Architects & Building Designers in Rupert.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 September 2014
“I have known and worked with Allison for many years. Allison has always been sensitive to budgets and construction timelines. She is responsive to inquiries and problem solving, and understands what designs would be appropriate for my target markets. Her designs have been sought after throughout my community, and I was happy that I had chosen her to design my homes.”

“We began working with Ted Strosser and Jason Clapp 5 years ago, working at our (slower) pace on the development of a program, design and construction plan for our home. Because we were living in another state, they helped us evaluate alternate builders and oversaw the (Gray Builders) contracting and construction process throughout the build. They were effective working with us virtually and at well-organized, face-to-face monthly meetings. Through the process, Ted and Jason were effective listeners, eliciting the real needs behind all of our Pinterest and HGTV ideas! Both were easygoing and quietly confident, which was particularly reassuring to first-time builders. They brought architectural expertise and their own experiences from residential, conservation and commercial work and materials. This translated into a highly functional and aesthetically appealing design. Ours is a one-of-a-kind home which consistently prompts compliments from those who see it. Working with Ted and Jason was the first, best decision we made with building our home.”
Kate Fairweather Designs and Custom Cabinetry

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 February 2018
“We first worked with Kate Fairweather on a bathroom remodeling project in our home. Her ability to envision the finished project and share her vision helped us all along the way. Now we're involved in a floor-to-ceiling kitchen remodel. Without Kate's expertise and gentle help, we would have given up long ago. Kate is a wonderful resource and takes every project to heart. I recommend her without a moment's hesitation.”

“Todd and his crew are great to work with and their skill with the construction of a highly detailed contemporary addition for our clients is turning out spectacular. Our firm, Strosser Architecture & Conservation, highly recommends Keyser Construction to complete your next project and we look forward to working again with him in the future.”
RAL Architecture & Design

“Working with Bob and his staff to design my new house and guide me through the construction process was a great experience. I provided some rough plans; Bob presented several interesting variations for consideration, pointed out what was practical and what was not, and provided a very accurate estimate of building costs. There was no problem when I needed to put the project on hold. When it was time to put the project out for bid, he suggested that we include a firm he had noticed but had not worked with before; I did end up choosing them to build the house and that, too, worked out very well. His experience was evident throughout the process, from siting the house on the property and being familiar with period architectural styles, to monitoring the work while periodically visiting the construction site. He's easy to work with and I recommend him very highly.”

Dunmore Exclusives LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Rupert.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 July 2017
“I have had generally good experiences with this landlord. I have rented an apartment from them for about five years now, and they're usually on their game. It's a big building, so there is an occasional issue or two, but they have a pretty decent team (I like Chris a lot), and I'm making this post just because I felt they deserved credit in a positive direction, rather than just the one negative review. I think I moved in around late 2012 or 2013, and they've also done a pretty good job of picking decent people for apartments - on the whole. I hope this might help someone!”

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 Rupert, PA, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Rupert, PA 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 Rupert, PA 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 Rupert, PA 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, Rupert, PA 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 Rupert, PA 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?
