“If you desire something truly innovative and unique, you're going to love partnering with Jonathan Lamar. We've worked on several projects with Lamar Architecture. His 3D rendering skills omit any guess work of what the end results will be. He's a professional and makes the necessary revision requests, per his clients, to make the job perfect.”
Ethan Allen Design Center - Paducah, KY
Architects & Building Designers in Blackford.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 May 2014
“I visited the EA Design Center in Paducah while visiting a friend in April. I have been looking to re-do my living room and master bedroom and live in central KY. A friend who had been there had told me to go through the Paducah EA and "make sure you request to meet with Amy." So, I followed the advice and walked in there on a Saturday morning. To be quite truthful, I was a little worried. I had seen some EA furniture that both my husband and I really liked, but when visiting another EA location in the winter, we were both more than a little off-put. I didn't honestly have an optimistic outlook, but we'd seen some Ethan Allen items we loved, so I thought I'd give it a chance since I was in town. I was met by a friendly face and shared that I was looking for Amy, to which she responded, "that's me! How can I help?" Already, I was receiving better treatment than I had in the past. I spent the next little while in there, and the entire time, Amy could not have been more patient, friendly, and helpful. She understood mine and my husband's tastes, appreciated what we absolutely did not want, and basically was able to perfectly plan out our home's changes according to what we wanted. If I had questions (which I did, and lots of them), she had answers. It got to the point that I was ready to pull the trigger on a purchase for our home, which was a reaction I didn't expect at all. I'd gone to browse! I then had to explain to Amy that there were two issues, the first being that my husband wasn't in Paducah with me, and the second being that we were expecting a baby in July, and quite truthfully the idea of a large home renovation was a bit daunting at that time. Honestly, at the other store I'd visited, this information would have caused the salesperson to shut down. A sale that isn't that day isn't a sale. However, Amy's reaction was the complete opposite. She was so understanding, and she told me whenever my husband and I were settled with our baby and ready to make the move, she'd be there and have all of our information on file, which she had been noting during our entire conversation. When I left, she told me to take care of myself and my sweet baby, and she'd see us when we were ready. Although my husband and I haven't made a purchase through Ethan Allen Paducah yet (nine weeks from our due date!), we will, and we will be working with Amy. We have told everyone we know if they're interested in getting new furniture, that's the place to go, and she's the woman to ask for.”

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. Architects can help you design and redesign spaces of your home or focus on helping you build your own house from the ground up. 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 Blackford, KY, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Blackford, KY 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 Blackford, KY 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 Blackford, KY 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, Blackford, KY 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 Blackford, KY 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.)
  • Will you help with hiring a general contractor and other subcontractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
