Many years ago, before Annmarie and I started our residential architecture firm, I was a project manager with Kaeyer, Garment & Davidson Architects in Mt.

A good contract will specify the project requirements, and address the responsibilities and expectations of all parties involved, from owners to sub-contractors. Speak your mind.

My favorite blog post for 2016 is: Being an Architect is Hell – My New House Being a residential architect is normally awesome … but not when you buy a new house.

I stand by that comment and think that clean and easy to read architectural drawings do more than just make me feel good about my artistic side, they help convey information to the people you are creating the drawings for in the first place.

This is something that is particularly important to me because I think that if our drawings look like we took the time to craft their appearance, the contractors know that they need to take time to pay attention to what we drew. Your comment is fairly ignorant considering the limited amount of information you have to base such a comment.
