Architects and Architecture
Architects are both artisans and engineers. In most of the world, only qualified persons may legally practice architecture.

The Licensure an Architect Needs to Practice
To get a license, first off any architect usually needs to have a degree from an accredited university. Each state usually requires exams to be passed as well. In addition to this, there is also a fairly substantial training period. Arizona takes such terms and titles seriously, including versions such as architectural designer is restricted to licensed individuals by law.
To practice, a Phoenix architect must be able to work independently of supervision. Design professionals under the supervision of a licensed architect, such as architectural technologists and intern architects, often may not need a license to practice, however, they must approve all plans with the registered professional.
Experience that an Architecture Firm in Phoenix Needs
Architecture is a mentor-based profession. It is one of the highest skilled labor jobs out there, so not everyone can do it. Usually after passing their exams, and graduating from college, architects also have a length of time that they have to work under the supervision of a professional architect, usually of three years or more. Like a lot of skilled professions, sometimes continuing certification is also required.
If you think all of this material is excessive, think again. One pin out of place in a girder, and a building can fall onto a busy street, killing or injuring hundreds or even thousands of people. Less extreme is the effect a badly designed building can have on a skyline. Look at the Seattle EMP museum. Even though it was designed by a notable architecture firm, a lot of people in Seattle do not like the way it looks, which is not a high mark for it’s architect.
So when you get ready to hire a design professional, check out his portfolio, and check him out with with the state. That way you get an architect that is right for you and your project.

Tenant Improvement
Commercial tenant improvement is something that becomes necessary for a variety of reasons. Sometimes, additional space is needed, or a room needs to be built that requires a special configuration, like a server room. A commercial tenant improvement project involves items like interior remodeling of an existing office or retail space, upgrades for the current tenant or changes to accommodate a new tenant that may be moving in.
As to why an architect must be called in that’s due to the complexity of modern buildings. Simply knocking out a wall could be disastrous if one hit a load bearing strut or if the wall itself is load bearing. One could accidentally rupture a pipe or electrical conduit, or even damage utilities like fiber optics or cabling.
Tenant improvement allows flexibility for a tenant to adapt space to suit their needs while still staying in compliance with structural requirements and applicable city codes.
Calling in an architect is always your best bet for such improvements.

What is an Architect
An architect is so much more than a designer. First off, here is a definition of an architect from WIKIPEDIA.ORG:
An architect is a person trained to plan and design buildings, and oversee their construction. To practice architecture means to provide services in connection with the design and construction of buildings and the space within the site surrounding the buildings, that have as their principal purpose human occupancy or use.[1] Etymologically, architect derives from the Latin architectus, which derives from the Greek arkhitekton (arkhi-, chief + tekton, builder), i.e., chief builder.[2]
Professionally, an architect’s decisions affect public safety, and thus an architect must undergo specialized training consisting of advanced education and a practicum (or internship) for practical experience to earn a license to practice architecture.
To read more of this entry, please visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architect
In most of the world, only people with appropriate qualifications and licensure may legally practice architecture. To get a license, an architect has to have:
- An advanced degree from an accredited university
- Successful completion of state administered exams
- Successful completion of a training period.
There is a big difference between an architect and a building design professional. An architect can operate independently of supervision. A building design professional is someone that can be an architectural technologist, an intern architect, or an engineer but is not directly connected to the architectural process. Another key thing to know about what an architect does is that sometimes, they are consultants.
Sometimes an architect is hired not to design a structure or building, but to do a feasibility study on a proposed structural improvement or addition. Sometimes, it is a good idea to have someone outside of a design team take another look at any plans to make sure there’s no problems down the road.
Architects have an eye for detail, and are respected consultants throughout different levels of society.
You can do a lot worse than to call an architect for any improvement projects you may have for your home or business involving structural changes.

