Studio Cassa
Architects & Building Designers in Ralston.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 June 2020
“Cassie was great to work with. Her light scope design was exactly what we were looking for. Building a new home felt overwhelming with all the decisions to make so I felt we needed to have a visual of what our space would look like. And that is exactly what we got with Studio Cassa!”

“I own a Design and Build Construction Firm and have employed a number of architectural services over the years. Kenny is great on his understanding of the construction process, prompt with his drawing work and easy to communicate with. I recommend him for just about any size home renovate or building project.”

“We were so fortunate that we got to watch the construction of daughters home which was designed by Bailey Austin. We were so impressed that we also hired her. Her professionalism is impressive, her architectural design is perfectly suited to our needs and we have the added bonus of her impeccable interior design!”
Steve Cantrell Design and Drafting
Architects & Building Designers in Ralston.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 December 2015
“Steve Cantrell drafted the floor plan and elevations for our custom 2500 sq. ft. ranch-style house. We did not use an architect, so Steve took our drawings and converted them into high-quality professional floor plans, providing architectural input on numerous occasions. Steve does very accurate work so there are minimal errors. He also stands by his work until it's right and the customer is happy!Steve is easy to work with and communication was excellent throughout the process. Steve listened well during in-person meetings, providing suggestions and accepting changes/corrections without frustration or stress. This was very important for us, since we made significant changes to the plans during the project, which was a learning process for us. Printed drafts of the plans were provided for review to ensure the floor plan was correct before the final versions, with all the dimensions, was prepared. Steve also provided a pdf draft by e-mail, which allowed us to communicate changes/corrections via either e-mail or text messages, while he was working on the document, saving us time.Steve provided accurate estimates on the timing and cost for the job, which were both very reasonable. We would use Steve again and recommend him for your project.”

Designer's Ink Graphic & Building Designs, LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Ralston.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 September 2016
“I hired Jeff from Designer's Ink for a kitchen/living room remodel project. I have been extremely happy with the service I have received. Jeff has been prompt, flexible, and incredibly helpful. After the first estimate came in from a builder, I was overwhelmed. I called Jeff in a panic. He came right out and went through the estimate with me and helped me make changes to my house plans based on the estimate and my budget. I would definitely hire him again! It was a pleasure working with Designer's Ink!”

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 Ralston, OK, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Ralston, OK 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 Ralston, OK 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 Ralston, OK 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, Ralston, OK 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 Ralston, OK 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?
