Your Way Contractors: Has the skilled professionals to do everything you need in-house from planning and design, construction, installation, and finishing of all details. Our creative and sophisticated thinking, combined with in-depth knowledge of city codes and building regulations are essential to designing to the maximum potential of your space and finishing the job in a timely manner.

"I am thrilled to express my utmost satisfaction with the recent Japanese-style bath renovation completed by Your Way contractors. The entire experience, from the initial consultation to the final touches, was nothing short of exceptional. We had our basement done with them more than a decade ago. I was and have been so happy with the outcome I have kept its name on my contact list. The contractors seamlessly integrated essential features like a deep soaking tub, its unique layout, carefully selected tiles, and ambient lighting (completed by their attentive electrician) and brought a unique blend of cultural sensitivity and technical expertise to the project. Throughout the process, Gene’s team maintained open communication, ensuring that every decision aligned with my vision for the space. Their collaborative approach, combined with their skillset, knowledge, and experience made the entire project smooth and enjoyable. Ryan, our main contractor, worked tirelessly to make sure that every detail was rectified to my satisfaction. He is a highly skilled contractor himself but his professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine concern he showed us was so remarkable that I was so impressed by every step of the project. Not to mention how delightful he was as a communicator. When a challenge arose during the tile installation phase and the subcontractor fell short of my expectations, Gene, the owner, recognizing that the tile work did not meet the high standards the company upholds, personally stepped in to rectify the situation, dedicating days of his labor to ensure my complete satisfaction. Their commitment to superbness and attention to detail truly transformed my vision into a serene and aesthetically pleasing Japanese-inspired sanctuary. I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a contractor who not only stands behind their work but goes above and beyond to ensure a positive customer experience. Sincerely, Kiyomi Hubert"

FAQs for architectural service projects in Newark, NJ

While you might think that architects only draw blueprints for buildings, they are much more involved in the overall construction process than you might realize. While they aren’t the ones swinging the hammers, architects do the following: 

  • Communicate with the homeowner on the project request, including assistance when exact plans aren’t known

  • Develop computer-aided models and blueprints of the requested design

  • Ensure that the design incorporates form, function, and safety features

  • Provide the contractor with the agreed-upon design

  • Supervise the general contractor and any subcontractors throughout the project

  • Communicate any needed changes to the project with the homeowner and draw new plans accordingly

Before settling on and hiring an architect, it’s beneficial to you as a homeowner to ask some questions to familiarize yourself with their work. After all, you wouldn’t want to spend time and resources on a professional that doesn’t specialize in exactly what you want in a house. Some questions to ask your architect include: 

  • How do you charge for services? Is it on an hourly basis, based on square footage, or based on project size?

  • How do we work together to stay on budget for this project?

  • Do you anticipate any future challenges with this project? How are these communicated?

  • What is your project management style? If you are not handling the day-to-day details, who is my point of contact? 

  • Can I see previous similar projects that you’ve completed?

  • Do you have any specialty experience, like working on historic homes or using sustainable building materials?

The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200

The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour. 

After you’ve spoken with your contractor and agreed on a project, they’ll draw up blueprints, or plans, that the construction crew will use. The blueprint process can take between four and six months to complete. While this can seem like a long time, remember that the architect must communicate with your municipality to determine codes, communicate with you as the homeowner with any changes or adjustments, and coordinate with the construction crew. 

If you simply remodel your home or add an addition, the time to draw up the plans will be shorter since fewer permits and surveys are required. Even still, it’s best to plan for a few months for the architect to complete this part of the project.

Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
