Do You Really Need an Architect?

As a general rule of thumb, you should consider hiring an architect if any of these conditions apply:

The projected cost of the remodel is over $25,000.

Drawings are needed to obtain building permits and/or to show your contractor exactly how to construct something.

You are reorganizing spaces and moving walls, or doing any other task that requires an overall design concept as well as attention to structural integrity.

Your local authorities require projects of a particular size and scope to be handled by a registered architect. Check with your building department.

Still in doubt? Interview a few architects, being clear that you are in the preliminary stages of a project and deciding if you need professional help. Most will candidly assess the scope of work and let you know whether their involvement is required.
