Should You Hire an Architect?
The circumstances in which call for the expertise of an Architect vary from situation to situation. Some states, such as California, allow people with out an architect license to design single-family homes of wood frame construction, that are at a maximum of two stories high and one basement deep.
However, some situations do call for an architect. For instance, an architect must govern the location where you plan to build, and may require that the plans for your project be submitted by someone licensed.
Other than situations such as these, an architect is not required. This does not mean that you would not be better off if you were to hire an architect; they often make a building project easier, and open up many more possibilities and perspective options. Also they can prevent crucial mistakes that would end up being very costly. Simply ask yourself what the project calls for, how extensive it is, and how much personal work you will be willing to do, and if it is worth it.
