Architect Readiness Report: Do I Need an Architect?

$399.00

Before you spend on drawings, permits, or a full design engagement, find out what your project really needs. This report looks at the whole picture, including condition, design, feasibility, and sequencing, and ends with a clear recommendation on whether to hire an architect, when, and for what part of the work.

What you'll receive:

  • A summary of your project and what's feasible

  • Findings on the condition issues involved

  • Design direction with a concept sketch

  • A clear answer to "Do I need an architect?" with the specific scope to hire for

  • Whether you'll likely need an engineer or permits

  • A prioritized plan and suggested sequence

  • Questions to ask contractors and architects

  • A report you can hand directly to an architect or contractor

What I need from you:

  • Photos of the space and key problem areas

  • A description of your goals, budget range, and timeline

  • Rough dimensions or a quick sketch (helpful but optional)

  • Any quotes or documents you already have

Turnaround: Within 5 business days of a complete submission.

About the sketch: One concept sketch with one round of revision. It illustrates direction and is not to scale, not a measured drawing, and not suitable for permits or construction.

Good for: Additions, kitchen or bath reworks, structural changes, and any project where you're unsure whether to hire an architect.

Spots are limited each week.
