Architect for Designing Your Space

Architects

If you’re tackling a major remodeling project, you’ll likely require construction drawings and blue prints to procure permits and include in contracts.

A professionally trained architect who has experience in remodeling is best suited for this work.  If you’re considering knocking out walls to make your kitchen bigger, you need a structural architect to ensure you don’t inadvertently bring down your roof!

Interior Designers

Designers

If you’re having difficulty finding an architect who will take on a smaller project, you can also have construction drawings done by a certified or licensed designer. Designers often specialize in certain types of projects.
If you can find someone with expertise in the area you’ll be remodeling, such as a kitchen or bath, you should be in good hands.

Building Contractors

Design/Build Contractors

Hiring a design/build firm is the way to go if you want to avoid hiring various contractors over the course of a remodeling project. Since these firms offer both design and construction services, they enable homeowners to contract and work with just one company that will take care of all aspects of the project, from beginning to end.

It’s important to remember, whenever hiring any type of contractor, to make sure they are an experienced professional who can provide references and samples of work.
