In the end, though, everyone involved wants the same thing: For you, the homeowner, to be happy. “Our definition of success is a happy client,” Awad says.

Accessible Architecture IOTA, an architecture firm in Minneapolis offers a different take on design work. In addition to traditional services, IOTA offers one-time, low-cost consultation services. Packages are offered in two-day and four-day bundles. For example, for $1,200, a homeowner gets two days of services from IOTA: A two- or three-hour on-site meeting, where a project is discussed and measured, a few hours of IOTA staff’s time, where sketch solutions are generated, and an in-office meeting. The packages have been popular, especially with new homeowners or those with small projects. “It’s a great thing in the marketplace,” says Judy Grundstrom, co-founder and principal at IOTA. “It makes architecture more ap-proachable and ties services to a fee so it makes sense to people.” |
