"Dave was a game changer for us. I had previously hired a different architect, who would miss deadlines and take multiple days to deliver the updates to the design. Now working with O'Brien Custom Home Designs it has been a 180-degree change. Dave delivers or beats his target delivery dates, provided a very sound plan for the home (he improved the previous architect's work) -- both exterior and interior look great for our lake home. I plant to hare O'Brien Custom Home Designs for my next project. I highly recommend."

"I've worked with many architects and David Lawson outshined them all. He asked great questions and was not bossy and did not try to push his ideas on me. But a lot of his ideas were fantastic. Nice having an idea person to really help us move along and get a great home plan."

"Elite Arborist went above and beyond to seeing my landscaping needs were met! Allow me to jumped at the chance to write an honest review showcasing this company’s dedication and attention to customer detail. Carlos took pride in ensuring the highest quality materials were used to beautify our home! He was particularly eager to reflect/incorporate my wife’s personal creative touch while professionally enhancing the natural outdoor space of our dreams. ELITE ARBORIST was also generous in allowing me a grace period to pay in full with three weekly installments. Finally, my wife adds, “Thank you for your meticulous care in our lawn installation. Suggesting the flower bed detail reflects your dedication and skills.” Jas Jam"

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

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.

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.

In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.

Designing a building takes 2-6 months, depending on project size, required permits, and revisions.

Depending on what the blueprints are for, a qualified draftsperson, contractor, or architect can draw them up. In some cases, including specialty permitting for a build, you may be required to use a licensed architect. 

In many cases, a blueprint drawn up by a certified professional is required before a city or municipality approves a permit.
