"Pat has designed a number of homes of which I have lived in or have built for sale. Along with the structural engineer, everything worked well as planned. I can say for sure the design department is a real value as I have built other architect, drawn homes that cost much more to build not to mention the design fees. Pat has the experience , and the eye to design any type of build . DB now retired homebuilder."

Customers say: Quick response

"We had never worked with a landscape architect before so I wasn't really sure how it all worked. I have to say Bruce was great to work with. My initial meeting with Bruce was brief and I wasn't sure what to think. My husband and I then had 2 other meetings where Bruce showed us some preliminary drawings and together we came up with a design. It was a very easy process and we are really excited to get started with our project. Thanks Bruce!"

"Artistic Landscape transformed the area in front of our house from a sad flowerbed into a lovely paver stone seating area. We love it and we love working with Artistic Landscape to make our ideas into reality!"

"We hired Dluxe Construction LLC to re-design our kitchen. Great experience from beginning to end. My kitchen looks amazing, thanks to professional installers. They were VERY helpful, prompt, courteous, and worked neatly. If you're having any remodeling, I'd say you should contact Dluxe Construction LLC that they do your work. If I could give them more stars, I absolutely would."

"Job took two weeks end to end. The job was complex and involved tree removal, demolition, and then construction. Alex let us know what to expect and raised issues and decisions in an efficient manner. Noe and Gildardo were punctual, hard working, and took great pride in their work They worked through some wet and nasty weather and it didnt slow them down. The precision stone cutting they performed to build the wall properly really made a difference. The end result is amazing and we are very happy with the result."

"the work was completed ahead of schedule.  It is more solidly constructed than we expected and attractive in appearance.  Water runoff was redirected to house drainage system effectively.  We could not be happier with the completed work.  Communication with the company owner was always informative and his crew was excellent.  They completed the construction with no disruption of existing landscaping.  We highly recommend this company

"Kimiya and Jay were a pleasure to work with in every way. Their communication was outstanding, from our first planning meeting to the clear project estimate to scheduling over the course of several weeks. They understood our needs and budget, and delivered on both. The quality of Jay's work (outdoor painting, electrical, window replacement, and finish carpentry) was top-notch. My husband and I work from home, and Jay took care to minimize any disruption and clean up thoroughly. He even resolved a persistent roof leak that two roofing companies could not find or fix. We look forward to scheduling our next projects with Mass Design Build."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Architects can cater to both residential and commercial projects, tailoring their approach according to the specific sector regulatory requirements.

Structural engineers draw structural plans, which include detailed drawings of the structural components of a home only. Complete house plans will require additional work from an architect or draftsperson, whose drawings will take the structural drawings into account. They’ll also include more details about the finishing materials and layout of a home, including everything from roofing and flooring materials to the position of furniture, light fixtures, switches, and plumbing fixtures.

An architect is usually involved in the process of determining the layout and structural features and requirements of the home itself, taking into account the local codes, climate, and materials needed to make the home structurally sound. Architects may communicate more with contractors and subcontractors throughout the building process. In comparison to architects, interior designers typically focus on the aesthetics of a home interior and possibly exterior, helping the homeowner decide on color schemes, textures, and materials to incorporate into the design. 

It is technically possible to draw your own blueprints, but the process is extremely involved and really demands help from an expert. A professional architect has an understanding of design elements, interior design, the functionality of different rooms in a home, and how everything from furniture, outlets, and light switches should be laid out to serve you and your family best. Hiring an architect for blueprints can get expensive, but it’s the most responsible way to begin a new construction project. If you’re keen on DIYing, you could consider starting the process and then having a professional take over.

You should have an architect involved in your project from the very beginning. They’ll be able to direct your vision into workable plans, and they can advise you on potential problems right from the start. You may be able to save money by not using an architect, but larger projects will go much more smoothly with an experienced pro directing the process.
