When an Architect is Most Beneficial for Home Designs and Renovations

Renovation projects are most successful and less stressful when there’s a proper plan in place. This is where an architect from Wolfe Design Build comes in, as we are the ones who draw up design and construction documents and makes the instructions for how to build the proposed room or home addition.

A clear set of design plans allows you to know exactly what you are getting and a clear cost for the project.

Architects are essential for large-scale renovations that affect multiple rooms, including home additions, complex designs, and structural changes. Our in-house architects at Wolfe Design Build are experienced and ready for such projects. We design and create remodeling plans, as well as procure the necessary permits, to ensure the building process goes smoothly.

Additionally, we have up-to-date experience with Massachusetts codes and permit requirements making it easier to get home renovation projects approved, including working with historic commissions in your town. This is especially essential if there are any major changes to the water pipes, electrical, or other key aspects of the project that could need approval and permitting.
