I provide residential structural engineering services to both homeowners and home improvement contractors. These services include plan preparation, design of structural members, structural evaluations of existing buildings, review of plans prepared by others, design of sanitary systems and on site drainage systems if necessary. All work is done by me, a registered professional engineer in New York, and I also conduct inspections and evaluations.
"Was Awful. Measurment's were off. Plans were incomplete. After he measured the rooms, we had to remeasure the rooms ourselves and send them to him. I then had to go to his house to pick up the plans. I submitted the plans at which time I was told that I needed to get then done again by a professional. Held up the construction by several weeks. Save your money. Do not use Lou."

Ambassador Home Improvement has been recognized as a top renovation and construction company by many homeowners on Long Island. One main reason is that we are one of the few residential contracting companies on Long Island with an "all in-house" team of professionals. Another is due to the value our clients receive in cost, quality of materials and turnaround time. Contact us today for a free consultation.
"Writing this review nearly 5 years after the initial work by Ambassador and going through subsequent tradespeople who were infinitely more professional, honest, thorough and thoughtful. We clearly got the C team, maybe even the D team from Ambassador, so word to the wise, if you want to be treated like 1 in 20 jobs, this company is the right one for you. From most recent to oldest: - Recently had our siding replaced and the siding guy said that the bathroom window Ambassador installed was the biggest hack job he’s ever seen and to never let them in our house again. - Poor grout and calking led to a leak below in our first floor kitchen. - Vented the bathroom fan by literally nailing a hanger to my attic ceiling and aiming the duct out of my attic fan - Used an accordion drain pipe instead of actual pvc plumbing (I kid you not) - Failed to actually test that the new shower head worked, so when we turned on the shower the first time and saw that it was leaking, I had to remove the shower head and put plumbers tape on pipe. That’s all I can remember for now, but I’m sure we’ll continue to find things along the way. I wouldn’t let these guys back in my house for a free bathroom. A 2 week job took 5 weeks...nothing like the C team."

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.
