Why Hire an Architect?

Whether you are about to expand your current facility, adapt an existing building for a new use or construct a new building entirely, your project represents a large investment that will affect your home or business for years to come.  There are so many factors that need to be taken into account such as design, building codes, zoning laws, structural safety, contractors and so on.  Where do you begin?   As soon as you decide to build or modify something new, call an architect!  An architect can help merge your requirements with a design that is aesthetically appealing and cost effective.

AIA Architects

Keep your eye out for AIA after the Architect’s name.  This signifies that they are a member of the American Institute of Architects, thus they are held to higher standards than a non AIA architect.  They remain current with professional standards through continuing education.
