D.G. Dunsmore Architect, P.C.
Architects & Building Designers in Geddes.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 November 2014
“Mr. Dunsmore was very instrumental in the design and build of our home in Baldwinsville, NY. We decided to have Dave draw up the plans to build our dream home after talking to many professionals. We gave Dave a list of our ideas, a basic plan we found on the internet and he put together a set of plans that that went above and beyond anything we dreamed of. I would recommend him to anyone that can use his various services. Dave was easy to work with and went the extra mile to make our build a very pleasant experience.”

Greg Abdo
Architects & Building Designers in Geddes.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 February 2016
“Greg Abdo is the consummate architectural professional and we give him our highest praise and recommendations. He is honest, hard-working, and a "straight shooter". We worked with Greg from "soup to nuts" on a major home remodeling project that included renovation of our kitchen, living room, and bathroom as well as the addition of a two-story great room. Greg worked closely with us to develop the design that would help us realize the dreams for our home and remained an integral part of the project, acting as the project manager, throughout the construction phase. From the start, Greg listened to our ideas and needs and put his considerable architectural and project management talents to work making them a reality. He brought skilled craftsman to work on our home and was very attentive to our budget and schedule, working through the "rough spots" (common to any construction project) with grace and poise. He has strong relationships within the industry and worked tirelessly on our behalf to get the best value for our project. We are continuing our relationship with Greg this spring to help us with the landscaping phase of our project. Jim and Judy”
Donahoe Group
Architects & Building Designers in Geddes.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 February 2016
“The Donahoe group designed our beautiful home. Seven years later they designed a downstair space for out of town guests, and now we have hired them for a garden room design. Why do we keep coming back? It's plain and simple, they take my ideas and turn them into something special! From start to finish it is Always a positive experience. Now the next generation in our family is a customer. Our son is having his house designed by the Donahoe group.”
Rod VanDerWater-Architect P.C.
Architects & Building Designers in Geddes.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 June 2016
“Rod is an amazing architect. He has the ability to turn discussions into dream plans. Rod started designing our home about 15 months ago. He has been involved with the design and implementation of this plan. I not only would state Rod is a great architect, but also a very honest and trustworthy person. We will move into our dream home within a few months and can't praise Rod enough for the amazing design and constant communication. I have realized that the architect is the foundation to an amazing project. Without Rod, I am not sure how we would have gotten through the construction.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 July 2015
“As a professional I highly recommend Daniel Manning for both residential and commercial projects. His attention to client needs, design, detail, timeline and cost are what makes working with his company exceptional. Working with Daniel Manning for the past 30 years on various projects as an Interior Designer has been a pleasure.”

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 Geddes, NY, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Geddes, NY 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 Geddes, NY 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 Geddes, NY 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, Geddes, NY 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 Geddes, NY 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?
