Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I'm a licensed Architect who has worked as a designer and project manager at one firm for over ten years. I am a skilled designer and valuable resource for the firm's clients; let me be the same for you. Though I am currently invested in my full time employment, I'm pursuing new clientele and smaller projects independently. This allows me to provide you with the same services at a reduce cost while increasing my skills and value to my firm. I love this work because it's never the same; it's a new job every day. People aren't the same so their homes and businesses shouldn't be either. We all occupy space in our own way; so designing is always a unique and rewarding challenge.

Brandon was recommended to us when we were searching for someone to help design our new back deck. The original was too small and more than ten feet off the ground so we wanted a professional quality plan done since I've seen some disastrous deck collapses over the years. On our first meeting Brandon was totally professional, taking measurements and examining what we wanted our deck and staircase, which the original deck did not have, to look like. He kept us informed by email with suggestions and photos of his plans and progress. When he met us with our plans, he drew up a professional, well laid out set of construction plans, all to meet current codes. Brandon took the time to explain each segment of the design and the reasons for each safety feature built into it. We are having estimates done now and since this is the house we plan to spend out retirement years in, and entertain family and friends, we want to do the project right! If you want a properly done, quality drawn design, I would highly recommend using Brandon Petrella.

Brandon was excellent to work with. He provided a quote quickly for our project, understood what we were looking for as far as design, and communicated the steps of the process clearly.

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    All New York State registered architects are required to achieve thirty-six hours of continuing education every three years. The American Institute of Architects has a more stringent requirement, as a member I am required to complete eighteen hours of credit each year.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I've been interested in architecture since high school. I was fortunate enough to have a teacher convince me to take art and computer design courses instead of extra study halls. That high school interest grew into a college passion and a professional license.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Hiring an architect should be more than selecting the lowest bid. I've always felt that constructing a new space to live or work in is an extremely personal endeavor. You should have an architect who can see your vision and can deftly intertwine their experience and expertise into your design. That's why I always offer a free face to face consultation for all potential clients.
