"So I was caught in a bind.  My project was stopped by the village since my contractors were working without a permit.  Not knowing where else to go, I looked on Angie's list and found Lou at Tiderunner Engineering.  I explained to him my situation, and he was very understanding as I told him we had an architect that for some reason just stopped returning our calls, etc, and that I needed a set of floor plans to get the permit.  He came over the next day, and did a set of floor plans, with some structural changes as we knocked down a wall, and also was looking to adjust the beam structure in the kitchen.  Lou suggested using LVL headers, both flush and drop headers to support the structure of the house and prevent sagging.  If it wasn't for Lou, my contractors would have just left the work they were doing without the proper support, so thanks Lou!

After it was submitted, the building inspector, came back with a bunch of changes, and Lou explained to me that she was looking for a full set of construction plans.  This took me by surprise, but Lou was very accommodating.  He made the changes per the inspectors request, and the plans were finally approved and I could have my house renovated. Yaay!  If it wasn't for Lou, I don't know if another architect would have been as accommodating and have the same attention to detail that Lou did.

In addition to this work, we were looking to redo our driveway, and he was able to create a set of driveway plans, including structural support, drywells, piping, all in accordance to our village code.  We plan on undertaking that project in the next few months but I'm happy with how the plans came out, and look forward to the finished result."

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

While possible for small projects, professional designers ensure compliance with building codes and structural integrity.

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.

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.

An architect plans and designs new construction and alteration projects. They often provide sketches for homes, office buildings, shopping malls, and other structures.

The country's most famous Neoclassical architecture appears in major government buildings and college campuses. The White House is unmistakably the most famous example, though the Capitol Building and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello are also iconic uses of the design.
