“Jason drew plans for our addition of a master suite to our home. He visited our house twice to ensure that the plans her drew would be accurate and feasible. He contacted us many times throughout the project to get our feedback and work collaboratively with us. We received plans in the form of a PDF file so we could easily email them to contractors for bids and also a stamped set for building permits.”
Habitat Concepts Residential Design
Architects & Building Designers in Alexandria Bay.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 November 2014
“Our contractor referred us to Habitat Concepts Residential Design in Kingston, to design our new home and prepare the construction drawings. We worked with the owner of the business, John Johnson. We were very impressed with John's knowledge of design, materials, local code, materials, timeliness of response, etc, etc. He was never short on ideas, always polite and attentive, and seemed to have unlimited patience. Overall we would strongly recommend Habitat Concepts for anyone wanting to design a new home in the Greater Kingston area.”
Polcan Design Group
Architects & Building Designers in Alexandria Bay.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 March 2013
“Polcan Design Group created house designs for us as well as poured the concrete for our Nudura home. My husband and I built our own home and one day we went to our site after work and PDG had been there and completed some exterior work for us at no extra charge. When I called them later they said they were in the area and finished early and wanted to give us a little boost with our project. They helped us over the phone many times as well. It's rare to find businesses in this day and age that actually care about people and want to provide quality services. We appreciated all the help PDG gave us while building our home.”

It is often said when you're building a house, you’re building a dream. An architect or master of building design can make your dream house a reality.

Architectural firms have extensive knowledge of architectural design and building materials, and a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light, and flow within a property. As you search through architects and building designers in Alexandria Bay, NY, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Alexandria Bay, NY architect for my home design or renovation project?


When building or renovating your home, you don't simply hire an architect or building designer — you build a relationship with them. Be sure you chose a home architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Architecture is an incredibly technical profession and one where getting things wrong can literally put lives at risk, so ensure you hire a professional with a valid license or an architectural firm to maintain high quality and standards. Your next consideration will be architectural style. Some residential architects specialise in designing traditional homes or farmhouses, others in designing modern replicas of traditional homes. While a few have a knack for imagining bolder, more futuristic architectural design in Alexandria Bay, NY that incorporates the latest technology.

Once you have frozen on the architect or building designer, chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and any other specific requirements you might have. Ask them to walk you through the process, including the number of architectural design consultations, site visits and what they will be delivering and when, e.g. feasibility study, a technical drawing, tender package and/or planning application drawings. Also, get a sense of whether they are a good listener, collaborator, and problem solver. Finally, be sure to find out what the architect needs from you,deeds, rights of way, deposit, staged payments and so on.

How much does hiring an architect in Alexandria Bay, NY cost?


Home construction and renovation often have a preset budget and hence it is important to understand how much architects charge. While there is no set payment structure, independent architects may charge differently from architectural firms. Architects sometimes choose to calculate their fees on the basis of a per square foot rate. In rare cases, especially with smaller projects, Alexandria Bay, NY architects may choose to ask their clients for a fixed fee. Make sure the total figure and payment schedule is agreed as part of your contract, particularly if you are trying to accurately estimate the cost of building a house.

  • What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • Who will be working on my project? (This is very important if you hire an architectural firm)

  • What does the cost include?
  • Can you handle my special requests?
  • What is your experience with similar projects/ architectural design and style?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
  • What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with your vision.)
