"I couldn't have expected a better service, and that's after using several engineers in the tri-state for past work. This engineer also goes above and beyond. He is meticulous, honest and very responsive. He was truly a pleasure to deal with. I will absolutely be using him again, and I wholeheartedly recommend him.

"We had 2-3 years of constant road work as a result of storm Sandy (gas line and water line replacement) and there was a crack that expanded over time in the living area on the second floor. We needed to know if it was structural or cosmetic. Anthony arrived on time and began to examine the crack as well as take measurements to determine any significant changes. He was familiar with the land issues in this area, which I appreciated. He explained as he went along and also went to every room in the home and outside for any other evidence of cracks. He was extremely thorough in his inspection and advised how to correct the issue. In addition he also gave tips regarding procedures for any renovations on the property which was extremely helpful. There was a fee for the inspection and an additional fee for a written report. I would definitely hire again if I have any issues."

"We had an amazing experience working with Denny on our home project in Huntington, NY. From the very first consultation, their team listened closely to our ideas and translated them into a beautiful, functional design that exceeded our expectations. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, blending modern style with practical solutions that perfectly fit our family’s needs. The process was smooth from start to finish—professional, responsive, and always clear with communication. What stood out most was their creativity and ability to bring our vision to life while keeping everything on budget and on schedule. The end result is a stunning home that we’re proud to show off and enjoy every day. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-tier residential architecture firm. They truly deliver quality, passion, and craftsmanship."

"Mark Michaels/Great Design, Inc was our first experience working with an architect and the entire process could not have gone better. Mark listened to our ideas and concerns, asked detailed questions and gave thoughtful, creative suggestions and advice about the project - all before we had even signed our contract with him. He then carefully examined and measured the property and kept us updated as the plans took form. The end result is a set of top-notch, professional plans which are currently providing the basis for an amazing renovation."

"I am at the beginning of a complete home renovation and have been working with Steve Scheibly and Diversified Design Associates since day 1. Steve is patient, responsive, has a great eye for design and function and is a wonderful architect. We hired him after several friends and family members worked with him for similar projects and highly recommended him and Diversified. We have had the opportunity to see the work done on those projects and were very impressed by the detail, thoughtfulness and sophistication demonstrated by the final design. We highly recommend Steve and Diversified!"

Architects questions, 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.

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.

Your state’s architect licensing registry is an excellent place to begin when finding an architect. The state must license architects after completing the required education and with a minimum amount of experience. You can also ask other homeowners with similar projects who they used and their experience.

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. 

Costs vary depending on project complexity and scope. Architects generally charge a percentage of the total budget or an hourly rate for their services.
