Featured Reviews for Architects & Building Designers in Greater Geelong.

Ed Ewers Architecture
Architects & Building Designers in Greater Geelong.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 December 2015
“We have used Ed for both of our renovations and have found him to be a great architect. For our first project we used Ed for both the design and the project management of a small renovation. We loved the design which dragged a 1970s monstrosity of a house (think lots of mission brown and wood panelling) right into the 21st Century. Tweaks that Ed made to layout just made the house 'work'. We were exceedingly happy with the result. Ed and his team worked tirelessly behind the scenes so that while we had the usual decisions to make, any of those problems that inevitably turn up on the site were solved before they hit our radar. Our second project was based in Sydney (see Ed's project titled 'Springfield' ) and although we spoke with some local architects we didn't get the same comfortable feeling as we had with Ed. Our second renovation was a major undertaking on a heritage listed house where there had been multiple renovations done in the past and little coherence. The floorplan had small spaces left over that had no practical use and the house was very tired. We extended but only by a small amount but again by rationalising the floorplan we have ended up with a much more usable space. The end result is a gorgeous home. This time I was the project manager but Ed and his team remained on call through-out for whenever my builder or I had any queries. What I love about Ed is that we have achieved a great balance between gorgeous design and practicality. The space looks fab but it is also easy to live in and we love that!”

Belco Group
Architects & Building Designers in Greater Geelong.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 August 2018
“I was recommended to contract Cameron Bell of Belcro Group for all elements of my project- an extensive house renovation , and extension with landscaping ,in the coastal location of Lorne. Right from the very first meeting I was impressed by Cam’s easy going nature ‘can do’ approach and extremely positive attitude. The range of professional services provided by Belcro Group was perfect for my project- due to neatly encompassing all realms of the planning, designing, renovation and building process. Starting with a features survey - followed by renovation advice, then planning and building applications to, and meetings with council ,a detailed extension and landscaping design including impressive fly through 3D video link simulating walking through the house and garden. There was nothing that Cam couldn’t do! Literally all elements of the sometimes confusing and tricky business of building and renovating are very professionally and efficiently managed by Belcro Group, and in a price competitive manner. The very high standard of plans , drawings and design innovations delivered time efficiently make Belcro an outstanding choice for any prospective client seeking assistance for a small or large scale residential and even commercial project. I highly recommend Cam from Belcro to support your building project, as he is extremely personable, a great listener, and a very possibilities oriented person-Cam ensures the sometimes challenging process of project managing is made easy and fun.”
Quin Wyatt Building Designer
Architects & Building Designers in Greater Geelong.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 June 2017
“After being very confused about whether or not to go for an architect or a building designer, and how to even start the process of building, we found Quin Wyatt. We had narrowed it down to 3 firms, however Quin Wyatt was the only one prepared to sit and listen to our needs, show us previous work and then gauge what we needed. His passion and enthusiasm for our project was wonderful...it wasn't just another job for him, he was in for the journey with us.”

Atlas Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Greater Geelong.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 November 2015
“Creative, attentive, efficient, hard working, totally professional and focused on great creative outcomes, these young architects have been a delight to work with. From creative schemes to detailed plans to working with councils, statutory authorities, builders and tradesmen, they couple a youthful innovative approach with a practical hands on attention to building, construction, planning , timelines and budgets which gets the job done. They are conscious of budget and value and have over- delivered at every step of the client architect relationship and Project. Young minds and old heads. We would work with them again in a heartbeat. And I would unhesitatingly recommend them to anyone.”

Positive Footprints Pty Ltd
Architects & Building Designers in Greater Geelong.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 November 2014
“Positive Footprints have done an outstanding job from the design stage right through to the building process. The house is on a small inner city block, with heritage and overlooking restrictions. My brief was for a sustainable house, with flexible spaces, outdoor vistas; which was light filled and capitalized on its northern sunny orientation. Extending only two meters kept the garden as large as possible. Three upstairs decks increase outdoor living, cross ventilation and the vistas of sky. Positive Footprints were professional, open and helpful; and provided impeccable craftsmanship. They enabled me to incorporate my mosaic tile designs, the use of unusual materials and other personal interior design choices. A melding of their inspired, sustainable design and my creative input, has resulted in a beautiful and comfortable house which is a pleasure to live in.”
SawMill Designs
Architects & Building Designers in Greater Geelong.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 December 2022
“We were so thrilled with Sam from SawMill Designs and the work he did on our renovation design. We had a very small cottage and he designed a beautiful family home with everything we could’ve hoped for plus things we didn’t even realise we wanted. Sam’s attention detail, dedication and integrity was admirable and most appreciated. He is very knowledgeable and highly skilled within the building design space, so we knew we were in good hands. We loved working with him and highly recommend SawMill Designs.”

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 Greater Geelong, VIC, AU, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Greater Geelong, VIC, AU 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 Greater Geelong, VIC, AU 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 Greater Geelong, VIC, AU 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, Greater Geelong, VIC, AU 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.
