"Architects Builder Group was incredibly helpful, walking me through the typical process I had for the conversion of a two-unit home to a third-unit home. Alaa was quickly responsive and provided professional and very detailed answers to my questions. Alaa is very knowledgeable about city code, zoning, and legal requirements. Very professional and passionate in his trade! I recommend ABG for any consulting and Architectural needs!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Mario Castillo-Navia of CASNA Design on the design for a residential renovation project. This is the first time I have worked with an architect, and it has been a very positive experience. From the very beginning, Mario impressed me with his professionalism, attention to detail, and creative vision. Throughout the project, Mario was available to answer questions and address any concerns that arose. His communication skills were excellent, and he always kept me informed of progress. He kept the project on track and within budget. What really stood out to me, however, was Mario's design expertise. He was able to take my ideas and turn them into something truly functional. His ability to balance aesthetic appeal with practicality was truly impressive, and once construction is complete the result will be a space that exceeds my expectations in every way. Overall, I would highly recommend Mario to anyone looking for a talented, creative, and professional architect. Thank you, Mario, for your excellent work!"

"They did a great job! My roof looks great! Reliable and kept me well informed about everything. They kept cost in mind and cleaned up nicely after themselves. Serge even came out late to tarp the roof until it could get repaired so that I didnâ t have any further damage to the house waiting for the roof. They were very nice to work with. Great people. I canâ t say enough good things about them!"

"Jose did a great job with our project. He was quick to respond to my request, coming out on the same day to provide a quote. We have a fairly large yard (+1 acre) and work spanned multiple days. Work was performed as communicated and hedge trimmings were bagged without disturbing our mulch and hauled off after he was complete. Will be using his services again and recommend."

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

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.

You can draw your own house plans using three-dimensional modeling software, but in most cases, you’ll need an architect to draw up the final plans. Architects understand local building regulations and requirements, so their plans will be necessary for getting permits approved, and they’ll also ensure your home is structurally sound. DIY house plans can be a good place to start to help visualize your project, but you should always defer to a professional before trying to proceed with the project.

If your project is complex, it may make sense to hire an architect to draw plans. An architect might also be a good person to hire if you want to ensure your plans adhere to building codes and regulations.

Universal design costs can be minimal when you add them during construction; however, adding universal design principles to existing homes can sometimes increase renovation costs. For example, a mid-grade bathroom remodel is estimated to cost around $30,000, while a standard universal design remodel can cost closer to $40,000. Adding accessible design components can include widening hallways ($500 to $2,000), curbless showers ($2,000 to $8,000), and widening doors ($400 to $800). Keep in mind that these increased costs can lead to higher resale values because universal homes may appeal to a wider variety of buyers.

Yes, integrating sustainable practices and energy efficiency into plans is common.
