Architects & Building Designers in Lanark.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 November 2014
“A young, dynamic and creative team who are all about the client's needs, with some of the smallest egos to be found in the field. In-house passive house certification means they have the rare ability to design houses that are high-performing in terms of energy-efficiency while fully integrating good aesthetic design. Excellent communicators who bring together the right people to see a project through. We've been very happy with them.”

John Donkin Architect Inc.
Architects & Building Designers in Lanark.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 February 2014
“My wife and I interviewed several architects. What we found interesting about John was his unique approach. We knew we would get his full attention and that was exactly what he delivered. Building an infill is tricky. Maximizing natural light and interesting sight lines was a challenge that John was up for. In the end our home is something that we were thrilled with. With time the small but important design details constantly remind us of how special and talented John is. John Donkin has a unique portfolio and provides individual and focused attention to each project.”
Diane Whalen Architect
Architects & Building Designers in Lanark.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 November 2014
“Diane did an amazing job transforming our house into the perfect home! When we sold our house this past spring everyone kept commenting on the amazing design! Diane also did an amazing job managing the project - so much that I kept saying "doing a reno is easy"! I realize it was easy as Diane was carrying all my stress. She managed the timelines and the budget brilliantly! And of course - she was very easy and professional. I was always confident with her advice - I knew it was well researched and thought through! I also knew that the contracts she provided and the payments she approved were done correctly - and I didn't have to worry about issues with contractors. My husband and I would highly recommend her!

Habitat Concepts Residential Design
Architects & Building Designers in Lanark.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 November 2014
“Our contractor referred us to Habitat Concepts Residential Design in Kingston, to design our new home and prepare the construction drawings. We worked with the owner of the business, John Johnson. We were very impressed with John's knowledge of design, materials, local code, materials, timeliness of response, etc, etc. He was never short on ideas, always polite and attentive, and seemed to have unlimited patience. Overall we would strongly recommend Habitat Concepts for anyone wanting to design a new home in the Greater Kingston area.”
Polcan Design Group
Architects & Building Designers in Lanark.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 March 2013
“Polcan Design Group created house designs for us as well as poured the concrete for our Nudura home. My husband and I built our own home and one day we went to our site after work and PDG had been there and completed some exterior work for us at no extra charge. When I called them later they said they were in the area and finished early and wanted to give us a little boost with our project. They helped us over the phone many times as well. It's rare to find businesses in this day and age that actually care about people and want to provide quality services. We appreciated all the help PDG gave us while building our home.”

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

How do I find the best Lanark, 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 Lanark, 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 Lanark, 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, Lanark, 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 Lanark, 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?
