    Architects & Building Designers in Manukau.
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 November 2023
    “We had an amazing experience working with Nala Studio Architects for the design and building consent of our new home. They were friendly, attentive, and really took the time to understand our needs and preferences. The end result is a beautiful and functional home design that we absolutely love. We would highly recommend Noor and Nala Studio Architects to anyone looking for a residential architect in New Zealand. Their attention to detail, creativity, and expertise made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. Thank you, for helping to create our dream home!”
    Four Walls Architecture
    Architects & Building Designers in Manukau.
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 July 2015
    “Four Walls Architecture designed a large contemporary home for us on a site situated in Westmere, Auckland. They carried out the conceptual design work, assisted with the resource consent application and completed the detailed design and building consent application. Our brief was quite specific in regards to the general look we were trying to achieve, the size and layout of the home, the use of low maintenance materials and a high degree of energy efficiency. The design process was a very pleasant experience and Four Walls was always open to discussing any ideas or opinions we had and incorporating them into the design accordingly. The home is currently being built and it is great seeing how the ideas are being transformed from plans and computer models to a physical form. The way it is turning out has exceeded our expectations in a number of ways and it is truly turning out to be our dream home! Four Walls has continued to be very helpful and provide assistance to both us and the builder in a timely manner during the building process. I have already recommended them to another family member who is using them for an extensive renovation in Herne Bay and would certainly not hesitate recommending them to anyone else, or to use them again.”

    Milieu: Architecture + Design
    Architects & Building Designers in Manukau.
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 May 2016
    “Kate's used her professional's knowledge and experience in renovating small spaces to create a kitchen plan that makes the best use of space, is functional and looks great. The Concept design plan was innovative, beautiful and created elements that I hadn't previously considered. I'm looking forward to working with Kate to compete the renovation.”
    Sophie Bishop Architects

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 January 2024
    “We absolutely love what Sophie came up with for us. She carefully listened to our varied and complex requirements and provided us with a range of solutions to consider - we ended up with something we are so happy with. We felt she really took the time to hear our thoughts, and provided such a wealth of knowledge to guide us. We're so excited for our new house!”
    Sandrina Huish Interiors
    Architects & Building Designers in Manukau.
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 September 2016
    “I have worked with Sandrina Huish for many years in her roles as both photographer and CAD technician. She is totally reliable and highly skilled in both areas and has been a real asset to my business - in fact she is a key person in my team. Sandrina works to the same high standard as myself and thanks to Sandrina and her daughter Alisha, over the years I have had many compliments on the standard of the CAD drawing of my design work. Sandrina cares passionately about her job, has an extensive knowledge of kitchen and cabinetry design and never fails to meet the sometimes tight deadlines I require of her.”
    Permit Shop Ltd.
    Architects & Building Designers in Manukau.
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 March 2016
    “Nik, Harley and the team did a superb job, totally living up to their Permitshop name on a major overhaul and extension of our 104 year old arts and crafts home. Even more noteworthy is that they had to put up with me an architect living offshore, demanding the impossible from afar and with no current knowledge of the current NZ planning regs or building code. Their calm, talent and professional approach is so reassuring and the work was done on time and they always delivered even with constant difficult neighbour issues to deal with!”
    Designpoint Architecture
    Architects & Building Designers in Manukau.
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 June 2016
    “I engaged Designpoint with a fairly detailed brief and some clear functional ideas. The most important aspect for me was the ability to work together over detailed aspects of the design in order to understand the final outcome. I enjoyed the working relationship and found Designpoint very available and easy to engage with. The design of this 400m2 contemporary house was completed on time and to a fixed budget. The engagement between Designpoint and the builder enabled a speedy completion of Code Compliance at the end of the project. I am totally satisfied with the finished outcome of the design including positioning on a 1500m2 site and the connection with final landscape effects.”
    MAXIMARC Limited
    Architects & Building Designers in Manukau.
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 October 2018
    “We highly recommend MAXIMARC LIMITED to anyone looking for architectural services. After working with Cameron on several successful alteration projects, the opportunity arose for us to work together on a new build in Wellington. Tremendous architecture is the result which matches the brief perfectly, While the site is difficult the archectural framing of both hillside and harbour views is ideal. Furthermore, the arresting arrangement of materials and textures is admired by neighbours and passers by alike (as well as ourselves) and belies the reasonable construction cost. We are very happy clients.”
    Ron Seeto Architect
    Architects & Building Designers in Manukau.
    Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars15 June 2017
    “Ron Seeto project managed our home improvements after he had done the drawings of what we the client wanted to achieve. Major out door changes saw new swimming pool with a large dining entertaining area with outdoor fireplace and BBQ area. Many challenges with changes of drains etc as many unknown features when we started but a professional finish to a satisfied customer”

    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 Manukau, Auckland, New Zealand, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

    How do I find the best Manukau, Auckland, New Zealand 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 Manukau, Auckland, New Zealand 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 Manukau, Auckland, New Zealand 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, Manukau, Auckland, New Zealand 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.

    • 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?
