Do I need an architect for my small business?
Architects and other design professionals are required for most commercial construction projects under Texas law, even outside city limits. We can help you understand the team members involved and help you gather competitive proposals. Contact us to discuss your needs.
Which permits do I need for my small business?
A Texas architect can map out likely site development and construction permits and timeframes that will be critical to your budgeting. For interior work, we can help assess your suite for fire code and handicap accessibility code compliance. Contact us to walk your land, facility, or proposed suite.
How do I build my restaurant?
A Texas architect can provide construction design plans for your kitchen, dining area, and/or drive-thru. If you have a large suite or complex menu, we can help you define, solicit, and communicate with a kitchen consultant, MEP engineer, structural engineer, civil engineer, equipment vendor, security vendor, CO2 vendor, TABC alcohol permit facilitator, or other resources. Contact us to discuss what you’re cooking!
Is renovating my business expensive?
A Texas architect can help you document your needs so that construction bids more clear, consistent, and predicable. Contact us for help with a pricing package to plan out your renovation.
How do I expand my business?
A Texas architect creates plans that map your workflows into a physical form. This can optimize your floor plan and allow you to be more effective with less space. If you do need to expand, we can help testfit your business across multiple potential locations, configurations, or sites. Contact us for a testfit.
What are an architect’s fees?
We provide a design proposal up front so that you know what you will be paying before you hire us. We invoice monthly, often as a percentage of the design work completed that month. Remodels can require more attention than new facilities. Texas architect fees for construction documents might be 6%-9% of the cost of commercial construction.
