“We have used to Bob Yabarra on 3 projects that required as built drawings, and a two story house renovation. The products were professional, per our agreement, on time, and for a fare price. He is fare and though we made changes there was never an extra charge to us.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 April 2013
“This was my first kitchen remodel and Ben made the process as easy as possible. Because of contractor issues, I needed more than one re-order, and Ben was incredibly easy to work with. He laid out all the options for me, and guided me in choosing what was best for my space. Also, he's just a really nice guy.”
Stratos Form
Architects & Building Designers in Fontana.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 November 2015
“Wow! Stratos Form not only met our expectations but greatly exceeded them! I can not say enough about Carol and the positive role she played in our entire project. She not only was brilliant in the concept and design of our home, but she was always professional and gave us perfect advise through the entire Design Review process with the City of Laguna Beach (always a tough one). Our architectural plans were beyond thorough, our builder said he had never seen such detailed drawings. During the conceptual process Carol listened to our needs and incorporated all of our requests, while maintaining the highest of design standards. I would eagerly refer Carol and Stratos Form to anyone who asked!”

LeMaster Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Fontana.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars31 March 2013
“My project for this firm was to update and modernize a 1950's tiny (750 sq. ft.) bungalow that I bought in anticipation of retirement and downsizing. It had not been remodeled since it was built, and, while solid, needed lots of work. I wanted a more open feel (but without moving a lot of walls, to keep costs down), a larger bathroom, and lots of built in storage. This was a complete remodel--all new everything (including plumbing and wiring), so I knew the basics alone would not be cheap. LeMaster Architects helped me with all phases of this project, from generating ideas to a very well thought out final plan to materials selection. While they had lots of very good ideas of their own they were also completely willing to listen to mine, and incorporate them where feasible. They met all deadlines, were available whenever I had questions, and my contractor told me they were the best architects he had ever worked with. I have been living in the house for 5 years now and I have yet to find anything I wish I had done differently. And I know this is because I had such a great contractor, and such great architects.”
Scott Bunney Architect
Architects & Building Designers in Fontana.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 February 2013
“Scott provided exactly what i was looking for in a contractor . He , first of all listened , too both me and my contractor , as to what we thought we wanted . He then provided his own thoughts to the project , went away and came back with a price for the job . After a brief discussion on other recommendations we signed a contract . He then did what he does best . The drawings came in on schedule and after a few , minor changes , came back with the final drawings which were submitted for engineering approval . Permits were obtained without a glitch . I , and my contractor , are very pleased with the final result . I now have a patio that is quite worthy of the oohs and aahs of both neighbors and friends . I would highly recommend Scott as a professional and his abilities as an architect .”

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 Fontana, CA, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Fontana, CA 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 Fontana, CA 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 Fontana, CA 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, Fontana, CA 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 Fontana, CA 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?
