Benefits of an In-House Architectural Designer

We often talk about the importance of having an interior designer or design consultant for your remodeling project and the benefits they bring in designing your home. 

While having an interior designer is important, it’s just as equally important to have an architectural designer work on your home. At KM BUILDERS, our in-house architectural design team collaborates with our design consultants on each of our remodeling projects. This level of collaboration brings a multitude of benefits to our clients. 

Whenever our clients have a question or concern about the design plans for their home, they can easily reach out to their design consultant who will then collaborate with the architectural designer to make any changes if needed. If our project managers have any questions about the design plans, they can easily reach out to the architectural designer for clarification. This level of communication and collaboration is a luxury in the remodeling industry because not all remodelers have an in-house architectural design team. This high level of communication allows your project to continue on schedule without communication delays.

Since our architectural designers know the design plans for your project like the back of their hand, they’re able to contact your neighborhood HOA on your behalf. They’ll know exactly what to do and to say to ensure that any changes made to your home will be approved by the HOA.  

When it comes to drafting the design plans for your home, our architectural designers will know how to blend the remodeled project seamlessly with your home because they’ll have taken detailed measurements of your home. These detailed measurements our architectural designers are able to take is another luxury in the remodeling industry. Other remodelers will take detailed measurements of your home, however, it may not be an architectural designer taking those measurements.

It could be a project manager or other subcontractor and they may not always know what to look for or what to measure when gathering information about the existing conditions of your home. By the time the measurements get into the architects’ hands, they may have to go back out to your home to collect the right measurements or they may draft the design plans with the wrong information. This can lead to potential project delays and other issues with your remodel.

So not only will our architectural designers be able to design a beautiful remodel that will blend in seamlessly with your home, but they’ll also be able to inform you on what effects the new remodel will have on your HVAC system and the electrical load on your home. This knowledge and information will help to keep your design to scale with your home and help to ensure your project remains on budget. As they draft the plans for your remodel, they’ll draft different options while taking the effects on your HVAC, electrical, and other conditions into consideration so that you can select the option that will work for your home and your budget.
