About Pioneer Architecture
I am a licensed Architect with over 18 years experience in residential design, remodels and additions. I specialize in single
family home remodels and additions. Working with an existing structure and redesigning it so it performs in an entirely new
and better way is a lot of fun and I enjoy my work.
I can provide full design services from "napkin sketches" through construction administration or just draft up your own design
to make it buildable. I have worked on everything from 70 square foot garage additions to 11,000 square foot homes to multi-family
condo projects. I always charge a fixed fee so you know exactly how much you will be paying up front and I never charge extra for
my reimbursables.
If you are looking for an uptight architect or designer who will spend hours talking to you about architectural theory, I am
probably not your guy. If you are looking for the cheapest price, I am probably not your guy. I will beat most licensed architect's fees for DESIGN
and DRAWINGS but if you just want cheap drawings you should probably contact someone else. If you are seeking
someone who will give you a great design that will allow you to maximize the use of your site and home, then I can help. I tend to
be blunt in my feedback and advice because I don't believe in telling people what they want to hear just to get a job.
I also do one thing I have never heard of other architects or designers doing. I put a clause in my agreement that lets the
client fire me for any reason. If you just don't like working with me, I will not try to force you to finish the project because of
a contract. I want the project to be enjoyable for everyone involved.
I do all of my design and drawings by hand. I have used CAD systems and just did not like them. I always scan my drawings so my
clients can have them in pdf or other formats.
If you want the design of your project to be personal, custom and affordable, then call or email me
to start making your dreams a reality.
