"Our project consisted of demolishing an existing 2-car garage and building a two-story 1700 sq ft living quarters in its place with an estimated cost of around $350,000. The project required a licensed architect. I wanted a small firm because I felt a small firm could handle our project and we would get lost in a large firm handling multi-million dollar projects. Kamran Mouzoon Architects fit very well. Kamran developed some concepts and we settled on a direction. Architectural drawings were prepared and Kamran secured the required HOA approval. A Structural Engineering Firm, Surveyor and Geotechnical Engineer where hired. Kamran arranged for the city to make a preliminary review of the project. There was a problem with an obscure provision of the city building codes that required a covered and air-conditioned walkway between the buildings. This was never contemplated in our original plan. Kamran was able to work out a solution and saved the project. The quality of his work is excellent. In the end, we have 20 architectural drawings and 10 structural engineering drawings. As an engineer, I am used to reading drawings and found very few mistakes, none of which were major. Communication with Kamran is excellent. He quickly replies to emails and text messages. Very few problems scheduling review meetings. Kamran is just a very nice person to deal with. With respect to our project, we are still waiting for the city of Houston approval. If a problem does arise, I am confident that Kamran will be able to make any adjustments needed. If this is your first rodeo, be aware that this is a time-consuming part of any project. We started this project around the first of July and hope to have final approval by the first of March (8 months). If we had not had a problem with the walkway we probably would have been done in 6 months. Bottom line, I feel his fees are reasonable given the quantity and quality of work involved. I would not hesitate to hire him."

"In trying to refinance my house, the mortgage company wanted a structural inspection. I hadn't obtained a structural engineer for years and I had no idea what we included or what the cost of an inspection should be. As I didn't THINK there were any structural issues with my property, I really didn't know for sure. AND, what would they be looking for? I spent a couple of hours at least trying to figure out what to expect and what I needed to do to prepare for a dreaded inspection. My brother tried to reassure me that I probably didn't have any issues to worry about - and he should know. He's been a remodeling contractor for the past 25 years! However, I was worried because of the small cracks that had appeared at the tops of several of my windows and above at least one door frame. Two days before FIF was to arrive two very small cracks showed up running perpendicular to the beam and wall. I had already fixed all the cracks in the house (almost assuredly from settling). But these TWO I couldn't just ignore (as my brother had suggested). So, I fixed them and pained the entire two walls upon which they appeared. I must say, I did a good job, too! Anshul from FIF showed up on time. He was very polite and even offered to take off his shoes! I assured him that he needn't take his shoes off. He was very professional and got right to work on the inspection. In a short time (less than an hour), he'd essentially completed his inspection. He invited me outside so that I could see what he was going to suggest for improvements but that didn't rise to the level that needed to be cited on the official report. His suggestions included adding cement diverters/extensions to gutter downspouts and sloping the dirt/lawn away from the house more. That was it! My house did not have any structural issues! I got the report the following day and I was able to close on time! I would not hesitate a moment in hiring FIF again! I also recommend it to anyone who needs a competent engineering inspection at a reasonable cost."

"Richardson Group Construction did a great job on my backyard patio and walkway. The rain runoff from the roof was creating mud all on the ground but thanks to Chris and his team, he was able to install an amazing concrete back patio that runs up to my bar and out far enough to where I can put some chairs facing the backyard. Great work Richardson Group. Thank you."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can finance cottage construction through several options. Construction loans provide funds in stages as work progresses, while home equity loans or lines of credit are available if you have existing property. Some lenders offer a combined construction and permanent mortgage. Always review loan terms and payment milestones before committing.

Universal design costs can be minimal when you add them during construction; however, adding universal design principles to existing homes can sometimes increase renovation costs. For example, a mid-grade bathroom remodel is estimated to cost around $30,000, while a standard universal design remodel can cost closer to $40,000. Adding accessible design components can include widening hallways ($500 to $2,000), curbless showers ($2,000 to $8,000), and widening doors ($400 to $800). Keep in mind that these increased costs can lead to higher resale values because universal homes may appeal to a wider variety of buyers.

You likely need to hire an architect for your new house design and build, unless you have the design skills and experience with building regulations and standards needed to get your plans approved. If you are able to meet the design requirements, you can hire a draftsperson to create the blueprints for the builders to follow.

While classic Palm Springs architecture in the Palm Springs area will naturally cost more due to the high cost of living, prices across the rest of the country will vary. Remember that older homes, including those built before 1970, will cost more to renovate due to updated building codes—something to keep in mind when considering the upfront cost of the house.

Drawing your own floor plans is acceptable for many kinds of projects, including interior design and room layout. You can use floor plan software to create the plans but keep in mind that the floor plan will only be as accurate as the measurements you take and enter into the software.
