"Dennis did an excellent job. He was fast, accommodating (drove a long distance to measure my property, on short notice) and accurate. He was patient, explaining things to me that would help me use the drawings effectively. He recommended additional online tools for me to use to design my furniture layout. I highly recommend him."

"We had 6 different contractors bid on our deck/porch & siding project, and Russell's was a clear standout right from the start. This was a sizeable project for us, and even though Russell's wasn't the cheapest quote we received, project manager Keith did something that completely set them apart: He simply stayed in touch. From start to finish, Keith was communicative, responsive and always made himself available. He listened to us, kept detailed documentation, and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. In just a few short weeks, lead carpenter Todd & his talented team completely transformed our home. Thoughout the process they were friendly, respectful, professional & attentive to every last detail. We are thrilled with the quality of their work, and we couldn't be happier with our decision to work with this company."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Architects bring expertise in spatial design, efficiency, aesthetics, and safety, translating complex needs into feasible, regulatory-compliant design plans.

You have three options in terms of professionals who can draw up blueprints: a draftsperson, an architect, or a structural engineer. A draftsperson can sometimes draw up plans for new construction, but they more often work from approved plans for alterations or to provide 3D drawings. Architects are usually the best option for standard residential construction projects. Structural engineers might be necessary for custom home builds or for alterations that could affect your home’s structural integrity. Draftsmen cost the least of the three, followed by architects and then structural engineers.

Architects often oversee project management to ensure design adherence, coordinate with contractors, and address onsite challenges.

While you will always work with a team of professionals at some point during your home build, homeowners with experience can take on some part of the process. Manage the initial brainstorm, brief writeup, and floor layout phase with minimal assistance before contacting a general contractor. And while you can purchase stock blueprints for some home designs, it's always best to speak with professionals when choosing one ideal for your property.

When planning a new build, meet with an architect as your first step. Architects will often work with specific contractors and can ensure the contractor on your project is qualified and experienced to handle your build. Both the architect and the contractor should be involved with the project from the early stages, but the process may be smoother when you start with an architect.
