"hired Mark Brand Architecture to design an extensive remodel for my house in San Francisco. Mark and his staff gave me a lot of help during the remodel, especially when it came to working around or through problems that the old structure of the house posed including working with the project engineers. When I had to temporarily stop the remodel due to health issues, Mark and his team stepped in to make sure the job was kept on schedule. I feel they went above and beyond the call of duty with this project."

"We recently purchased a run down, small 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom house with the intention to turn it into our dream home. We interviewed a few designers, and ultimately chose to hire Irene. From the very start, she was timely and has actively worked toward getting us into our dream house as soon as possible. After the initial consultation, I provided a laundry list of "must have" and "nice to have" changes for the home. After a couple revisions, our plans now have every single item from both of my lists incorporated into the plans, including expanding to a 4 bed / 3.5 bath, a laundry room, walk in pantry, large master bathroom and walk in closet, and an open concept indoor/outdoor covered deck off the back of our kitchen. I am truly amazed at how she was able to incorporate all these elements into a house, and ensure the rooms still all flow nicely. She also provided a ton of suggestions for ideas which I hadn't even thought to ask for! In addition to designing an amazing home, Irene has helped us through the post-design phase steps, including obtaining structural engineer plans and gaining city approval. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the work Irene has done, and she has truly made this a smoother process than I had initially imagined. I'd highly recommend her to any friends or family, and plan on using her services for any future homes or projects!"

Need help finding an architect near you? Enter your zip code to be connected today to local home architect companies. In the meantime, here's what you need to know about making sure that you find the best possible professional to work with.
Any time you are working on an exterior or interior renovation or building project, an architect can help. These professionals are specifically trained to both plan the logistics of your product, such as the impact an addition would have on your property and the rest of your home, and create a design consistent with the home's style and your preferences.
Safety is one of the most important aspects an architect will bring to your project. They will calculate all variables to ensure that anything you add or change to your home (and the home itself) remain both safe and livable. In addition, they can function as project managers, helping you organize all professionals (from plumbers to roofing contractors) necessary to complete the project.
Especially for major renovations and building projects, finding the right architect will be absolutely crucial. Here are a few questions you can ask potential partners to make sure they're a good fit:
As you might imagine, the exact cost of any architect depends greatly on your project. Planning and building an entire home will cost significantly more than simply turning a porch into a sunroom. Similarly, the length of the project as well as the level of project management your partner will take on can significantly change your budget. With all that in mind, most of our homeowners spend between $2,085 and $8,024 on an architect, with an average cost of $4,964. Most architect charge between 15% and 20% of the cost of a remodeling project, and between 10% and 15% of the cost of new construction. Depending on who you hire, you might get charged per square foot or per hour.
