We do not deny that there are talented draftspeople out there who can design you a stunning home. Draftspeople are a vital part of our building and construction industry. The problem is when draftspeople are seen to fill a role which they simply are not trained to do.
Your architect has been trained and has a deep understanding of not just design, but construction, engineering, planning, environmental factors, material science, design philosophy, environmental surrounds and so many more factors as well. Your draftsperson is going to take a few weeks to design a home, while we will take as long as it takes to get the perfect design. This may take months, with consultation with you and ongoing perfection along the way.
Architects are specialists when it comes to planning and design of the built and natural environments. While many people do have the misconception that an architect is a luxury for home design, the truth is that an architect can actually save you money in the long run. And while we do cost more than a draftsperson, the end result is that you get what you pay for.
