"Keegan is a true artisan. I hired him to build a dry stacked stone retaining wall and he built the most beautiful and carefully crafted wall that far exceeded my expectations. It's now one of my favorite parts of my property. He was quick to respond when I reached out, showed up when he said he would, and he was very easy to communicate with. He charged a fair price, was very kind and friendly, and he left my property spotless when he finished. We absolutely plan to work with him again next time we need a project done."

"All the work was completed above expectations. Very hard workers and an owner who clearly takes pride in his business and the service they provide. The owner is very knowledgeable and has great vision for how the yard could look. Cost was reasonable, as well. My wife and I could not be happier with the results and will be using The Garden Experience for future projects."

"We used Lucas Architecture for the design of our new house. Jennifer was a great architect to work with! We told her exactly what we wanted, she told us a time frame to have the preliminary prints for us and kept her word. She kept in contact throughout the entire process constantly updating us and asking questions, providing helpful hints or ideas, and making sure she was on the correct path to what we really wanted. She then sent over the prints and asked us to review. We had a phone call with her to tell her what we liked, didn't, and things we talked through to make the plans better. She then worked to finish the plans and is now working with my building inspector to make sure everything is good. She has very fair prices for the quality of work she is doing and I would recommend her to anyone needing architecture work!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

Building a house without blueprints is not advised. It will prevent you from obtaining necessary building permits and meeting building codes and is likely to result in shoddy construction and unsafe living conditions. Detailed blueprints ensure that a house is built to exact specifications and is constructed safely and structurally stable.

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

The various types of architects can be broken down into eight distinct categories, but there can be specific specialties within each of them. Most homeowners will work with a residential, restoration, green, interior, landscape, or retrofit architect for projects. There are also lighting and commercial architects whose work is geared more toward large spaces and businesses.

When planning a new build, meet with an architect as your first step. Architects will often work with specific contractors and can ensure the contractor on your project is qualified and experienced to handle your build. Both the architect and the contractor should be involved with the project from the early stages, but the process may be smoother when you start with an architect.

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 general contractor or homebuilder typically oversees the actual details of building the house that the architect designs.
