Here are some answers to questions that we often get asked.
- What is the difference between an architect and a designer?
In order to hold the title of architect, one has to go through rigorous
schooling, graduate with a nationally accredited degree, intern for
approximately three years under a licensed architect, and then pass a
number of licensing exams. To call oneself a designer, no
professional schooling, training, or licensing is required.
- How do you work with your clients?
We pride the fact that we put our clients first. The
following is a brief description of a "typical" project. After an
initial meeting discussing the project's goals, we start work
designing. We usually present a few different designs to our
clients at the beginning of a project, and based upon our client's
input, we keep refining the design until we reach a solution.
After this, we send the drawings off to the engineers where they
do the necessary member sizing and calculations regarding horizontal
and vertical loading. Upon receiving the engineer's revisions, we
incorporate their drawings into ours and then provide our clients a
completed set of drawings which can then be submitted for building
permits.
If you still have additional questions please feel free to contact us or consult Process - How We Work.
- Do you provide hourly consulting?
Yes, we certainly do. If you are looking for ideas, someone to
talk to regarding a potential project, or just have general questions
regarding your home, please contact us to set up a meeting.
