Professional Architects in Boulder, CO

As soon as you decide you want to begin planning your project, you should lean heavily on the advice of a professional who has previous experience in your project type and who can advise on a wide range of important components before critical decisions are made. Architects provide important pre-design services including site evaluation, and can help you explore options you may not have considered. We are customarily hired as partners in the site selection and are advisors in the investment/expense decisions so critical to your project success. Involving an architect early in the process can help avoid costly missteps, and greatly increase the likelihood of your improved lifestyle and satisfaction with the project.

With many years of experience in the residential realm, we have worked in most municipalities up and down the front range, the mountains and outside the state of Colorado.

We are familiar with the products and materials constantly coming on line and have pioneering involvement with the passive solar homes movement. We keep up with the building codes as much as possible and know how to avoid violations. We are constantly attending seminars, conferences and continuing education programs in our field.

It is imperative that the parties are able to define a realistic scope of work to reach a fair and equitable payment plan; yet, often, a project may need to start off on an hourly basis until planning, zoning, and design parameters are established. Hourly, stipulated sum and square footage compensation are most common for residential projects once the scope is nailed down.
