due to his vision and design skills. There has not been a single design challenge that he's not managed to solve for me. For these reasons I reached out to Arides in 2022 to design a second home in The Bershires. I would recommend his services to anyone and have done so many times over the years."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Federal and Colonial architecture are similar in that they both appear mostly utilitarian and symmetrical, but Federal architecture is a bit more ornate. Federal design often includes decorative palladium windows, window lintels, and, sometimes, columns surrounding a more decorative portico. Inside, Federal architecture is set apart by its centrally-located oval room. Additionally, Federal homes tend to have brick facades, whereas Colonial homes more often have wood siding.

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.

On average, the cost to hire an architect is between $2,200 and $10,500. Hourly rates for professional architects range from $45 to $250 per hour, depending on the architect’s experience level and location.

The cost for architect services vary depending on several factors, including:

  • Location

  • Project type

  • Experience level of the architect

  • Local demand for the architect’s services

  • Overall cost of the project

Depending on what the blueprints are for, a qualified draftsperson, contractor, or architect can draw them up. In some cases, including specialty permitting for a build, you may be required to use a licensed architect. 

In many cases, a blueprint drawn up by a certified professional is required before a city or municipality approves a permit. 

The most idyllic building material that encapsulates the feel of Federal architecture is a brick facade, often with bricks alternating between long side and short side. Palladium and arched transom windows are also prevalent, as are flat, white window lintels. More ornate Federal architecture buildings also include columns on either side of the front door. More important than most of the finer details, though, is the symmetry from the exterior. On the interior, ornate plaster moldings and plaster ceiling medallions are indicative of the style.
