Online Design Service – Remodeling On VirtualArchitect.com

Despite the nation’s unstable economy, today’s homeowners aren’t afraid to invest in remodeling. They’re spending more time at home, often taking advantage of low interest rates and refinancing to make improvements.

Anyone about to remodel or add on to their home should remember: It pays to plan ahead. Most design professionals will tell you the planning and design stage is the single most important step in any home improvement project. And good design isn’t about expensive tastes. In fact, it’s possible to get big results without a big budget.

According to Bryan Welty, the owner of VirtualArchitect.com, which offers online design services from real architects at a fraction of the cost, homeowners should turn to a professional for design advice when remodeling or adding on to their home. “A poorly designed addition or remodel not only drives up construction costs”, says Welty, “it also significantly reduces a home’s resale value, not to mention its aesthetic appeal.”

Mr. Welty’s idea for Virtual Architect was borne out of a desire to help homeowners, who often believe that the services of an architect, however useful, are beyond their budget. “The problem is”, says Welty, “homeowners will often design their projects themselves often with disastrous results”. According to Welty, architects are the design experts. An online business like VirtualArchitect.com is his way of making the services of an architect available to everyone – even the most cost-conscious consumer.

VirtualArchitect.com offers a variety of services to meet the needs of any homeowner and their work includes everything a traditional architect would. Design services include permit-ready remodeling and addition plans custom-designed for the client’s home, custom house plans, as well as their Get-A-Sketch service, which provides clients with a schematic design of their remodel or addition that they can use to price their project with contractors or as a basis for construction drawings.
