Myth Buster Monday - We Only Draw Pictures

Some people believe that architects only draw pretty pictures for a living.  Hollywood has certainly played a role in misunderstanding our profession with Mike Brady (Brady Bunch), Wilbur Post (Me. Ed), and Doug Roberts (Towering Inferno), to name a few.  However, most architects were attracted to the profession by the idea that they would learn to design buildings that would actually get built and then be seen and used by many people.  Design is one thing we do but there are many other tasks that are part of an architect’s job description that many people don’t realize.

Architects consult with our clients to help them obtain various permits for their building, research building materials, review building codes and compliance, help clients find the best site for their project, prepare cost estimates, and provide construction contract administration for a project that has already been designed.  We also help clients with adaptive reuse of older buildings.  FSF is a full service architectural firm that has experienced architects and staff ready and willing to help you in any aspect of your project.
