Architects are trained to see the big picture. Not just any architect but OMNIA Group Architects!

OMNIA’s team will help coordinate design, engineering and construction professionals as they sort through the maze of building codes and zoning requirements, essentially providing design leadership so that your project is built as intended. Architects provide important pre-design services including site evaluation, and can help you explore options you may not have considered. Involving an architect early in the process can help avoid costly missteps, and increase the likelihood of your satisfaction with the project.

Most homeowners have an idea for a design solution.  However, our expertise will avoid mistakes and create opportunities for improvement upon the initial concept.  Our insight will go beyond simply ‘redrawing’ a plan.  A well thought out, thorough design solution will lead to a buildable, economical and exciting finished product.

Fairly! Our compensation is based on a fixed fee. An architect can actually save you money by monitoring your budget, negotiating your sustainable and functional materials and workmanship, reducing energy and maintenance costs and providing efficiency in creating your buildable project.

Interior design services are provided as an additional service beyond the base fee for additional design and permit drawings.
