"Andy Carimi is an absolute genius when it comes to architectural design! He recently designed my dream home and my family and I are living in it! We couldn't be any happier with the result. From our very first meeting, Andy listened to my vision, understood my needs, and provided invaluable insights that brought everything to life in ways I hadn't even imagined. His attention to detail, creativity, and ability to blend functionality with aesthetics are truly exceptional. What I really appreciated about working with Andy was how well he listened to me as the client. He made sure to fully understand what I wanted, but he also guided me through the design process in a way that was incredibly helpful. Andy didn't just take my ideas at face value; he helped me see what would work best from a design perspective, offering suggestions and improvements that truly elevated the project. He was never pushy, but his expertise and thoughtful recommendations made all the difference in the final product. Andy worked seamlessly with my Interior Designer and General Contractor. His communication and teamwork ensured that everything went smoothly, with all parties working together to create a cohesive, beautifully designed home. It really was a smooth process. If you're looking for an architect who's both a great listener and an invaluable resource, Andy is the one to work with. I'm beyond thrilled with my home, and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking top-notch design and personalized service. Thank you, Andy, for making my dream home a reality!"

"I had a fantastic experience working with this drafting firm. From the very first phone call, Kirsten?our drafting consultant? was clear, professional, and incredibly helpful. She explained the entire process in detail and made sure all of my questions were answered up front, which gave me immediate confidence in the team. This firm partnered with engineers and architects to get the best quote for me on a stamp for my plans after they did an exceptional job on drawing the prints that met all the requirements for permitting. Their coordination and attention to detail made the process very simple on my end. If you are looking for a highly capable drafting firm that knows how to get things done right, I highly recommend them!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

Consulting the architect of your house is not the best way to determine when it was built. Many homes are built by developers or builders, so there may not be a specific architect to track down—especially if you have a very old house. Instead, it’s best to rely on local government records.

Some homes, like those with flat roofs, may not have eaves at all. Some contemporary-style homes also lack eaves, although many may have abbreviated eaves to divert water and protect the walls and foundation. Homes without eaves often have specific types of gutters affixed directly to the edge of the roof to provide adequate drainage.

In most cases, yes, hiring a draftsperson will be more affordable than the cost of hiring an architect. However, it’s important to note that the reason is because these professionals provide different services. Draftspersons are more affordable because they do more general mock-ups that help align your contractors with your vision for your home renovation project. An architect will provide more detailed drawings that include technical specifications, structural considerations, and even mechanical components, like electrical box and HVAC ductwork placement.

There are differences between universal design and ADA accommodations, but the outcomes are often similar. While universal design is a proactive process that takes a social justice approach to accessibility for all, ADA accommodations are focused specifically on accessibility for individuals living with disabilities. ADA accommodations often take the shape of wider doors and hallways, ramps, elevators, lower counters and sinks, and easy-to-grab door handles; universal design can include these plus emphasize better lighting, tractioned floors, and other building elements that allow all people to use buildings more comfortably.
