Absolutely! South Florida Architecture and all architects employed are licensed by the State of Florida and we are insured.

Florida Building Code requires all commercial projects be designed by a licensed architect. Architects are professionals who design buildings and are available to advise building professionals during the construction process. Hiring an architect is important to the integrity of the constructed final product.

Architects are masters of taking a clients’ vision, researching the functionality of the proposed building, and creating design drawings that fulfill those objectives. The architect must design a dwelling that adheres to building codes, is safe for its occupants and can also withstand the elements.

Yes, we provide architectural services for both residential and commercial projects.

We offer free quotes for all clients. Price is based on complexity and size of each job, and price schedules are tailored to fit that particular project. After determining these factors, South Florida Architecture will provide the client with a written proposal outlining the scope of work and pricing details. Once agreed upon by both parties, a retainer will be due and our work will begin. Progress payments will be billed as work progresses and final payments are payable once the drawings are complete. Again, all of this will be clearly outlined in the proposal.

The scope of work for projects will vary but we will provide full architectural drawings. Structural drawings, MEPs and interior design drawings are available if requested by our client. This will be discussed and determined prior to providing our proposal.
