"The design was sophisticated, creative, AND within my budget. During the design process different options were considered and refined and resulted in a efficient construction phase with zero delays. Throughout construction I always felt as if Kristi (the Architect) always had my best interest in mind. There were frequent visits and reviews of the quality and completeness of the work and any questions I had were answered quickly. The entire process - from design to completion of construction - was absent any of the drama I have experienced from other construction companies! I give Amethyst Contracting my highest praise and recommend them without hesitation."

"Working with Matthew was an absolute pleasure. He took our ideas about what we saw in our head and was able to implant them onto paper with his design. Matt listened to us on every single detail and aspect that we were looking for but also strategically placed certain things with his artistic and architectural skills and knowledge. It started out with getting a feel for the contours of the land and feeling out where the house " wanted to be" and not necessarily what was the most inexpensive place to put the house. We went through multiple basic drawings together to get a feel for what we wanted. Matt was not afraid to remind us how we would "FEEL" about a certain space if we removed or added something due to cost. His concept of emotive space is inspiring and ultimately led to our beautiful home. Quite specifically we wanted a REAL fireplace and chimney with full stone and mortar and rumford style fireplace. And we wanted it in the middle of the house. Matt described it as the heart of the home and we were able to construct the house around the stone mass. When you walk in the front door you get this feeling of warmth and comfort just gazing at the massive chimney. I think Matt's services are well worth the design fee's that are extremely reasonable and especially when you create the house from scratch. We went from a stout colonial to a warm 2 story cottage. Matt was also with us every step of the way for the bidding process and basically general contracting the project. I am not sure if he is still offering these services but we were able to do all of the legwork for bidding, permits, scheduling, basically of the general contracting needs ourselves. Matt simply provided his licensing and field reports for the Inspections. We were able to save A LOT of money this way and could afford to build our dream home. In short if you want to have a hand's on building experience with an Architect that wants to help you build emotive spaces and not just another house on the block reach out to Matt."

"Hired Tyler Moore architect to design a moderately sized detached garage, 26W x 28 L. I sent Tyler my mock-ups and sketches and he took over to design the garage. Tyler verified all of the zoning, building codes, and other requirements so I would not have any issues building the garage. The garage design was perfect, the garage build is underway August 2026. Tyler pulled permit as well. In addition, a bazillion calls were necessary to Tyler during the garage build to help me wade through the minutiae while the guys were building the garage. Tyler checked even more specs for those questions and provided confirmation for my questions. The cost structure is superb by all means. I ave an additional construction project of an R2 property pending in the next year or two. Tyler will be on board for that project. You may hire Tyler in confidence and be assured of a high quality architectural design for any project. Astounding support before, during, and after. Thank you Tyler again!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

With proper training and experience, reading blueprints is fairly straightforward and not very difficult. If you don’t have the necessary knowledge to interpret the symbols, abbreviations, and other notations used, blueprints may not make sense. Learning to read blueprints can help you understand the construction process and keep you more involved and informed when you’re building a house.

Check reviews, compare quotes, and verify licensing. Ensure the builder has experience with modular construction.

While you will always work with a team of professionals at some point during your home build, homeowners with experience can take on some part of the process. Manage the initial brainstorm, brief writeup, and floor layout phase with minimal assistance before contacting a general contractor. And while you can purchase stock blueprints for some home designs, it's always best to speak with professionals when choosing one ideal for your property.

Building designers charge between $2,000 and $50,000, depending on project scope, complexity, and customization.

Consulting the architect of your house is not the best way to determine when it was built. Many homes are built by developers or builders, so there may not be a specific architect to track down—especially if you have a very old house. Instead, it’s best to rely on local government records.
