Architects in Salinas, CA

“The process of designing and building a home on the west coast while we lived on the east coast would have been a challenge. Tom made it easy and fun. He was available whenever we needed him throughout the design and build process. Best of all, Tom is now one of our good friends.”

“Working with Adam on the remodel of our house was a very satisfying experience. Adam has a strong sense of design and he carefully listens to understand the clients’ perspective. He was able to balance design and functional considerations within our budget and achieve an overall aesthetic that compliments the entire house. Adam was available for questions and very supportive throughout the project. We would definitely choose to work with him again. Arthur and Loretta Traum”

“Eric is such a delight to work with! From start to finish everything went smoothly and I felt like he really understood my vision and needs. I plan to use him for any future home remodeling projects.”
AR2 Structural Engineering
Architects in Salinas, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 May 2017
“Load bearing not load bearing? DYI or contract out? AR2 Structural Engineering helped us answer these questions quickly. Adam arrived on time and ready to survey. After a comprehensive inspection, the wall was determined to be load bearing. This was a minor set back as the remedy would need to accomplished before our kitchen cabinets arrived. Adam produced the necessary detailed drawing quickly and at a reasonable rate. I would highly recommend AR2 to be apart of anyone's DIY project. He is fair, his inspection is thorough and his drawings delivered in a timely manner. We will be calling Adam again when it will be time for our basement build out project.”
des Plantes and Associates
Architects in Salinas, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 December 2013
“My husband and I are remodeling both of our bathrooms, and want to open up our kitchen area so it works better with the layout of our house. Marcus has been working with us and he's been fantastic. Even though it is just a remodel, he's given us so many great ideas to tie the whole house together, as well as help us understand what is worth spending money on for the long run, and where we could save. He's making the process really fun and exciting, and I can't wait to live in a house that is finally well designed and perfectly us. Also, he lives is San Luis Obispo, CA and we live in Santa Cruz, which I thought might be a problem when it came down to meeting one on one, but he was very flexible and has been shooting up to meet with us multiple times bringing beautiful sketches of ideas, or examples of materials for us to look at. I hightly recommend him for big or small projects. He's truely a professional.”

Architect or Architectural Designer FAQs
An architect is a professional who designs and creates building plans, ensuring the building is functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. They collaborate with clients to understand their needs and create designs that meet their requirements. Architects also consider building codes, regulations, and sustainability principles in their designs. They may oversee the construction process to ensure it aligns with the design intent.
If you are looking at a house extension or building a new home from scratch, chances are you are going to need the help of a residential architect. They have extensive knowledge of architectural design, construction methods and building materials, not to mention a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light and flow within a property. Architects will also be far more capable of seeing the bigger picture – carefully balancing aesthetic appeal with structural safety. With their local knowledge, your Salinas architect will also often help to obtain planning permission and building regulations approval.

    After choosing a residential architect, you will usually start with a consultation to discuss the project. Preferably at your property or building site where the work will be done. Give as clear a picture as possible of the kind of home you are trying to create to your architects. Chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and feedback, together with any very specific requirements you might have. They will explain their process to you alongside any other on-site visits up to and including the build stage, depending on whether they will be involved at that stage. From there they will produce the designs and plans required for your project.
    The cost of hiring an architect in Salinas can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project, experience, reputation, and location. Architectural fees are typically structured as a percentage of the project’s total construction cost, ranging from 8% to 15%. For example, if a project has a construction cost of £500,000 and the architect’s fee is 10%, the fee would be £50,000. It’s advisable to discuss fees and payment structures with architects in Salinas during initial consultations.
