"Nick and his team are simply too notch! I am always impressed at their design creativity and their ability to translate that into architectural drawings in a timely and professional manner for a fair price. Additionally, Nick and his team are well informed as to current codes and what City permit reviewers are looking for. Once, when the City wanted adjustments, Nick handled it personally and went over and above to help expedite matters. Nick is pleasant to deal with and easy to communicate with. I have recommended him to clients and wouldnâ t utilize anyone else!"

Customers say: Quick response

"We needed someone to go through the city variance process for our build. In the middle of the process our original architect was unable to finish our project and Tate Architectural Design was able to pick up where we left off and complete the job. They were also very easy to reach and helped us every step of the way with any questions we had. I would highly recommend."

Architects questions, answered by experts

The most common scale for residential blueprints is 1/4 of an inch equals one foot. This scale is the most popular because it’s easier for everyone involved, from professionals to homeowners, to understand the building’s actual dimensions. Also, it allows blueprints to have the necessary details without cluttering the page.

While towers and turrets are frequently present in Queen Anne-style houses, these design elements are not necessary for a home to be considered a Queen Anne. Turrets and towers add visual interest and unique interior spaces, but many Queen Anne homes do not contain these features. 

Many drafters go on to continue their education and become architects. Drafting is a necessary skill for architects, so learning drafting is often the first step on a path toward becoming a licensed architect. Drafting can also be a career on its own, with plenty of drafters choosing to specialize and focus solely on drafting.

In the United States, architects must be licensed in all 50 states and the District of Columbia before being allowed to practice or seek business. Licensing requirements vary state-to-state, but overall the architect must be educated, attain a certain level of experience, submit to and pass an examination, and register as an architect. Find out if your architect is licensed using Angi’s contractor licensing search tool. 

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.
