Reliable Architectural Designers Near You

Do you need an architectural designer? Flattro can help you find and compare reliable architectural designers near you. An architectural designer is a professional that you can hire to plan and supervise a construction, renovation, extension or conversion project. You may also hire an architectural designer to supervise the restoration or conversion of an existing building. Any time you are working on an exterior or interior renovation or building project, our proffesionals can help.

How do I find the best architectural designer for my project?

All home construction projects are much easier, if you choose a local architect with good reputation and an agreeable personality. Flattro compiles a list of local architectural designers. Give them a brief of the work you want done, a rough budget and ask them if it is the sort of work they do and whether they are available to do it (good architects and architectural designers are often very busy). The clearer and more precise your brief is for the architect, the less likely you are to be disappointed by the final outcome. Ask them directly about their fees, as different architects charge not just different amounts, but in different ways: Тhey can charge by the hour, a flat fee (usually for smaller jobs), or a percentage of the total build costs (usually for larger jobs). Usually architects demand an upfront payment (30%) to cover the initial design work. They should give you an estimate about expected costs, so you can plan accordingly.
The architectural designers are specifically trained to both plan the logistics of your project, such as the impact an addition would have on your property, and create a design consistent with the home's style and the owner’s preferences. Whether you need an architectural drawing service or help with a planning permission application, an architectural designer can get your job done. When you hire an architectural designer, you are not only hiring someone for their architectural services, but also to manage and coordinate other parties involved in the project.

Questions to Ask

  • What is the fee?
  • How will it be calculated and are there any extra costs?
  • How often will the architect update you on the progress of your project?
  • Who will be undertaking the work?
  • What information does the architect need from you before they can start work?
  • What is their experience with similar projects?
  • When do they expect to start and be finished with the project?
  • What do their services include and will they provide support for the entire duration of the project?
  • Will they help with hiring a general contractor and subcontractors?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns they foresee with this project?

Architectural Knowledge

  • Engineering and Math - To design safe and functional buildings, the architectural designers must be thoroughly familiar with the strengths, weaknesses, and other properties of various materials and with how different structures perform under load and pressure.
  • Design Skills - As important as safety and function are, aesthetics is a major consideration in architecture. They must be familiar with the history of architecture as an art and familiar with various artistic movements within the field, and they must also be in touch with your own creativity.
  • Computer Literacy - The actual drawing up of plans is done on computers these days, as are simulations, artistic renderings, and much more.
  • Knowledge of Building Laws and Codes - Laws and local codes have much to say about what can be built, where, and how.
