A professional will assist you with scope and estimates, but having a clear idea of what you want to accomplish will help communication.

Many projects such as have a DIY component, such as painting or cleanup.

First and foremost, protect yourself and make sure the contractor and any sub-contractors are licensed, bonded and insured.

Can I browse unscreened Architects in Orinda?

We do our best to screen all of our architects. However, there are still some architect professionals in Orinda that have not been pre-screened. This means that their licenses may not be up to date to operate in Orinda or CA. Always be sure to pre-screen them yourself before hiring.

How does invoicing/payment work for most Architect projects in Orinda?

Every project differs, but you should ask any architect for an estimate, before they do any work. In fact, ask for their general payment terms before any architectural design work is done.

If the job is large and going to take longer than a day, it's common practice for architects to request a down payment. Usually, this will be around 25% so they can commence work on your architect project.

If it's a quick job, you'll likely be given an invoice/bill when the job is complete. Then it's up to you and the architect to determine if you pay immediately or can send payment at a later date.
