Myth #2: An architect is an unaffordable luxury. I can’t afford one

This is the biggest misunderstanding about architects. Architect's fees are not just an added cost on top of project costs. We can work to your budget and save you money in many ways. We will negotiate to get the best materials and service for the best price. More importantly, we will design to reduce the life costs of energy consumption and maintenance, which add up to many times the purchase price of a home over the years.  We spend time planning ahead and developing your ideas fully, in order to anticipate and solve problems before they come to fruition, avoiding costly changes during construction.
