Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 June 2012
“We collaborated with Meyer Design for the interior design/decoration of a beautiful new home designed by their firm.

Widler Architecture
Architects & Building Designers in Coal City.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 April 2014
“I have had the pleasure to work with Brent Widler of Widler Architectural Inc. on several upcoming projects. I find Brent to be a rare breed in the architectural world. He always sees the bigger picture. Brent has a keen eye for design and doesn't just give his clients what works structurally. He takes everything into consideration and is incredibly creative in coming up with solutions that work functionally and look amazing aesthetically. Being an interior designer myself, Brent is a dream to collaborate with! He is always open to ideas and truly listens to the wants and needs of his clients while successfully navigating them through the entire process. I can't recommend Widler Architectural highly enough!”

Marshall Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Coal City.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 December 2012
“We hired Marshall Architects to custom design our dream home. Our dream was to build a prairie style home. We had confidence in Marshall Architects design aesthetics for this style as we've seen a number of his past homes built in the area. We were not sure how it could be pulled off given our limited funds and design criteria. All we can say is that our expectations were exceeded because the design of the home is truly amazing to us and everything we always dreamed about. It is obvious to us that Dan and his team always puts the client's interest first. We never felt rushed at the many decision points and he helped guide us throughout the process. We would recommend Marshall Architects to anyone interested in designing a good looking home, inside and out.”

Ballack Design + Architecture, LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Coal City.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 October 2014
“John Ballack was the primary architect on our highly contemporary house design on a trapezoidal shaped lot in an urban area of Chicago. John’s creativity and dedication to our project were exemplary. John’s calm demeanor yet forceful problem solving abilities proved instrumental in effecting a very successful result through often demanding external circumstances. In addition to the technical aspects of the project, John is extraordinarily easy to work with on everything from broad architectural concepts to the minute design details, from drawing through execution of construction. I would hire John Ballack again without hesitation knowing that architectural success would be the outcome.”

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 Coal City, IL, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Coal City, IL 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 Coal City, IL 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 Coal City, IL 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, Coal City, IL 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 Coal City, IL 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.)
