Most homeowners at one point decide that they need more space. This could be an addition for needed interior space, or an outdoor deck or patio for entertaining.

These projects are usually once in a lifetime and need careful planning for a great design that fits your needs, your township zoning requirements, and most importantly your budget. This is why hiring a licensed architect for your design is key. A good set of plans in advance will make it easy to get accurate proposals from reputable contractors.

Also, if changes need to be made to get your project within budget, it is much easier to alter the plan in advance before submitting for permits, and ordering materials.
