Why hire an Architect?
Architects have an ethical responsibility to protect the general public, while General Contractors do not. That protection extends from the conception of a project through the life of the built element. Architects are responsible for making sure that the owner's interests are represented and upheld in all dealings with contractors and for ensuring that owners receive a quality, code-compliant, space that considers all factors of design.
There are numerous instances of homeowners being taken advantage of and being left holding the bag. At PowellDesign, our purpose is to protect you, the homeowner, while elevating the quality of Design in the home.
You should hire an Architect if you are pursuing ANY project that requires construction.
