    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 14, 2013
    “I collaborated with Bill Kleinschmidt developing a playhouse with an art focus for ages 6-15. Bill was very professional and great to work with as we created designated areas of art making and incorporated the building design to work with the activities. Bill is an attentive listener and creative designer, who is able to merge fabulous design with function. I would gladly work with him again on another project.”

    “Chase was very helpful in finding solutions to the problems that I was having with an addition on my home. He provided excellent drawings and was eager to make the changes that I had proposed. Several times, he re-worked his ground floor layout because "I wanted to try it another way". He did this without hesitation and turned it around very quickly. Exceptional output and ready to go to the county for approval. Thank you very much Chase.”

    Architect or Building Designer FAQs
    The duration of an architectural project can vary widely depending on its scope and complexity. A simple home renovation may take several months from design to completion, while a new construction project could last from one to three years. The design phase typically requires several weeks to several months, factoring in time for revisions and approvals. Communication with your designer will provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific project.
    Architectural Designers stay informed on the latest materials and design trends through continuous education, industry publications, and networking with suppliers and manufacturers. They select materials based not only on aesthetics but also on durability, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness. Designers work closely with homeowners to understand their preferences and lifestyle needs, ensuring the selected materials and trends reflect their tastes while remaining functional and within budget.
    Homeowners should start by defining their project goals, budget, and timeline. Gathering inspiration images or creating a mood board can help communicate your vision to the designer. Itʼs also important to research local zoning laws and building regulations. Preparing a list of questions and concerns for your designer will facilitate a productive initial consultation. Ensuring you have a clear understanding of the design process and what is expected from both parties will help streamline the project.
    Architectural Designers are trained to anticipate and mitigate common challenges such as budget constraints, unexpected site issues, and regulatory compliance. They employ strategic planning, creative problem-solving, and effective communication with clients and contractors. Open and honest dialogue throughout the project helps ensure any challenges are addressed promptly and efficiently, minimizing delays and additional costs.
    Many Architectural Designers possess the skills and knowledge to assist with interior design aspects, creating a cohesive aesthetic and functional flow throughout a home. They can provide services ranging from space planning and furniture selection to the specification of interior finishes. However, the extent of their involvement in interior design varies, so itʼs important to discuss your expectations during the hiring process. For projects requiring specialized interior design, collaborating with a professional interior designer might be recommended.
    When selecting an Architectural Designer, look for qualifications such as a degree in architecture or a related field, licensure (where required), and membership in professional organizations like the AIA. Additionally, a strong portfolio demonstrating relevant experience, testimonials from past clients, and evidence of continuing education are indicators of a dedicated and capable designer. Itʼs also essential to choose someone with good communication skills and a compatible approach to design and project management.
