"Steve and his crew were extremely good to work with. Steve reviewed multiple home projects in person and made suggestions for what things might need repairs to pass inspection. Todd was outstanding in completing projects and his attention to details, work experience, and showing up to complete our jobs was greatly appreciated."

"This group of people are the best crew of professionals that I have had the pleasure of working with in over 45 years of working in the construction industry. I will list just a few outstanding things. The contact was easy for starts. Then I was attended to in a professional manner that gave me the feeling that my project was top priority. The work crew were too notch carpenters and they let me be involved with the whole process. I felt often like I was a crew member. When I had questions there were always a few experienced knowledgeable responses for solutions. I cant wait to have something more for these awesome people to help me git r done"

Architects questions, answered by experts

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.

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.

In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.

You likely need to hire an architect for your new house design and build, unless you have the design skills and experience with building regulations and standards needed to get your plans approved. If you are able to meet the design requirements, you can hire a draftsperson to create the blueprints for the builders to follow.

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.
