Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 April 2016
“DeRoo Design drew up my house plans - I took in my idea and Corey put it inside an exterior that was similar to a photo I took him. What a great experience it was working with this company. I would recommend (and have) this company to anyone who is looking for a designer. Corey is very good at what he does and has a natural eye for putting it together with great class and taste.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 November 2017
“I am the Executive Chairman for our Sigma Chapter of the International Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta's Capital Campaign to raze and rebuild our chapter house at Wittenberg University in Springfield, OH. We have hired Craig E. Dillon and his firm at AIA Architects to design our new chapter house and oversee its construction, which we anticipate beginning in May, 2018. We have known and worked with Craig as far back as 2005. We find him thorough, committed to the success of the project, easy to communicate with/a good listener, and up to date with technology within his field.”
David Flannery Architect
Architects & Building Designers in North Star.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 December 2016
“In one word David Flannery is fabulous! He is extremely professional and polite. David's calming personality and listening skills gently guide your needs and desires to become a reality. He has an artistic way of blending individual tastes together and using space wisely. David was a fantastic buffer and mediator when my husband and I disagreed leading us into a remodeling plan that worked for both of us. David has the gift of taking ordinary spaces and transforming them into the extraordinary. I highly recommend David Flannery for your architectural needs.”

How do I find the best North Star, OH 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 North Star, OH 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 North Star, OH 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, North Star, OH 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 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.)
