"I was very impressed with their honesty and candor. They made a number of recommendations regarding my project. They had more experience with drawing 2 D floor plans and I needed 3D SolidWorks drawings for my project. I took their advice and am very happy that I did. I hired from a list of draftsmen recommended by another company representative for Utah. I would not have found the perfect fit without the help of the staff at Creations West."

"They were wonderful! They worked hard and were very careful not to harm electrical wiring and Yard Light. I would hire them again. In fact, I plan to have them repair our sprinkler system in April this year!"
"Franklin is the nicest hardest working man I have ever met. He did everything by hand and was on site everyday. He did my retaining walls, grass, sprinkler system, landscaping and fire pit with pavers. He also did my vinyl fencing. His prices were half of my other quotes. I have a half acre. I will use him again in the future."
"I hired them to create plans for an apartment building. The process was quick and painless. Cost was good. The plans are full complete abd ready to take to builders for quotes. I will definitly use them again."
"1 day cleared ALL the alfalfa covering the 1/2 acre Back yard. Even removed the concrete slab that's been there since 2006. Didn't overcharge us. YEAH! Even removed (tiller & bobcat) the wildflowers (actually mostly weeds) section of my weed infested 'garden', left the 4 producing tomato plants. The fixed feral cat stayed either in the garage or BY in spite of all the noise and dust."
New constructions, renovations, and interior layouts benefit from expert drafting.
It is technically possible to draw your own blueprints, but the process is extremely involved and really demands help from an expert. A professional architect has an understanding of design elements, interior design, the functionality of different rooms in a home, and how everything from furniture, outlets, and light switches should be laid out to serve you and your family best. Hiring an architect for blueprints can get expensive, but it’s the most responsible way to begin a new construction project. If you’re keen on DIYing, you could consider starting the process and then having a professional take over.
Hiring a contractor with knowledge about historic renovations and reviewing their previous work is important. You can find a historic home renovation contractor by calling your local historic preservation office, historical society, or any local historic museums nearby. The staff may have suggestions for specialized contractors who have worked for them. You can also ask them about historic home restorations that you have seen and liked in your area to get recommendations for pros.
Costs vary depending on project complexity and scope. Architects generally charge a percentage of the total budget or an hourly rate for their services.
A home elevator is a fantastic way to improve your home’s accessibility. Elevators allow anyone, even those who use wheelchairs or walkers, to safely move between floors within your home.
Dumbwaiters may allow you to move items up and down floors, and stair lifts can move people up and down, but elevators are the best option if you need space for people, their belongings, and/or mobility aids such as wheelchairs.
That said, home elevators cost more than other options, such as stair lifts. Consider your needs and your budget when deciding the best way to make your home more accessible to a person with a disability or a person who is aging in place.
