Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 July 2021
“We are building a new home - Lindsey pulled together our finish selections and created an interior and exterior visualization. Her service was so very helpful to see everything pulled together in that fashion. It made me question and change some of my selections after seeing them come to life. I now feel so much better about the finishes I have selected.”
Hoke Ley
Architects & Building Designers in Ottawa.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 April 2018
“We employed Hoke Ley to design a guest house in Seattle, Wa. We had unique requirements due to the size of the lot and zoning considerations. Their design exceeded my expectations by incorporating unique space saving designs. I also wanted a very green building which used both indoor and outdoor living areas. Working with these young professionals was a pleasant experience because they listened to my needs and cared. We will work with them in the future to design our retirement home.”
Studio605
Architects & Building Designers in Ottawa.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 August 2015
“We hired John Schutt with the architectural firm studio605 to help create a space that integrated all of our clients requests for their remodel. Fulfilling all of the specifics of both myself the designer and my clients was elevated by John's experience, his ease with the prospectus, and the final decisions needed to bring the project to conclusion. I will work with him again and again as his knowledge of the process for new and remodel construction was imperative to the job.”

“Kendall exhibited great professionalism and possessed a pleasing and informative personality. Kendall afforded us every opportunity to ask questions and make changes to the plans with hesitation.

They have fantastic communication skills, and are extremely sensitive to their clients needs. I believe they are one of the best residential Architects in the Mid-West.”
RDM Architecture
Architects & Building Designers in Ottawa.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 December 2013
“Rick led his team on our project to find innovative solutions to our "wish list" that we could have never dreamed of on our own. They created a whole house Master Plan with us and then subdivided that into logical phases. We completed Phase 1 in the Fall of 2012, and we couldn't be happier. The newly expanded spaces, as well as the smaller renovated spaces, all feel fresh and timeless and perfectly functional for our small family. The work included a bump-out expansion on the front of our home which grew the size of both our Master Bedroom and our Guest Bedroom. We also transformed two side-by-side reach-in closets into a walk-in closet and a separate laundry room encased in a new bright and sunny rear facing dormer. Future phases include removal of a load bearing wall to combine two small living spaces into a single, larger space we can entertain in, a renovated Guest Bath, and a brand new Kitchen, among other things. We look forward to starting Phase 2 with RDM Architecture in the early winter of 2015.”

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 Ottawa, KS, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Ottawa, KS 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 Ottawa, KS 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 Ottawa, KS 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, Ottawa, KS 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 Ottawa, KS 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?
