"Alaa was honest, dependable, and reliable. My project was very complex and had many moving parts and he was able to deliver and meet my expectations. His pricing is fair and he does not try to take advantage of you as I have seen other Architects do. I will be using ABG in future projects."

"The entire process was very smooth. The architect, Mario, was always responsive, detail-oriented, and easy to work with. His designs are beautiful but practical and we really felt like he listened to what we wanted. The price was very fair and we ended up paying exactly what was agreed to. We highly recommend Casna Design!"

"Dan is quick, efficient, and easy to work with. He took my cobbled together floor plan and turned it into a drawing that my builder could use. I'll definitely use him again if I ever need additional plans."

"Jeff, and his team, have been great to work with. I reached out about landscaping work needed as well as a consult related to drainage issue in the backyard. Jeff responded quickly, set up time to meet, and came out to provide a quote. He is knowledgeable and listened to my concerns and what I wanted to acheive. From there, we scheduled a date to have the work completed - both spring landscaping refresh and drainage work. He was on-site with his crew. The team was punctual, professional, and did great work overall. I'm very optimistic about the drainage solution Jeff put in place as well -- we received heavy rain recently and I noticed a nice improvement already. I'm also using Kale for monthly lawn maintainence. We're about 3-4 weeks in -- and again, the team is doing great work and have kept to their schedule."

"Sergiy and his crew are great! I am remodeling my kitchen and they completed a handful of projects for me. They care about their work quality and are very professional. Sergiy was transparent with what work was being done and the associated costs. I would highly recommend Sergiy and his team!"

"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

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.

While classic Palm Springs architecture in the Palm Springs area will naturally cost more due to the high cost of living, prices across the rest of the country will vary. Remember that older homes, including those built before 1970, will cost more to renovate due to updated building codes—something to keep in mind when considering the upfront cost of the house.

Finding an architect for your project demands looking at the professional’s past work, speaking with prior clients to see what their experience was like, and discussing your project and vision with the expert to see what kind of input they have. Look for an architect that gets excited about your project or has experience with similar projects.

In most cases, yes, hiring a draftsperson will be more affordable than the cost of hiring an architect. However, it’s important to note that the reason is because these professionals provide different services. Draftspersons are more affordable because they do more general mock-ups that help align your contractors with your vision for your home renovation project. An architect will provide more detailed drawings that include technical specifications, structural considerations, and even mechanical components, like electrical box and HVAC ductwork placement.

The best way to start designing a house is to know what you want before designing. Making a list of your biggest priorities in a home will help. Designing a house without an idea of what you need or want in a home will lead to many trials and errors that could make it harder to figure out what you need in your design.
