Regulations
Good to know before you ask
Architects are licensed by each state. Depending on the state and the size of the project, single-family homes can sometimes be designed by unlicensed designers, but larger buildings require a licensed architect or engineer.
Compare proposals on scope (design only, permit set, construction support) and how fees are set. We do not design ourselves and do not show prices.
