MCAS - Max Capocaccia Architecture Studio
Architects & Building Designers in Bankside.
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars27 November 2017
“When it came to building our own house, Max and his team came on board to help put the finishing touches on the design and detail up our plans. They were very accommodating, considering that, as clients who work in the industry, we were very much a part of the process. Max helped to push some aspects of the design architecturally, and we are really happy with the end result. They were professional but still approachable and friendly to deal with. MCAS are passionate about sustainable design, which is very important to us too, so they were a great fit for us and our project.”

“Nick Mann and his team were superb to deal with throughout the complete design and build of our commercial building. Without Nick's excellent guidance, patience and professionalism our project may not have been completed. If you want to have a relationship with honest, hardworking and excellent designers who put the client first, then I fully recommend AO Architecture.”

“A great pleasure working with the guys at BuildBim in high end residential design projects. Great professional manner and business conduct. They provided me with good realistic architectural concepts to work from and produce architectural building consent drawings.”

“I have worked with the BBA team providing landscape design services for several residences around Christchurch and have found them fantastic to work with. They are enthusiastic and responsive to new ideas, materials and approaches and their expertise in sustainable design strategies provides a great inspiration for environmentally friendly landscapes. Perhaps the best testimonial is meeting BBA clients who remain totally in love with their homes many years after it was built.”

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 Bankside, Canterbury, New Zealand, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Bankside, Canterbury, New Zealand 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 Bankside, Canterbury, New Zealand 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 Bankside, Canterbury, New Zealand 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, Bankside, Canterbury, New Zealand 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.

  • Can you handle my special requests?
  • What is your experience with similar projects/ architectural design and style?

  • 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.)
