Craig Charon Design
Architects & Building Designers in North Edwards.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 June 2015
“Craig is a total pro. He not only did all the design work for the remodeling, but he also managed the project for us. The end result was fantastic. The bathrooms were so beautiful and clean, and I can't imagine them having been able to turn out any better than they did. Craig really knows how to get quality results.”
James Mayo Macari Architect
Architects & Building Designers in North Edwards.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 August 2015
“We hired 3 architects to come up with a concept for our remodel. All three were similar and good, but nothing that exciting. A contractor introduced us to James Macari and the next day we received a fax with a hand done drawing that inspired us! We knew right then, this is our guy. His idea for our new home hit us right in the heart. He has been great to work with, has amazing experience and is both philosophical and inspirational. His vision from the inside out and outside in is so well understood, it is sometimes hard to conceive, yet so clear when explained. We couldn't recommend anyone better to work with. B & C Wolf”
Purofirst
Architects & Building Designers in North Edwards.
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars23 July 2014
“I purchased my home in 2003 and on March 11, 2011, I noticed water damage under the kitchen sink which I reported to my home owners insurance. They recommended Purofirst. I called Purofirst and scheduled a representative to evaluate the damage which turned out to be quite extensive. They completed the restoration within a matter of days. Each member of the team was highly professional and courteous. I also had additional work done to update my kitchen. I am still satisfied with the work they did.”

How do I find the best North Edwards, CA architect for my home design or renovation project?


When building or renovating your home, you don't simply hire an architect or building designer — you build a relationship with them. Be sure you chose a home architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Architecture is an incredibly technical profession and one where getting things wrong can literally put lives at risk, so ensure you hire a professional with a valid license or an architectural firm to maintain high quality and standards. Your next consideration will be architectural style. Some residential architects specialise in designing traditional homes or farmhouses, others in designing modern replicas of traditional homes. While a few have a knack for imagining bolder, more futuristic architectural design in North Edwards, CA that incorporates the latest technology.

Once you have frozen on the architect or building designer, chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and any other specific requirements you might have. Ask them to walk you through the process, including the number of architectural design consultations, site visits and what they will be delivering and when, e.g. feasibility study, a technical drawing, tender package and/or planning application drawings. Also, get a sense of whether they are a good listener, collaborator, and problem solver. Finally, be sure to find out what the architect needs from you,deeds, rights of way, deposit, staged payments and so on.

How much does hiring an architect in North Edwards, CA cost?


Home construction and renovation often have a preset budget and hence it is important to understand how much architects charge. While there is no set payment structure, independent architects may charge differently from architectural firms. Architects sometimes choose to calculate their fees on the basis of a per square foot rate. In rare cases, especially with smaller projects, North Edwards, CA architects may choose to ask their clients for a fixed fee.
