"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."

Our goal is to help our clients develop new habitats that harmonize with nature and provide safe, nurturing, and comfortable living spaces. We believe that this is best accomplished by integrating our client’s design requirements and financial resources with the principles of sustainable design and energy/resource efficiency. We are experienced in remodels as well as new construction.

"1st. Estimate, down payment, response time, accuracy of as is plans. EVERYTHING OFF. Spent $10,000 for useless plans. Only thing I received was as is and proposal and useless elevations. For 10k that's pretty insane. Took about 3 months to receive as is built plans. I'm still getting charged 2k for whatever work they supposedly done. Work that was done after I cut ties with the firm. Save your time and money. This firm has several drafters that get cost up. I had an easy design and things were complicated since day in. There initial "prelim" scan software is garbage. Several things were not caught on the scan meaning drafters had to correct. Meaning time is invested then charged to you as the customer. Turn around time for modifications is pretty bad. Save your time and money and go else where. Been in business for about twenty + years and I've never had a bad experience with a "professional.""

BTS Builders is an owner operated small business. We have been licensed since 2016 but in the contracting trade since 2006. The owner, Ben Saunders, has been apart of building multiple homes from the ground up as well as many types of remodels and additions. We now specialize in outdoor structures, pergolas and deck builds. Our crew works on these types of structures on a daily basis which makes us efficient through the job and gives the customer the quality product they are looking for. We would love to connect with you about any projects you might need done and hopefully be of service to you in anyway we can. We appreciate your consideration.

"My husband's review: Great crew, superior work, fun to have around the house and will definitely hire again. My review: The afternoon after signing up for Angi, Ben, the owner of BTS Builders texted me to arrange a time to review our project. He arrived the following day and we set things in motion. Our deck rebuild was his first Angi project and the first time we used Angi! We couldn't be happier with the results! Ben stood by his estimate (which can be difficult to get from some contractors) and the timeline. He even fitted in a part of the project to complete it even though we didn't originally schedule it! He and his team were outstanding...gregarious, timely, fastidious about cleaning up the site. The crew has pride in their work and have fun while doing it. A double thumbs up for BTS Builders for your construction needs."

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.