Case Study – Prescription for a Master Bath Remodel : master bathroom remodel.
Written By Doug Rusk, Architect
Chandler Master Bathroom Remodel
When Dawn, a San Francisco Pharmacist, decided to move closer to her grandkids in Chandler, she found an amazing home that was more than what the doctor ordered. But despite this home’s idyllic location in an exclusive gated Arizona community, Dawn knew that her first move was to renovate her dark, out dated Master Bathroom.
Using a trusted referral for a reputable, licensed contractor, Dawn called Ken from Behrmann Home Basics (BHB) to start work immediately. Ken knew that a quick hand sketch would help Dawn visualize a few alternate ideas for her Master Bath Remodel. So he brought in Gilbert Architect Doug Rusk from DESIGNLine Architects to help Dawn make sense of the many design choices available.
With her casual / contemporary styling preference and a flexible budget in mind, Dawn’s main requirement was to remove the Master Bath Tub in order to make room for a large walk-in shower. Below are pictures of the original Master Bathroom, showing the dated tub/shower combination and two small windows over the vanity.
Although Doug’s first sketches of Option’s 1 & 2 worked reasonably well (shown above), it was Option #3 (shown below) that Dawn immediately knew was the Master Bathroom renovation she wanted.
Master Bathroom Remodel – Scope of Work
In addition to removing the Master Bath Tub in order to make room for a large walk-in shower, Dawn wanted the mirrors on the closet doors replaced with a wood paneled door in her Master Bathroom Remodel. She also wanted an electric hair dryer available to grab at a moment’s notice from one of the drawers under the sink that was already plugged in (SHOWN ABOVE). For the borders over the shower and the vanity splash, we used colorful glass tile.

Below are pictures taken during the construction phase, showing the framing, plumbing and electrical work inside the walls. During the short construction phase, the BHB construction team did an amazing job of installing plastic walls with zippers to seal off the construction zone from the main home.

Permit By Inspection (PBI)
The permit by inspection program (PBI) is a voluntary alternative to the standard construction document plan review and building permit approval processes for special projects of certain building uses, occupancies and degree of complexity. The PBI program is intended to provide a stream-lined approach to building permit plan review review and issuance in which senior building inspectors review construction documents in the field and approve the issuance of the building permit. There is a 20% premium for the PBI process on top of the regular building permit fee and other fees.
Benefits of the “Permit By Inspection” (PBI) Process:
- – Typically the Permit By Inspection (PBI) is processed in a 5 day turnaround time (instead of 18 days).
- – Cuts down on paperwork.
- – Much of process is done by email.
- – One contact person who is familiar with the project and special conditions.
- – Construction work can proceeds as the plan review is taking place.
- – Quick response time to changing field conditions.
There are currently no written criteria to determine if your project will qualify for the building permit by PBI process. To learn more, call Clyde at (480) 644-4273.
If your project does NOT qualify for the PBI process, the regular Plan Review Turn-Around Times at this writing are:
Commercial
- – 5 business day PBI review.
- – 18 business days review.
- – 10 day expedite review (100% of building permit fee).

CASE STUDY: Chandler Master Bathroom Remodel

Chandler Master Bathroom Remodel
Nestled among a large group of Sun Lakes retirement homes, where golf carts dot a sleepy street in South Chandler Arizona, stands a home that’s in desperate need of a Master Bathroom Remodel. bathroom remodel, bathroom remodel, bathroom remodel, bathroom remodel
Recent New York transplants, Ana and Ayad, did what most people do when they move into a home that shows signs of mold in their shower; they called a reputable, licensed contractor, who in this case was Ken from Behrmann Home Basics (BHB). Because this wasn’t the first or the last project that Ana and Ayad would need, Ken knew the first step would be to have a quick hand sketch designed by Doug Rusk, from DESIGNLine Architects, that would help his clients visualize a few alternate ideas for their Master Bath Remodel. Ana had a very specific idea in her mind for the Bathroom remodel. bathroom remodel, bathroom remodel
She wanted to remove the makeup counter, drawers and knee space between the two sinks (shown above). “This would leave 3-1/2 feet of space between the sink vanities for a nice sized floor plant”, she said. But because she also wanted the medicine cabinet storage removed also, Doug, her Architect, had another idea for her Master Bath Remodel.
bathroom remodel
He wanted to replace the lost medicine cabinet with storage for a toothbrush, soap and accessories. So Doug also proposed Option A (shown above) which would instead add a tall cabinet between the two vanity sinks, high enough for the vanity counter to extend behind the false cabinet front, creating a storage niche. Ana ended up sticking with her original Master Bath remodel vision and kept the space for a healthy green plant. bathroom remodel
Here is the shower converted from a light pink, vintage 1992 ceramic, to a more updated ceramic tile finish, with a textured glass, frame-less enclosure. Below are a few pictures that show the Master Bathroom remodel.athroom remodel
Chandler Master Bathroom Remodel
Many of the Sun Lakes home, built in the early 1990’s, are well designed and have great bones. Now that these homes are getting a little older, certain areas need updating. With some strategic planning, the lives of these homes can be extended for another 20 years +. Intelligently remodeling an existing house to make it last for another generation is also one of the most sustainable things a homeowner can do.
Below we’ve outlined a couple of our primary strategies you should consider for your next home remodel:
1. Limit the scope
While it would typically be ideal to update the entire home, most homeowners have a budget that requires a limited scope; being aware of where dollars are spent allows a homeowner to get the most renovation for their buck. Usually there are certain areas of older homes that need the most attention and we’ve found that the kitchen and bathrooms remodeling are typically most in need of modernizing. bathroom remodel
2. Be Selective
Sometimes it’s hard to know where to stop with a home renovation. While you’re updating the kitchen, it’s tempting to also update a few things in the living room, and then why not replace too old, hall bath shower enclosure and, then you realize, that awful garage floor needs that speckled paint you always wanted. Before you know it, budget creep occurs. We find it useful stay true to your budget and to specifically define where the remodel is ending.

