Ervin Architecture
Architects & Building Designers in Beddington.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 May 2017
“Robert and I went to Architecture school together and I have followed his success ever since. As and architect myself, I love watching the evolution of, and being inspired by his designs. There is a clarity and delicacy to his work that is unique. Talented, practically oriented and willing to work with his clients and others in a collaborative fashion are just a few of the things that make him a fantastic architect.”
Brian Reading, Architect
Architects & Building Designers in Beddington.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 June 2016
“We engaged Brian to design and supervise the construction of our lakefront vacation home in Maine, and we simply couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. During the design process, Brian worked efficiently and collaboratively to incorporate our input/feedback on the style, floor plan, elevations and features -- all while staying reasonably within our expected budget for the project. Because we were not local, communication was critical and Brian did an excellent job in that regard. Brian also worked closely with our builder throughout the construction to ensure everything was consistent with his vision and ours. In short, Brian did an outstanding job for us and I recommend him wholeheartedly.”
Eric Reinholdt, Architect
Architects & Building Designers in Beddington.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 November 2013
“As a contractor and project manager I've worked on several projects with Eric Reinholdt, and hope that there are more in the future. He has been an integral part of the team on every venture; providing skilled and experienced design work for the clients, and accurate and timely information to the tradesmen on site. Accessibility and attention to detail mean everything to construction projects, and I've found no one better than Eric on those fronts. Eric has a firm grasp on both architecture and project execution, and has shared my obligation to client satisfaction on all projects. The clients count on his architectural ability, and I count on his technical ability... he hasn't failed yet.”

“Stewart and his team are creative & practical - a perfect mix. They really engage with their clients, explore alternatives, and create imaginative spaces geared to their clients' styles. They are strong with structural issues and are knowledgeable about materials. I've used them on multiple projects over a 20 year period.”
George Gekas Design
Architects & Building Designers in Beddington.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 January 2014
“George Gekas has been a gift in our lives. In 2011, we purchased a tiny wreck of a cottage on a beautiful piece of land on Mt. Desert Island. There were many rigid restrictions re construction, due to the location and history of the property. George found creative and marvelous solutions to every problem. Every inch of space was utilized in the best possible way. His vision matched and encouraged our dreams. He created a magical place for us and our family, and we are grateful.”

How do I find the best Beddington, ME 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 Beddington, ME 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 Beddington, ME 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, Beddington, ME 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.
