"We had Vic do a big landscaping job w/retaining wall and lights in front of our house. He did an AMAZING job! We were all impressed with him and his crew. They were professional, respectful, punctual, reasonably priced and Vic gave me great ideas on how to design the landscaping. It turned out so good! In fact, many of our neighbors have hired him to do their landscaping since they saw what he did with our front yard. The following summer, Vic Completed another wonderful landscaping job on the side of house, garden area. This side is directly facing the street and we had so many people stop and tell us that we had the most beautiful landscaping in the sub…TRUTH!! Next summer, i want Vic to work on the backyard area and put up retaining walls as well…i honestly can’t wait!! I highly recommend Vic!! ?"

Architects questions, answered by experts

Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.

The biggest upside to hiring an architect is that they will ensure an efficient building process without errors. They will also ensure your home is free from structural issues and that everything is up to building code. Many permitting agencies require architects to draw construction plans and layouts before working, so hiring an architect will also ensure your project is legal. Additionally, architects help homeowners have a clear idea of their project details before the project starts. Hence, they help unify all parties on a shared vision for the project.

When conducting space planning, building codes and regulations need to be considered. As long as you are taking them into account and discussing them with the architect, you should be able to do your space planning appropriately.

Structural engineers draw structural plans, which include detailed drawings of the structural components of a home only. Complete house plans will require additional work from an architect or draftsperson, whose drawings will take the structural drawings into account. They’ll also include more details about the finishing materials and layout of a home, including everything from roofing and flooring materials to the position of furniture, light fixtures, switches, and plumbing fixtures.
