What is included in your architectural design services?
Our architectural design services cover everything from initial concept development to detailed construction plans. We handle space planning, layout design, 3D renderings, material selection, and permit drawings. Our team ensures a seamless and well-thought-out design process, to make your home renovation as smooth as possible.
How long does the design process take?
The timeline depends on the scope of your project. Our structured approach keeps things timely and efficient. We’ll provide you with a detailed schedule during the initial consultation.
Can you help me visualize the design before construction starts?
Yes! We create detailed architectural drawings and 3D renderings so you can have a realistic idea of how your space will look before any work begins. Our visualizations help refine details and allow us to make confident design decisions.
Will there be unexpected costs during the renovation?
• Structural surprises: Upon starting the renovations, certain hidden issues may arise, like water damage, mold, or weak framing.
• Changes to the original design plans: Adjustments to materials or layouts mid-project can impact the budget.
• Code compliance: Older homes may require electrical, plumbing, or structural updates to meet current building regulations.
• Permit and inspections delays: Delays or additional requirements from local authorities can add unexpected costs.
• Fluctuation in material prices: Market fluctuations can affect the cost of materials between planning and execution.
While we work diligently to avoid any challenges, we maintain open and transparent communication to ensure that all changes are managed effectively. Here are some potential situations that may present unforeseen costs:
Can I make changes once the project has started?
Yes, you can. It is important to keep in mind that changes may impact the timeline of the project and the budget. We’ll guide you through the decision-making process and provide clear updates on how adjustments may affect the project scope.
