"Mr. Vaughn was recommended to me by a friend I trust, so I called the number given to me. Within about 90 seconds talking to Mr. Vaughn, I began to realize I was in way over my head. I have a feeling Mr. Vaughn knew I was in over my head in about 10 seconds, yet still treated me with dignity and respect. Mr. Vaughn was able to take a flood of information, and after asking a few questions, he designed the forever home of my dreams. (Seriously - that master bathroom is so amazing, I may never leave!) This is a house I can grow old with (which was the intent). Through it all, Mr. Vaughn was gracious, patient, kind, and knowledgeable. He took a flood of questions and walked me through the questions, making sure I understood what I was asking AND providing documentation from all points of view, allowing me to make up my own mind. He's been invaluable throughout this whole process, and I cannot imagine anyone else putting up with me, and still delivering the highest quality work."

Patterson ✩ Architects is a progressive architectural firm recognized for its focus on accomplishing successful design solutions for clients within budget and time constraints. The combined experience represented in our professional team includes years of experience in the areas of programming, site and facilities planning, interior design, single and multi-family residential design, additions to and renovations of existing structures, commercial and institutional design, design/build, project management, and energy conservation involving private, municipal, educational, and governmental projects. We have no preconceived solutions that tend to hinder a design firm's ability to respond to a program, and we know how to listen, appreciate, analyze, and respond to a Client's requirements. With a strong desire to provide quality design and a successful project, we recognize the critical need for open and thorough communications between all parties involved in the project. All members of our Design Team are highly skilled at determining, understanding, and responding to project criteria. In analyzing specific project requirements, we retain additional architectural, engineering, and equipment consultants as required to provide "state of the art" expertise in searching out concepts, offering viable alternatives, and striving for a solution which meets the critical criteria of economy, function, and aesthetics. We have had a close working relationship with our engineers and feel that their philosophies integrate with ours to produce flexible, functional, energy-efficient facilities. Accuracy and responsibility in the production of design documents, punctual time schedules, and excellent client relations are recognized as critical elements in producing quality architecture. Individuals in our organization have been involved as programmers, planners, project managers, and project architects for various building projects while employed by Patterson ✩ Architects and other firms prior to joining the firm. Our firm's gross billings have grown with each year. This year promises to be equally successful as we continue to work with school districts, governmental entities, and private clients in acquiring more significant commissions. We pride ourselves in a diverse project base and have never sought to specialize in any particular building type. We are confident that our Design Team is well qualified with the ability to provide the professional services that you desire, but more importantly, we sincerely desire the opportunity to prove the value of those services to you and your project representatives.

While you might think that architects only draw blueprints for buildings, they are much more involved in the overall construction process than you might realize. While they aren’t the ones swinging the hammers, architects do the following:
Communicate with the homeowner on the project request, including assistance when exact plans aren’t known
Develop computer-aided models and blueprints of the requested design
Ensure that the design incorporates form, function, and safety features
Provide the contractor with the agreed-upon design
Supervise the general contractor and any subcontractors throughout the project
Communicate any needed changes to the project with the homeowner and draw new plans accordingly
Before settling on and hiring an architect, it’s beneficial to you as a homeowner to ask some questions to familiarize yourself with their work. After all, you wouldn’t want to spend time and resources on a professional that doesn’t specialize in exactly what you want in a house. Some questions to ask your architect include:
How do you charge for services? Is it on an hourly basis, based on square footage, or based on project size?
How do we work together to stay on budget for this project?
Do you anticipate any future challenges with this project? How are these communicated?
What is your project management style? If you are not handling the day-to-day details, who is my point of contact?
Can I see previous similar projects that you’ve completed?
Do you have any specialty experience, like working on historic homes or using sustainable building materials?
The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200.
The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour.
After you’ve spoken with your contractor and agreed on a project, they’ll draw up blueprints, or plans, that the construction crew will use. The blueprint process can take between four and six months to complete. While this can seem like a long time, remember that the architect must communicate with your municipality to determine codes, communicate with you as the homeowner with any changes or adjustments, and coordinate with the construction crew.
If you simply remodel your home or add an addition, the time to draw up the plans will be shorter since fewer permits and surveys are required. Even still, it’s best to plan for a few months for the architect to complete this part of the project.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
