Learn about Architecture & Design
The Architecture & Design directory includes architects for house design and architectural designers, alongside building designers and architectural technicians. Project scope helps determine the right appointment: a new home calls for different experience than an addition to an existing building. Before appointing a professional, establish who will develop the drawings and who will coordinate with the contractor during construction.
Architecture & Design
Interior designers and kitchen and bathroom designers work at the scale of room layouts, cabinetry and finishes. Lighting designers address illumination and controls, while interior decorators focus on furnishings and the visual character of a room. Design & Build practices combine design and construction services; check which responsibilities sit within the agreement and how design changes will be approved.
How can an architect’s license be checked?
Licensing in the United States is handled by individual states, so check the relevant state board’s public register. Confirm that the architect holds an active license for the state where the project will be built.
What should a design brief include?
Describe how the space needs to function and set a working budget that includes construction costs and professional fees. Add a site survey or existing floor plan if available, and identify any rooms or features that must be retained.
When should lighting designers join a project?
Bring lighting designers in while room layouts and ceiling details are still being developed. Resolve fixture locations and controls before electrical rough-in to reduce changes during construction.
