For home projects, not always, but most projects benefit from having one. If your project affects code compliance, layout, or structure, an architect can help avoid costly mistakes and help you move forward with confidence. An architect can make the process smoother for all involved.
I help homeowners with all kinds of home projects (additions, renovations, garages, finished basements, porches/decks, and more). If you have an existing home and want to make improvements, that is typically where I can help.
That is completely normal, if not common. Many homeowners start with an idea before it becomes a fully formed plan. We help to turn that idea into a reality.
That is a great starting point. We can use those sketches to transform them into the drawings you need.