Phoenix Home Remodeling
Plan a Budget, Before Signing Construction Contract
The key to successful home remodeling is taking the time up front for proper planning. It’s in the best interest of ALL homeowner’s to consider the four steps below, BEFORE signing a construction contract. Early planning is important for an enjoyable remodeling experience, because it will flush out problems early and set expectations that will prepare you for the road ahead.
1. Master Plan –
ALL Your Home Remodeling Ideas Together in One Plan –
You might be a homeowner whose family needs are changing, or maybe you’ve lived in your home for a while and just need a change.
- – Make a Wish List – First, make a detailed list that includes everything you’d wish for in your home remodeling project(s).
- – Get Architect’s help – Then, call an Architect to design one plan (called a Master Plan) that ties together ALL your ideas on your wish list.
- – Divide into Smaller Projects – Finally, work with your Architect to prioritize and break up all your remodeling ideas into manageable projects.
You can complete each piece of your master plan as you can afford them, knowing that each piece has been designed to fit together.
2. Determine your “Bottom Line” Remodeling Budget –
After writing a scope of work, create a budget for your home remodeling project.
- – Bottom Line – Ask yourself, what is the maximum dollar amount you will allow yourself to spend? It’s in your best interest to determine your “bottom line” budget amount, and then stick to it.
- – Contingency – Once you have that budget number firmly in mind, it’s wise to set aside what’s called a “contingency”. Some people feel comfortable with 10%, others 25% or more. Because extra spending will probably occur, the contingency keeps your budget under control so that you finish your original renovation plan.
- – No Surprises – Creating the budget first, helps homeowners be realistic about selecting the final architectural designs and finish materials they can afford.
3. Write a Scope of Work –
With your Master Plan design complete, work with your Architect to develop a written Scope of Work.
- – List the Steps – An itemized task list of construction (i.e. demolition, concrete, framing, electrical, mechanical). By stating clearly in writing the details of the project, the general contractor will have a very specific picture of your project and provide a more accurate construction estimate. Also detail what’s NOT included in project.
- – Details are Important – It clears out any grey areas, all uncertainties and ambiguities. For instance, a general contractor might not know you want the wall paper and flooring removed and disposed of in a remodel job if you don’t say so.
- – Remodeling Cost Schedule – Be sure to create a project cost control schedule where you review the costs on a regular basis.
4. Detailed Written Contract –
A contract is needed to set the rules and the terms of your home remodel. It’s very important to write down ALL your project goals up front and include them in the written contract with your architect and contractor.
- – Spell out the Details – There needs to be a clear agreement reflected in the contract about the extent of the work, the quality of workmanship expected, the quality of the materials used, and other specific details of the remodeling design.
- – Never assume. When it doubt, write it all down.
- – Important Note – if you do sign a contract and then have second thoughts, the Federal Trade Commission’s “cooling off rule” may apply. It allows you a 72-hour period in which to cancel the agreement.
It’s easy to jump ahead without thoroughly planning out your home renovation. Improper planning will result in impulsive decisions and choices that might cost extra either in labor or materials. If you take the extra time required to follow these four steps in the beginning, you will take control of your home renovation, and really enjoy the results.
