What Clients Say About Amy Dutton Home

FAQ's

What is the difference between an Architectural Designer and Home Designer?

Licensing. The term architect or architectural designer can only be used if you maintain a license in accordance with state or municipal laws requirements. In the state of New Hampshire, the architect license is difficult and expensive to keep. Referred to as a “stamp”, it allows architectural construction drawings to move straight through the permitting process without needing additional engineering. Having held the license for over two decades, Amy recently opted not to renew and work with local structural engineers to meet permitting requirements and ensure the highest quality construction drawings.

What is the difference between Residential Designer and Home Designer?

These terms mean the same thing and both function in the same capacity, although some residential designers have commercial experience (similar to residential architects having commercial experience). While Amy Dutton specializes in residential homes, she also has experience designing small commercial spaces.

Should I hire an architect vs home or residential designer?

The best choice depends on your project’s scope, complexity, and your town’s specific building codes.

For a large, intricate custom home (typically over 4,000 sq ft), hiring a licensed architect is generally advised if your budget allows. Homes of this size often present significant technical complexities where an architect’s expertise can be invaluable.

For smaller homes (under 4,000 sq ft), and for additions or renovations, a residential designer is a more cost-effective and equally effective solution. For these projects, you’re likely to receive more personalized attention and a higher return on your investment compared to working with a larger architectural firm. Be sure to check local municipal building codes at the onset of your project, as requirements for construction drawings can vary.
