Q: Do architects build houses?

• <div><p>Typically, architects do not build homes in a hands-on sense of doing the actual framing, roofing, or other building. Architects usually do not have the training and experience to build the homes they design. An architect would need to know how to do the specific trades required to build a house, which is possible but not a common practice. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-hire-a-general-contractor.htm">general contractor</a> or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to move a house or build one?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s typically more cost-effective to move a building along with its accessories than to demolish and rebuild it from scratch. However, that&rsquo;s only if you can move the accessories without damaging them. However, if you plan to demolish the accessories anyway, it is advisable to do so before the move to save costs.</p></div>

Q: Are there sustainable options for building home additions?

• <div><p>Yes, such as using eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient designs for long-term savings.</p></div>

Q: Do home builders need to be licensed?

• <div><p>Yes, home builders need to be licensed in every state and municipality in the country. The specific license required varies based on the location and the work, but most states require that the builder hold a general contractor&rsquo;s license at minimum. Some states and cities also require that plumbing, electrical, roofing, and sewage system construction require individual licenses, in which case the builder may subcontract the work. You can use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor licensing tool</a> to confirm that the builder you&rsquo;re considering holds all the proper licenses.</p></div>

Q: Why are houses built with crawl spaces?

• <div><p>The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They&rsquo;re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they&rsquo;re at less of a risk of freezing.</p></div>
