MDA Design Ltd
Architects & Building Designers in Carnforth.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 May 2017
“When looking for an architect MDA Architectural Services Ltd came recommended by a friend. From the beginning they were completely professional and all the staff who I had contact with couldn't be more helpful. From the original drawings to the final plans the team were happy to make any changes I requested. When looking for a builder to complete my extension, everyone commented on the quality of the drawings and the detail within. For me that says it all when fellow professionals comment on the quality of work. I'd happily use and recommend MDA Architectural Services Ltd to anyone.”

Geoffrey Wallace Limited
Architects & Building Designers in Carnforth.
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars18 September 2017
“I worked with Geoff back in 2014 when he designed a pair of semi detached houses for me. I cannot recommend him highly enough; he listened to what I wanted and no adjustment however small was ever any trouble. I truly believe Geoffs expertise resulted in the best possible houses I could have hoped for on the site. His many years of experience shon through and he provided me with invaluable advise throughout my build.. I'd use him again in a heartbeat.”
Chetham Architecture Design
Architects & Building Designers in Carnforth.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 November 2016
“Hill House is a 16th century former farm house, the main part of which had been converted into modern living accommodation some time ago but which had an adjoining single storey outbuilding/small barn, used for storage, with the western aspect facing onto the Lyth Valley. The brief to Tim Chetham was to develop plans which would see the conversion of this outbuilding into a 2-storey development consisting of a living room and en-suite bedroom, ensuring that the new blended seamlessly with the old, and importantly, maximising the views onto the spectacular Lyth Valley. In scoping the project, Tim engaged well with us and gained a thorough understanding of our requirements. He translated our ideas, some of which were modified by his suggestions, into drawings which, when the final build was completed, exceeded our expectations by, internally, opening up the flow through the ground floor rooms, and upstairs an en-suite bedroom making effective use of the space and, importantly for us, maximising the views from both rooms. Tim met all agreed tasks on schedule and was within his quotation. We would certainly use his services again if required and would have no hesitation in recommending him to others - which we have already done!”
David Machell Architecture
Architects & Building Designers in Carnforth.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 September 2020
“We commissioned David to draw up plans for our extension and were really happy with the ideas he came up with. He was clear throughout about the advantages and disadvantages of each design (best use of space, costs, etc.), which was really helpful in making our decision of which one to go ahead with. We would recommend his services to anyone looking for an architect’s input to a building project.”
Zub-Architecture
Architects & Building Designers in Carnforth.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 November 2020
“Thomas Zub from Zub Architecture designed a new £300,000 indoor swimming pool at our hotel The Sheraton in Blackpool. The brief was to create a beautifully lit, 5 star environment with heated pool, Jacuzzi, lounger area, changing rooms and showers. The final design completely exceeded my expectations, the lighting and tiles are spectacular. Thomas was wonderful to deal with, very talented and professional and he dedicated so much time to the project. I felt the service was great value for money too. If you would like to see the pool when its open please ask Thomas for my details. Zub Architecture are highly recommended.”
Ian Palmer Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Carnforth.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 March 2018
“My Company recently instructed Ian Palmer Architects to design and submit a planning application for a bespoke Home Office. I have to say Ian's attention to detail along with his vision and passion, has resulted in our expectations being far exceeded. Here's to a long and lasting business relationship. Great work Ian.”
Group D Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Carnforth.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 May 2021
“From the moment I approached Group D Architects, I felt an immediate sense of confidence that they were going to deliver a fantastic project for my new home. From the initial consultation, and providing me with lots of amazing ideas for the improvements to my home, right through to dealing with my local planning authority and liaising with the builders to built completion - they were absolutely brilliant. They took care of everything - all I had to do was choose which designs I liked!”

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 Carnforth, Lancashire, UK, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Carnforth, Lancashire, UK 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 Carnforth, Lancashire, UK 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 Carnforth, Lancashire, UK 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, Carnforth, Lancashire, UK 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.)
