Where to start
Not sure who to call first?
Most people building for the first time are not sure whether they need an architect, a contractor, or the city. It comes down to one question: how much of the project do you want one company to carry?
CLA Architecture is the architecture and structural engineering firm. We produce the design and the drawings.
Guide Design Build runs entire projects, from the first drawing through to the finished building. On a Guide project, CLA is the firm doing the architecture and engineering.
So you are not choosing between two design teams. You are choosing how much of the work you want under one contract.
CLA Architecture
Design and engineering
You already have a builder, or you need the drawings on their own.
We provide architectural design and structural engineering. You receive a complete, stamped set, and you take it to whoever is building for you.
We take on projects where we can stay involved through construction. We do not offer plan stamping as a standalone service.
What we doGuide Design Build
The whole project, one contract
You want one company from the first drawing to the finished building.
Guide handles the design, the estimate, the contractor and the schedule. CLA does the architecture and engineering within it, so the design and the cost are developed together rather than months apart.
One contract, one point of contact, and one company accountable for the result.

You do not know yet which one your project needs.
That is the most common place to begin. Tell us what you are trying to build and the budget you are working with, and we will tell you which of the two fits.
