"Over two months to get house plans. Communication was dismal and the majority of my phone calls and emails were ignored. After I put down my initial deposit. I was ignored for so many weeks, I was beginning to think the company was fake. Draftsman never asked a single question. Not a good look when each round of revisions are charged by the number of changes. My final payment was requested before receiving house plans. Payment was sent and plans were immediately provided despite never having discussed or seen electrical and plumbing, etc. There was an error on the final plans and it took an act of Congress to get it changed. To be fair the final product was excellent but the ulcers I developed over this whole process would make me rethink using Evolution."

"The area below the deck was covered with an oily, greasy, slippery residue ie, flagstone patio, stucco house walls, stone support pillars for deck, and numerous potted and bedding plants. Even the doormat was greasy. It had been explained to me that there would be a waiting period of 3 wks between the power wash of the joists and the spraying of the sealant. After the power wash I texted to remind the contractor for the stone area and plants to be covered, but did not know that the sealant would be applied the very next day to wet wood…and without any protective covering to the patio, pillars, house, and plants. Windows thankfully were covered. I slipped on the greasy doormat when I discovered the problem the next morning. I was not at home the day of the spraying. The cans left in the driveway said not to spray on wet wood, to protect areas/plants/objects not being sprayed, and remove immediately any overspray with compliant cleaner. I made the first payment for materials at Lowe’s ($3182.99) in July. The second payment was for posts and 2x4 wood ($1800-no receipt given) combined together with $7000 requested by contractor unexpectedly one Friday afternoon. He usually just dropped by- no appts or advance notice. Contractor left immediately after getting my check to “pay my guys”. At this point I have paid $11,982.01 toward the $14,500 contract, leaving approximately $2517. 01. Although Gerry has made numerous trips to my home, he has not brought me a copy of my signed contract or the second receipt for more materials -$1800. I asked at least 3-4 times for these documents. There was some adjustment to the original design because I did not want the small pickets seated on a huge horizontal 2x6 board. This necessitated a return of the bottom boards in exchange for smaller 2x4 boards which were then placed vertically at top and bottom to hold pickets. At the beginning of the project, I pointed out to the contractor that one of the existing posts had wood rot. Another post was unstable and I approved new posts. I had 7. He put in 14 per code but they were much smaller than original ones. That was ok with me. I have no receipt for the post wood (part of the $1800 I think) but a neighbor-house builder-contractor came by and checked Lowe’s cost for posts between $800-900. Other material might have been in that rounded figure, but again, I have no receipt. All of those posts were installed, but several were then removed because of damaged wood. I don’t feel I should pay labor twice for those posts, nor do I believe that the labor costs boosted my expenses to $18,000, a total figure the contractor jotted on a note paper, but we never discussed a new figure. Last week I asked to meet with the contractor at his convenience and asked again for him to bring my signed contract and receipts for the $1800 for “materials”. He chose 2 pm Friday, but at 3pm, I texted because he was not there. At 3:15 I told him we would need to reschedule. I had 2 appts with stone masons to assess the damage to my stonework. Both were shocked at the damage and explained that flagstone absorbs oil and power washing would not remove all the blotchy stains. They also looked at the pillars and chimney stone which was turned dark from the oil and the gravel in the driveway which was turned black. There were oil drip lines on the stucco walls and a few areas where stones had been broken from the chimney, patio, and a post. They described the procedure for removing stones to replace damaged areas so they would not be “puzzled” in with small pieces. Those areas needed to be rebuilt. Someone glued random stones into the patio and chimney with white apoxy on Friday after 5 pm after I left for dinner. These areas will need to be removed and properly repaired. I contacted an attorney at the suggestion of the stone masons and the staff at Sherman Williams Paint store when I showed them pictures. The staff at Sherman Williams also said the wood should have been dried for 3weeks, even tho it was treated wood. When I texted the contractor that I needed an attorney, he wanted to pressure wash the patio etc and put siding in 2 places and then he would be “finished”. I believe the patio and stonework Will need some significant repairs and the contractor’s liability insurance might need to be explored. I cannot make a further payment until the stone damage has been corrected by a stonework professional and a final figure is fairly negotiated. I don’t think the expense of righting my property damage and getting legal advice to do it is my responsibility."

Architectural services FAQs
While you might think that architects only draw blueprints for buildings, they are much more involved in the overall construction process than you might realize. While they aren’t the ones swinging the hammers, architects do the following:
Communicate with the homeowner on the project request, including assistance when exact plans aren’t known
Develop computer-aided models and blueprints of the requested design
Ensure that the design incorporates form, function, and safety features
Provide the contractor with the agreed-upon design
Supervise the general contractor and any subcontractors throughout the project
Communicate any needed changes to the project with the homeowner and draw new plans accordingly
Before settling on and hiring an architect, it’s beneficial to you as a homeowner to ask some questions to familiarize yourself with their work. After all, you wouldn’t want to spend time and resources on a professional that doesn’t specialize in exactly what you want in a house. Some questions to ask your architect include:
How do you charge for services? Is it on an hourly basis, based on square footage, or based on project size?
How do we work together to stay on budget for this project?
Do you anticipate any future challenges with this project? How are these communicated?
What is your project management style? If you are not handling the day-to-day details, who is my point of contact?
Can I see previous similar projects that you’ve completed?
Do you have any specialty experience, like working on historic homes or using sustainable building materials?
The average cost to hire an architect for your home project ranges between $2,200 and $10,500. However, depending on location and project type, you might end up paying as little as $600 or as much as $45,000 or more. For example, the average cost of hiring an architect in North Carolina is between $1,800 and $2,000, but in California, that price tag jumps to $3,600 to $15,200.
The price you pay for your architect also depends on their experience level. For example, a principal architect, the firm's owner, typically charges $150 to $250 per hour. However, an intern architect with three to five years of experience usually only charges $45 per hour.
After you’ve spoken with your contractor and agreed on a project, they’ll draw up blueprints, or plans, that the construction crew will use. The blueprint process can take between four and six months to complete. While this can seem like a long time, remember that the architect must communicate with your municipality to determine codes, communicate with you as the homeowner with any changes or adjustments, and coordinate with the construction crew.
If you simply remodel your home or add an addition, the time to draw up the plans will be shorter since fewer permits and surveys are required. Even still, it’s best to plan for a few months for the architect to complete this part of the project.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
