Q: How much does it cost to hire a building designer?

• <div><p>Building designers charge between $2,000 and $50,000, depending on project scope, complexity, and customization.</p></div>

Q: Who do I hire for drawing up blueprints?

• <div><p>You have three options in terms of professionals who can draw up blueprints: a draftsperson, an architect, or a structural engineer. A draftsperson can sometimes draw up plans for new construction, but they more often work from approved plans for alterations or to provide 3D drawings. Architects are usually the best option for standard residential construction projects. Structural engineers might be necessary for custom home builds or for alterations that could affect your home&rsquo;s structural integrity. Draftsmen cost the least of the three, followed by architects and then structural engineers. </p></div>

Q: Do architects need to be licensed or certified?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">contractor licensing search tool</a>. </p></div>

Q: How does universal design differ from ADA accommodations?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can an architect help with renovations and expansions?

• <div><p>Yes, architects specialize in both new construction and renovation projects, ensuring that additions blend seamlessly with existing structures while meeting safety standards.</p></div>
