Hess Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Steward.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 September 2017
“My husband and I decided to add a first floor master on to our home. We spoke with several architects prior to meeting James Hess, that could not give us the look that we wanted on the exterior of the house. James helped us work through some tricky situations. We did not want our addition to look like an afterthought!! When the project was completed, the addition looked as though it should have always been there! I have recommended James to friends and neighbors. Thank you, James! We truly love the work that you provided for us!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 June 2012
“We collaborated with Meyer Design for the interior design/decoration of a beautiful new home designed by their firm. They were consistently helpful providing us with floor plans, details and very knowledgeable, which helped us immensely when making field changes. Their help was crucial to provide the client with the best interior possible. They were always very professional and went out of their way to work on this project. They helped us meet deadlines and stay on budget. The home was (grand total) over 8,000 square feet that included a full finished basement.”

Marshall Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Steward.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 December 2012
“We hired Marshall Architects to custom design our dream home. Our dream was to build a prairie style home. We had confidence in Marshall Architects design aesthetics for this style as we've seen a number of his past homes built in the area. We were not sure how it could be pulled off given our limited funds and design criteria. All we can say is that our expectations were exceeded because the design of the home is truly amazing to us and everything we always dreamed about. It is obvious to us that Dan and his team always puts the client's interest first. We never felt rushed at the many decision points and he helped guide us throughout the process. We would recommend Marshall Architects to anyone interested in designing a good looking home, inside and out.”

“When it became apparent that I was going to need to do something about the kitchen in my 1893 Queen Anne Victorian house, I needed some help. Pretty much everything, from the appliances to the floor to the cabinets and countertops needed to be addressed. I knew I wanted quality solutions, and I was prepared to spend appropriately, but not extravagantly, to get that result. Most importantly, I wanted a kitchen that looked like it fit in a house built in the late 19th century. But I really had no idea where to start and could not spend significant amounts of time figuring it out. I asked Shawn Gordon if he could help, not sure whether this was in the mainstream of the work he did. I could not be happier with the result. Shawn meticulously researched period-appropriate alternatives for every aspect of the project. He took colors, architectural style, lighting and practicality into consideration. He photographed the all of the surrounding rooms and made sure that the kitchen concepts he presented to me blended with the adjacent spaces. All the while, he was careful to keep in mind practicality and my budget. I am delighted with everything Shawn suggested and delivered. From the pine floor and wainscot to the period-appropriate hardware and lighting fixtures to the custom-designed cabinetry and countertops, I ended up with a completely remodeled and updated kitchen that fits perfectly in this old house.

“For the past 4 years Dee Schlagel of Design Discovery has helped keep our custom home building company stay on the cutting edge from staging model and spec homes to making the complicated selection process each of our homeowners must go through fun and exciting. She uses a unique personal touch not found in today's designers and draws from wealth of product knowledge to put each client at ease with their selections. For us it means a detailed, organized selection sheet that the customer is comfortable with and the assurance of all these items coming together to make a house a home that the owners will be proud of for years to come. We often, years later return to add an addition or complete a remodeling task and the first person they inquire to return to the team for the project is Dee. She is a true professional in todays world of enhanced customer service. Sierra Homes, Inc.”

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 Steward, IL, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Steward, IL 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 Steward, IL 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 Steward, IL 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, Steward, IL 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 Steward, IL 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?
