A frequently asked questions you should read through before hiring someone to start on your project


Start designing/ planning your project with an ARCHITECT who has the knowledge, vision and creativity


Do NOT let a contractor, civil or structure engineer handle this phase

A: Yes, I am licensed architect in the state of California

Make sure your architect is LICENSED, not just a designer or drafter

We - unfortunately - take over too many projects that designers/ drafters can not follow through

"It is a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not less than one hundred dollars ($100) nor more than five thousand dollars ($5,000), or by imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding one year, or by both that fine and imprisonment, for any person who is not licensed to practice architecture"

3. Are you doing it as a full time job, or moonlighting it?

Make sure your architect or engineer is doing it as a full time job, Not moonlighting or doing it as a side job. That simply means he/ she won't answer you during daytime when you/r contractor need prompt response/ urgent questions during construction which saves you time & money.

ALSO READ "California Labor Law" before you engage with someone who is working as full-time employee in any other governamental or private agency and moonlighting your project

A: Yes, we have a lot of very good references and we are well known in many cities and counties

Make sure - before you set your foot - to ask people about your potential architect, and his deliverables and designs will meet your expectations

5. Why should I hire or pay proffesional architect, what are architects doing other than just drawing some lines?

A: Well, Let's get this clear, There's so much expertize - other than drafting - involved in this terrific profession

In each of these cases, you as a client aren’t paying for a single item or product. Your architect doesn’t hand you a set of blueprints, cash a check, and move onto the next customer. Instead, you’re paying for the architect’s time, experience, expansive industry knowledge, guidance, and creative thinking capabilities during the complicated process of design, documentation, and construction. All of these things factor into an architect’s fee.

A: Our target is to control the actual construction cost, saving you time and effort coordinating between diffirent disiplines, spending time to fit your wish-list into your budget, we are always avilable to answer your questions and e-mails, our fast tunraround time replying on any comments or corrections, Instant response to your contractor's RFI to avoid construction delays, we directly contact inspectors if there's anything required addendums, helping you filling out any application, guiding you through the whole process until you see your project becomes real, and many other aspects that give value to our quote FAR outweighs the price we charge

A: I really wish you a good luck with the other architect

8- Our architect has disappered and took our money, what can we do?

A: Most likely he is not a licensed person, and unfortunately we can't help in that matter.

9- We received comments from the city, but our architect doesn't want to work with us anymore, can you revise his plans, take care of the city commnets, and resubmit?

If he is a licensed architect, yes we can, just get a release letter from him and we will be evaluating the plans and give you a quote, but if he is a drafter, Unfortunately we won't work based on his plans, but we can redo it from scratch

You may pay a little more for a well designed, fully detailed and coordinated set of plans, but you'll save a lot in the materials, during construction, saving time, and accordingaly lower overall project cost
