"I had an addition I wanted for our home. We were required to have a survey and an engineer drawing to apply for the permit. I had a list of 10-15 local engineering companies given to me by the permitting office. Very few would return my call. several the rest said they only do commercial or that this was too small of a job and would cost more. It was taking months and I was frustrated and decided to try Angie’s. I am so pleased. I had a response that very day I inquired for the job. It was clear what was needed from me. Great communication and answered questions to help me get them what they needed. The project from start to finish was drafted within 3 weeks. It could have been done sooner but I was traveling and not able to check emails. Once I told them to text me to alert me of an email they did that. I would highly recommend them."

At R2 Studios Architecture, we help entrepreneurs open Residential Assisted Living (RAL) facilities by providing the architectural plans and compliance documents needed for licensing approval. We focus exclusively on senior living design, which means we understand exactly what cities, the Department of Labor and Industry (DLI), the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), and the Metropolitan Council require for approval. Our process saves time, money, and stress: • Site Assessments – identify issues before inspections. • Architectural Plans – fully code-compliant drawings. • Evacuation Plans – meet MDH and life-safety standards. • Licensing Support – smoother approvals with fewer revisions. We make the licensing journey easier so operators can focus on building successful care homes and serving their residents with confidence.

"Anna has very clear vision on what has to be done. If you ask for recommendations she is all open to share her thoughts."

Locally owned and operated Architecture firm specializing in challenging residential and commercial projects. Brent Holdman has 20+ years of experience in the field of architecture pursuing expertise in all phases of design projects (concept design through certificate of occupancy) and working collaboratively through that process with clients. BHA opened in 2020 and we are excited to work with new clients with challenging projects and budgets. We make quick/clear sketches and 3d models available to you immediately after we rigorously define what your needs are and what options you need to see before making big decisions. New construction is great. But we can help with any phase you are currently in. The best time to bring in an architect, even if only for a consultation, is at the very beginning - much trouble and expense can be avoided that way. We will consult to define your Needs and Options for a small fee - whether or before you choose to hire us for your project.

"We had Design Q&A create plans for our basement remodel for a contractor they often work with and were very happy with the results. Our designer Paul had several good ideas and he was able to provide additional thought and assistance during the actual construction phase which we very much appreciated. The style we were looking for was mid century modern with a bit of a modern twist. It turned out really good."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on project complexity, software requirements, and the draftsperson’s experience.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

Yes, designers collaborate with contractors and engineers to ensure a smooth construction process.

An architect is usually involved in the process of determining the layout and structural features and requirements of the home itself, taking into account the local codes, climate, and materials needed to make the home structurally sound. Architects may communicate more with contractors and subcontractors throughout the building process. In comparison to architects, interior designers typically focus on the aesthetics of a home interior and possibly exterior, helping the homeowner decide on color schemes, textures, and materials to incorporate into the design. 

Yes, architects specialize in both new construction and renovation projects, ensuring that additions blend seamlessly with existing structures while meeting safety standards.
