FAQS

How do I choose the right architectural design firm for my project?

Selecting the right architectural design firm involves considering factors such as their experience, portfolio, and compatibility with your project needs. Research firms, review their past projects, and schedule meetings to discuss your vision. A firm that aligns with your style, understands your requirements, and has a proven track record is likely to be a good fit.

What is the typical timeline for an architectural project from design to completion?

The timeline for an architectural project varies depending on its complexity and size. Design phases may take a few months, including client consultations and approvals. Construction time depends on the scale, with smaller projects taking a few months and larger ones a year or more. It's crucial to establish a realistic timeline during the initial project discussions.

How much involvement do I need during the construction phase, and what does the architect handle?

Your level of involvement during construction depends on personal preference, but architects often handle the day-to-day aspects. They oversee the construction team, address any issues, and ensure the project aligns with the approved design. Regular updates and communication with the architect will keep you informed, but their role is to manage the construction process efficiently.


When it comes to architecture, Richard believes in focusing on each individual client’s wants and needs instead of a specific type. He will listen to your desires, and present ideas based on the discussion from your initial consultation. He will also guide you through the design process with his 10+ years of architectural knowledge. Whether you need a small design update to certain features in your home or want a dedicated commercial location for your business, Drake Architecture team can help.
