Frequently Asked Questions
1. How many sets of architectural designs do I need to build a house?
It depends on the complexity of the house, but in most cases, you will need roughly 5 to 8 sets. Those who will need design prints include:
- The owner
- The Contractor
- The Sub-contractors
- The Building Department
- The Mortgage Lender
- The Building Inspector
2. Can I design my own house without an architect?
Yes, you can. If you or your builder have a talent for design, a clear idea of what you want, and if you can create plans that meet your local building authorities, you can go ahead with designing your house.
3. How much does an architect charge for architectural home design?
Well, it depends on several factors such as the complexity of the project, the square area of the land, add-on services like extra revisions, project management services or any type of construction help. We recommend you get in touch with our experts for a better understanding.

John Doe
“S3DA contacted me through LinkedIn and while I am usually skeptical of cold messages, I was in need of an MEP engineer so I thought I would give them a shot. After more than a year of working on several projects with their team, I have found them to be responsive, reasonable with timelines and budgets, and willing to stand behind their work. While there are many good engineers out there, S3DA’s customer service stands out as a valuable resource.”
Chris Cox

I have worked with them on multiple commercial and residential projects and they always deliver in a timely manner and are priced very well. I recommend using them on any project. Their drawings are methodical and easy to understand, which makes the job easier for everyone!
