The cost varies significantly depending on the size and complexity of the project, the level of design services required, and your location. We typically work with a variety of fee structures, including hourly rates, fixed fees, or percentage-based fees. We'll discuss this with you during our initial consultation.

The timeline depends on the project's complexity and the level of collaboration. A simple renovation might take a few weeks, while a new home build could take several months. We'll provide you with a realistic timeline during the planning phase.

Architects are licensed professionals with extensive training in design, building codes, and construction administration. They can handle complex projects and often oversee the entire building process. Home designers may have design expertise but may not be licensed architects. They might focus on the aesthetic and functional aspects of the design. We can discuss which professional is right for your project.

It depends on the scope of your project. For complex projects, especially new home construction, hiring a licensed architect is highly recommended and often legally required. For smaller renovations or interior design projects, a home designer might be sufficient.
