Kaegan Walsh Architect
Architects & Building Designers in Blue Mountains.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 June 2023
“We worked with Kaegan on the addition of a year round sunroom for our home. He was very knowledeable and using my sketches drew up working plans to help us navigate the complexities of the building code, and produced a great design with which to obtain building quotes etc. He helped us realize the vision we had for our home and we would definitely recommend hiring him! Our next project may be a kitchen reno including the removal of a wall. Rick Crouch and Sandy Raymer”

“I have worked on a few projects with Cassie at Bird Architecture. She is great to work with and creative to finding different ways to overcome design challenges on the projects we've done. She is always there to the end to make sure the project gets completed.”
Imagine Inc — Home & Commercial Design
Architects & Building Designers in Blue Mountains.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 April 2013
“We have had a good experience working with Lester from Imagine Your Home as we went through a home reno project. He helped us from the start when we just had some basic ideas of what we wanted to do. His knowledge and experience in the building industry shone through as we stepped our way through the project. We would certainly recommend him to anyone looking at either building or renovating their home. We took our early 80's bungalow and freshened it up, added a 2 car garage and office, and got a bigger kitchen out of the deal, which was what we wanted in the first place. Lester has been very good at using creative ideas to utilize space in a practical way, and make it look nice at current with 2013.”
Steve Hamelin Design Studio
Architects & Building Designers in Blue Mountains.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars31 October 2014
“We contracted Hamelin Architecture to draw a 2-storey addition onto our existing 100-year old house. The rooms added included a master suite, a Great Room, powder room, mudroom, and garage. Steve Hamelin designed the addition (currently under construction), which not only matches the the existing style of the house, but also will be very functional for me and my family. He made excellent suggestions that we hadn't considered, and worked with the Town of Oakville to make sure that the drawings met all Town codes. Great experience and highly recommended!”

Daymark Design Incorporated
Architects & Building Designers in Blue Mountains.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 January 2023
“I am constantly impressed by Adrian at Daymark Design during the entire process of my house build. Adrian listened to our criteria, determined our needs, and designed a beautiful home. He refined ideas with us, sharing his expertise and rationale throughout the process. He understood our limitations due to our difficult site, budget and small crew and still managed to create exactly what we wanted. Adrian and Daymark Design have been the best asset during our house build. He promptly responds to various questions, and provides great feedback during site visits. We feel honoured to work with him during our house build, and are always so grateful for his work.”
Midland Home Hardware Building Centre
Architects & Building Designers in Blue Mountains.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 June 2014
“I deal with the design team regularly, specifically Venessa. They are all very helpful, knowledgeable and also creative with their designs. They go above and beyond for their customers on a regular basis. Even better, at the design showroom, there are so many unique options to see in store which makes them my choice north of the city, and you will definitely get better service too.”

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 Blue Mountains, ON, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Blue Mountains, ON 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 Blue Mountains, ON 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 Blue Mountains, ON 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, Blue Mountains, ON 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 Blue Mountains, ON 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?
  • What will I need to provide?
