Why it mattersThey want to know when an architect is needed at all, how the design phases work, how fees are usually structured, how long permitting takes in their town and how an architect works with a builder. Homeowners planning an addition and owners planning a commercial building ask different questions, but both read for weeks. An architecture firm that answers them clearly on its own website turns that research into a first meeting. StrideRank writes those articles for your project types and region and publishes them every week.
