"We met with Wally, showed him the very rough plans we had, discussed our ideas and the vision we had for the end result. He "got it". After a couple of meetings and revisions we had plans that encompassed our ideas with his design knowledge and expertise. It wasn't easy to take an existing structure that couldn't be changed and design a workable, functioning unique interior but Wally was able to do just that. We found him very open and easy to work with. His explanations of what would and wouldn't work were valuable knowledge for us. We would certainly work with Wally again and not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing an architect/designer. "
"It went FANTASTIC! They completely remodeled the interior of my 20 year old home and relandscaped the outdoors. I made a 175% profit on the sale of my home. Very detail oriented and meticulous in the craftsmanship!"
"Amazing, Amazing, Amazing. The cleaning service was great, but there was something extra with Ashelys Touch. My wife and kids were home, and my kids are WILD so basically as Hes cleaning my children were messing it right back up, and He handled it perfectly. Honestly better than I could of done myself. Really really friendly. Would definitely recommend to the Houston area."

Thank you for placing my project in her very capable hands. Forever grateful -Leilee Keppard"
"Steve did an amazing job on our houseplan. We took him our ideas, and he brought them to life. Not only is he an expert at working the plans, he has practical advice to avoid potential disappointments. He pays attention to the smallest detail. He is always open to ideas as well. When we asked for a redesign for the outside, he did a fabulous job changing the style to fit our new build site. We can’t recommend him highly enough!"
The best way to start designing a house is to know what you want before designing. Making a list of your biggest priorities in a home will help. Designing a house without an idea of what you need or want in a home will lead to many trials and errors that could make it harder to figure out what you need in your design.
You can draw your own house plans using three-dimensional modeling software, but in most cases, you’ll need an architect to draw up the final plans. Architects understand local building regulations and requirements, so their plans will be necessary for getting permits approved, and they’ll also ensure your home is structurally sound. DIY house plans can be a good place to start to help visualize your project, but you should always defer to a professional before trying to proceed with the project.
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.
A structural engineer's report provides a professional assessment of a property's structural condition. It typically includes an evaluation of the foundation, key structural elements like roof trusses, floor joists, studs, beams, and rafters. The report will also contain a detailed description of the engineer's findings, often supported by photographs, and provide recommendations to correct any identified issues. Depending on the scope of the inspection, it might also include an assessment of property drainage, potential issues from environmental conditions like extreme weather or tree placement, and an estimated time and cost for any recommended repairs.
Many drafters go on to continue their education and become architects. Drafting is a necessary skill for architects, so learning drafting is often the first step on a path toward becoming a licensed architect. Drafting can also be a career on its own, with plenty of drafters choosing to specialize and focus solely on drafting.
