1. Evolution Design Group
Based in Matthews, NC, Evolution Design Group works as an architect. A team of 3, the business has been operating for 7 years. Much of an architect's value comes from solving problems before construction starts, such as fitting an addition within setbacks, keeping natural light in a reworked floor plan, or matching an older home's character. Changes on paper are far cheaper than changes once walls are framed. On their profile, Evolution Design Group lists project type description: new construction, addition to existing structure and complete remodel; professional services needed: design drawings, construction documents (blueprints) and construction administration; property type: residential and commercial. Contractors giving very different bids for the same idea often signals that the project needs clear drawings and specifications before anyone prices it. Mention your timeline, whether you already have a builder in mind, and which services you need, from design only to construction support. Some architects bill hourly for small projects and a fixed fee for larger ones, so ask how extra revisions and site visits are billed. Customers in Matthews and nearby areas such as Indian Trail, Mint Hill and Waxhaw can request a quote. Posted hours are Monday to Friday, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Accepted payment methods include Cash, Check and Credit card. To get started, send Evolution Design Group a request on Fixerlane with the details of your project.
