"Ron listened to our wants and needs and included them within the design. Ron's process of meeting first to gather all pertinent information, doing a preliminary design, reviewing the design with home owners and then completing the design and producing final drawings was extremely efficient. The cost certainly was a reason we went with Ron."

Artios Architects is a small firm offering design services for commercial and residential projects of any size. We offer services on a flat fee or hourly basis with an excellent fee scale. We offer a broad range of services ranging from preliminary design through construction documents and building permits. Artios can manage your project from start to finish including hiring specific engineers if required for your project.

"I do not recommend working with Artios Architects. I initially reached out to Artios Architects to see if they had an architect that would be able to help me with a dormer project. They suggested working with the architect Jose Guzman. We reached out to Jose and had him come by our house to see if the project was something he had the skillset to work on. We agree to work with him, he took measurements of our space, and we were provided with three design ideas. We had no issues up until this point in the project. We selected one of the designs and were informed we may need a structural engineer to help with the project. At this point, Jose’s communication ceased to exist. I inquired multiple times if an engineer was required and it took Jose two weeks to inform us that we would need a structural engineer to complete the design we selected. We were willing to bring an engineer on the project, but neither the architect nor Artios Architects had sufficient connections to identify anyone for the project. While this was unfortunate, the part that was most frustrating was that we were never provided any updates without asking and at some point Jose just stopped responding altogether. I needed to call the firm to determine what was going on with the project and see if there was a reason behind the absence of communication. We were told there were issues finding an engineer and they apologized for the communication issue, however, Jose still did not respond after the call. It became clear that Artios Architects and Jose were not the right people for our project. We had put down a deposit for half the project upfront with an agreement in place for how much each aspect of the project would cost. We told Jose we would pay for the designs but wanted money back for the services not completed. We finally got Jose to respond after many attempts to contact him and he agreed to give us money back for the services he did not perform. We have still not been reimbursed. This is the first bad experience I have had with a contractor found on Angi. Working with Artios Architects and Jose has been a true nightmare and I can only hope no one else has to experience this."

Architects questions, answered by experts

With proper training and experience, reading blueprints is fairly straightforward and not very difficult. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge to interpret the symbols, abbreviations, and other notations used, blueprints may not make sense. Learning to read blueprints can help you understand the construction process and keep you more involved and informed when you’re building a house.

Federal and Colonial architecture are similar in that they both appear mostly utilitarian and symmetrical, but Federal architecture is a bit more ornate. Federal design often includes decorative palladium windows, window lintels, and, sometimes, columns surrounding a more decorative portico. Inside, Federal architecture is set apart by its centrally-located oval room. Additionally, Federal homes tend to have brick facades, whereas Colonial homes more often have wood siding.

The architect you choose to work with should have experience with the type of design you’re interested in, a portfolio of similar projects they’ve completed, and a process and work style that aligns with your expectations. A seasoned architect will be able to provide you with all that information so you can ensure they’re a good fit.

Utilize CAD software for precision, modern design visualization, and alterations.

Hire an architect at the very beginning of your home-building process. An architect’s training and expertise can guide the process from start to finish to ensure you don’t miss or have to redo any important steps. An architect will also provide valuable input on design, materials, and other details right from the beginning.
