My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Typical Job Cost

$20,000 - 120,000

Architectural fees aren't one-size-fits-all—we scale our scope to yours. A 4,000 sq ft custom home, fully detailed inside and out, takes more time and more fee than a small garage addition, which takes less of both. All time is billed at an hourly rate and invoiced monthly for work performed the prior month, keeping our fees transparent and tied directly to what your project actually requires.

We hired Refine Design to plan the layout for our meeting facility, and they did an outstanding job. Their work was on schedule, on budget, and their ideas were very helpful. If you're searching for an architectural team that can fill the bill, need look no further.

Stone and Julia were very professional and extremely helpful in designing our project. Their patience and attention to detail were integral in configuring a change of use building. Stone's ability to help me understand complex parts of this project was amazing. I would highly recommend and will be using for any future projects.

I’ve worked with many architects in the past and Refine Design is exactly what you need! RD’s team provided us with a very special creative process designing our home plans. My background and career is real estate, and I have worked with many professionals in the industry, but I learned from and have been inspired by this particular “refined” process. Stone and Julia’s ability to deeply listen to our undeveloped and overzealous wants and needs is a skill not easily found. If you are seriously looking to elevate your next project, work with Refine Design!

I had the pleasure of hiring and working with Refine Design Architecture on several projects, on both the commercial and residential side. Stone and Julia's ability to clearly communicate, walk us through the project roadmap, and collaborate on design concepts/feasibility allowed us to quickly arrive at agreed design directions for each respective project. The upfront attention to detail allowed us to minimize design iterations and control cost leading up to permit submissions. I was specifically appreciative of their ability to step into the construction administration and own the deliverables to our contractors so they could maintain momentum and focus on building. I intend to work with the Refine Design team again and recommend considering them for your any of your project/design needs.

I am so pleased with the work the Refine Design architecture team has delivered for our home remodel. We bought a funky 1940s house that needs a ton of love and work. At first, it was quite overwhelming to not know the possibilities of the home and what could modernize it but also maintain some of the original factors that we love. We had a couple of ideas when we sat down with the team and they not only helped bring our vision to life, but offered different ideas and a point of view we had not thought of. I highly recommend this duo - they are incredibly easy to work with and passionate about what they do. Thank you both for your help with our home!
