David Charlez Designs
Architects & Building Designers in Faribault.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 August 2017
“Dave Charlez Designs was amazing to work with on our custom home build. The home turned out just as we had imagined it and the process was easy and fun. What set David Charlez Designs apart from other architects was the reasonable price and 3D imagery of the interior and exterior of the home. Very professional, very talented, and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an architect in the Twin Cities.”

“Outstanding Design and Construction. I have worked with Homes by Tradition and highly recommend them. I really like their design and their customer service. I worked directly with LaVern Rod in Plymouth, she was great at communicating and following through.”
AUROMIRA ARCHITECTS
Architects & Building Designers in Faribault.
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars2 August 2013
“Project involved complete remodel of home basement into office, handicap bathroom, bedroom, laundry, mechanical room and storage. Space utilization and efficiency were critical. Architect was highly professional, accommodating and thorough. She worked closely with the general contractor regarding layout details to meet customer requirements and desires. Multiple plan details were revised promptly. She listened to customer issues very well, did not "push" us one way or the other and was a delight to work with. P.S. We have very high standards for quality and are knowledgeable in construction.”
Addison Interiors, LLC

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 May 2013
“I always thought I was the kind of person who would never need a decorator’s help because I am usually confident in how I want a room to look. However, this past fall, I was very humbled when in the middle of a bathroom project, I found the room not looking anything like the way I planned it. The walls were great, the chandelier was lovely… but the room just did not have “the look”! As much as I like decorating to be finished as soon as possible, I was clueless on what to do next and my husband just wanted the bathroom back! While online looking at bathroom photos, I came across the phone number of Addison Interior Design. Shortly after speaking with Rebeka, I made an appointment for Elaine to visit. She immediately knew what was wrong and how to fix it. She came up with an idea for the shower that I didn’t even know existed, she added granite that enhanced everything in the room, and a mirror that made the ceiling look higher than you can imagine. I love the distinctive look that not only looks lovely, it has personality! Elegant, yet not too serious. Many thanks to Elaine, Rebeka and Elana at Addison Interior Design. You all did a great job! Just an aside: Peter and I had a New Year’s Eve party shortly after the bathroom was complete. When a guest walked into the bathroom and screamed, I thought “Yes, Elaine nailed it!”. Jeanne and Peter”

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.

How do I find the best Faribault, MN 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 Faribault, MN 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 Faribault, MN 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, Faribault, MN 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.

  • 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?

  • 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.)
