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.

Emerald Designs Ltd.
Architectural Drawing Companies in Calgary
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 19, 2015
“As a third time home buyer I wanted my particular choices and ideas reflected in my new home this time rather than purchase a so called custom home on the market that looks and feels like everyone else’s. I am so pleased that I finally went with Emerald Designs for a full build. I found a design/builder that not only catered to my needs and preferences but also offered ideas for additional choices that I hadn’t even thought of. Paul’s extensive and combined knowledge of construction and design gave me the confidence to work with a specialized builder. In addition to providing the customization that I desired, the Emerald Designs team provided a seamless transition from design to permits to construction and remained professional throughout the process. I highly recommend Emerald Designs to friends and associates for a positive design/build experience. Michelle Salesse”

Architect or Building Designer FAQs
The duration depends on the projectʼs complexity and scope. A simple home renovation might require several weeks for the architectural drawings to be completed, while new, custom homes or larger renovations could take several months. The initial phase involves understanding your requirements and site analysis, followed by drafting preliminary designs and revising them based on your feedback, before producing the final detailed drawings. Effective communication between the homeowner and the drawing company is crucial to keeping the project on schedule.
Architectural drawing companies stay abreast of the latest design trends and material innovations through ongoing education, industry publications, and participation in professional networks. During the design process, they consider factors such as sustainability, durability, cost, and aesthetic appeal when recommending materials. They work closely with homeowners to understand their preferences and lifestyle needs, ensuring that the chosen materials and design trends reflect the homeownerʼs vision while also adding value and functionality to the space.
Before reaching out, homeowners should define their project goals, budget, and timeline. Gathering inspiration (e.g., photos or links to desired design styles) can help articulate your vision. Additionally, itʼs beneficial to have an understanding of your propertyʼs zoning restrictions and whether there are any homeowners association guidelines to consider. Clear communication of your needs and expectations from the start can greatly facilitate the process.
Experienced companies anticipate potential obstacles, such as planning and zoning restrictions, structural issues, or budget constraints, and proactively address them. They employ problem-solving skills, creativity, and technical expertise to find solutions that meet your needs while complying with regulations. Regular meetings and updates ensure any challenges are discussed and resolved promptly, minimizing disruptions to the project timeline.
Yes, ensuring the company or its key personnel hold certifications such as a licensed architect (RA or RIBA, depending on your country), LEED accreditation for sustainability, or memberships in professional associations like the American Institute of Architects (AIA) can indicate professionalism, expertise, and a commitment to upholding industry standards. Certifications and memberships often require ongoing education, ensuring that the professionals are up-to-date with the latest codes, technologies, and best practices.
Yes, one of the primary reasons homeowners hire these companies is their expertise in preparing the necessary drawings and documents for building permit applications. They understand local codes and regulations, ensuring that the design complies with all requirements.
