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.

Featured Reviews for Architectural Drawing Companies in Pittsburgh

Cipriani Studios
Architectural Drawing Companies in Pittsburgh
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 5, 2019
“We hired Justin design our new dream home from the ground up. Justin was patient every step of the way and very understanding of our architectural goals. After completing the design, Justin personally delivered the permit set to the township code department. We expected months of questions and pushback from the township. To our surprise, we received our permits within a week with no questions and only some reminders to adhere to code. All aspects of the design (from grading plan to structurals) sailed through the code department. We interviewed three other architects before deciding to hire Justin. We would do the same again.”
Gaskill Architecture
Architectural Drawing Companies in Pittsburgh
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 14, 2019
“We hired Robert Gaskill to do an extensive remodel plus addition on our midcentury house. Robert is very patient, professional, thorough, and experienced. He has the creative perspective and open mindedness needed to optimize the limited space we have while giving us most of the features on our wish list. Robert also referred us to several reputable general contractors he recommended and helped us create a bidding form for them to follow. We chose one of Robert’s contractors to do our project. The only drawback was that the whole process took more than a year, longer than we expected, but to be fair we made many modifications to our drawings and Robert was very patient with us. Also the cost of our project was much higher than we expected but maybe we were naive about that. Overall, we highly recommend Robert Gaskill.”

“After having worked with Mary Cerrone for several years and on many projects, I can honestly say she is one of the very best architects in Pittsburgh. Her designs are practical but stunning. She always works to achieve exactly what her clients want without imposing her tastes on the client's wishes. Her drawings and specifications are always complete down to the last detail. I would certainly recommend Mary Cerrone to anyone searching for an excellent architect.”

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.
