What do architects actually do?

Have you ever wondered what architects actually do? It's a common misconception that our role is limited to "drawing up" plans or making pretty pictures...

 

...the truth, however, is just a BIT more broad!

 

Here are just a handful of things architects do to help their clients:

  • Uncovering Your Vision
    Architects work with you to understand your goals, needs, and requirements for your dream home, transforming them into a tangible vision that aligns with your unique lifestyle.

  • Site Analysis and Wholistic Design
    Whether you're starting from scratch or working with an existing property, architects help you choose the perfect location and perform in-depth analyses to ensure your home harmoniously integrates with the environment while meeting zoning and regulatory requirements.

  • Team Coordination
    Architects bring together a team of professionals - such as contractors, engineers, landscape architects, and interior designers, to work in harmony towards your dream home's realization.

  • Navigating Regulatory Waters 
    Architects help navigate the complex process of obtaining approvals from municipal agencies and review boards, ensuring your project complies with all necessary regulations.

  • Yes, we also create drawings!
    Architects provide detailed plans, 3D models, and specifications that help convey to contractors the aesthetic and technical expectations for the project.

  • Problem Solving
    Architects collaborate closely with the entire construction team, swiftly addressing any questions or issues that may arise without compromising the design intent, keeping your project on track.

 

At the end of the day, architects are involved in nearly every aspect of the planning, design, and construction of your dream home - but we don't do it alone! Even the smallest of projects require a team of skilled folks, and we'll help you assemble that team to make sure everything comes together.
