Terence L. Thornhill Architect
Architects & Building Designers in Benton City.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 September 2016
“I recently hiredTere Thornhill and his architectural firm for the remodel of my recently purchased home on the Columbia River. I had some definite ideas of features that I wanted and Tere did an excellent job of incorporating and supplementing them during the design process. He also had excellent suggestions for alternatives as we worked toward the final design.”
DreamView Design
Architects & Building Designers in Benton City.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 September 2015
“I have worked on multiple projects with Joseph (owner of DreamView Design). His extensive construction background is evident when you see all of the projects that he is involved with. Joseph's attention to detail, knowledge of the industry and use of today's most technological design programs is the reason I referred my parents to him to design their new home. Joseph is always pleasant and very easy to work with which is important when going through the design phase on a re-model or new build. Some of my most favorite design concepts that I have seen in new homes have come by his design. I can tell you that when I get ready to build my dream home in a few years I will definitely be calling Joseph with DreamView.”

Mary Weimer, ASID
Architects & Building Designers in Benton City.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 December 2012
“We had a flood in our basement in March, 2012, I called Mary Weimer, owner of Desert Designs Interiors, after I realized that I would need to make an insurance claim. She helped me with the Insurance. When the Insurance adjuster came to check the damage, Mary was here to make sure nothing was missed for the insurance claim. I wanted my basement to be very attractive, and comfortable, most importantly healthy eliminating all mold, mildew, and future problems. Because of my allergies, we used low VOC paints, soy based foam insulation, and soy based carpet pad. As we got into the project, we did find move work that needed to be done, including a large Japanese bathroom with showers, and a half bath. We decided to take care of all the work and gut, correct, change, and bring everything up to code. Mary told me she wouldn't let me make any mistakes with the choice of materials, designs, and installation of what we needed to do. I'm very glad that Mary worked with me and gave us wonderful guidance. Mary's employees were professionals, and very accommodating to work with. I'm very pleased with the outcome of our healthy, new living space which turned out to be very attractive and unique.”

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 Benton City, WA, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Benton City, WA 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 Benton City, WA 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 Benton City, WA 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, Benton City, WA 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.


Questions to ask prospective Benton City, WA architects:


  • 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 is your fee structure?
  • 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.)
