Featured Reviews for Architects & Building Designers in Matangi.

PAUA Architects Ltd
Architects & Building Designers in Matangi.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 October 2018
“Our house was finished 10 years ago, what I remember was that Geoff Lentz and I had a lot of laughs in the design process and still enjoy catching up from time to time. I showed him pictures of what we wanted and he came up with a stunner. I would change things now (not a lot), but one has to live in the house to learn that.”

“Craig listened to our raw ideas and transformed them into a realisable home that looks great and that we really love living in. From the initial planning stages we were impressed with Craig’s ability to adapt our ideas into a workable plan. The design stage was an easy, streamlined process with good communication and amazing results. Craig continued to be quietly efficient during the construction and completion phases and was able to advise us when concepts were unworkable or needed revision. There are some wonderful features to the house and the feel of the spaces is wonderful. We wanted a character home with light, bright and open spaces that gave a sense of timelessness – and that is exactly what we got! It has amazing street appeal and, more importantly, a great feeling of flow throughout. We just love the house and have had so many compliments on it – we even have people walking past stopping to stare and some are even brave enough to knock on the door and ask who designed it. We would have no hesitation in using Craig again and recommending him to others. Suzanne & Mark.”

“When I was looking at building a house at our beach property at Whangamata, I was told to call Smartdraw Architecture. I met up with Nick with some concept plans I had drawn and discussed my intended project with him. I was impressed with the speed and outcome that Smartdraw Architecture produced and we were very happy with the design. The whole process from design to working drawings and then building consent seemed to me to be very seamless, a lot I believe to be due to Smartdraw Architectures attention to detail and also his efficiency in dealing with any issues. I would not hesitate in recommending Smartdraw Architecture to any prospective home builders.”

“I have worked with Phil Green on numerous projects since 2000 - from commercial projects to residential renovations. Phil has a passion for design and can come up with a creative solution to any problem you can throw at him - from furniture design to house design. His solutions are always well thought out and considerate of the client's budget. Phil listens well to the client's needs and develops a great rapport.”

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

How do I find the best Matangi, Waikato, 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 Matangi, Waikato, 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 Matangi, Waikato, 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, Matangi, Waikato, 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.


Questions to ask prospective Matangi, Waikato, New Zealand 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?
