Featured Reviews for Architects & Building Designers in Drambuie.

Cooper Architectural
Architects & Building Designers in Drambuie.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 August 2019
“Jamie worked with us and listened to our ideas. He explained options, was happy for us to spend time thinking and when our builder made a suggestion that suited him rather than us Jamie was quick to step in. He had a clear idea of what we wanted our pagoda extension for and was quick to point out potentially how dark this could make our kitchen. An excellent light tunnel he designed for our kitchen solved that. We could not be happier.”

“We have used Kenny at KW Architectural for over 5 years now for all our large projects, including sunrooms, conservatories and extensions. He is extremely reliable and always goes the extra mile to ensure we have drawings ready for our clients when required - sometimes with very short notice! His knowledge and talent is a great asset to my business and I would have no hesitation in recommending his services to others.”

“WhiteHill Designs have been integral to delivering our dream home. From day one, they have been passionate about capturing and translating our vision into a reality; enhancing it with some great, innovative ideas and exciting approaches to low-impact sustainable living. Their attention to detail at every level has been exceptional; leaving us confident that every angle of the design has been considered carefully and contractors have no confusion or scope for error. Because WHD are a family business, we have always felt reassured that everyone supports each other and works in harmony. Our family would highly recommend WHD; if you’re looking for a company that will guide you through an otherwise complex minefield of legislation and standards and help you bring unusual designs to life, David and his family are the company for you.”

How do I find the best Drambuie, Dumfries & Galloway, 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.

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.
