Although you might not always be able to what you want to do, know that until you start to put everything down on paper - until you start to create a plan. Plans prevent confusion and encourage efficiency and safety. Without such a guide, builders work on assumptions, and home-improvement adventurers work on hunches. Plans help determine what needs to happen and when. They guide and direct with the intent of avoiding replication of effort or wasting resources.
Plans provide an overview of the work to be done.
Here, they represent your dreams, desires and life-improvement goals. Whether they apply to building your home or your life, the quality of your blueprints depends on your ability to communicate. If you are clear on what you want and don't want in a house, an architect can take your ideas and turn them into a construction plan. But, even if you are not sure what you want, an architect can help you figure it out. The architect presents you with suggestions, shows you pictures of houses, and assists you in figuring out what you want versus what you can probably afford - all important functions when building a new home, or even a new life.
