TMA Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Telluride.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 March 2014
“In the summer of 2010 we were ready to start working with an architect to design a custom timberframe home that incorporated several green features and energy saving components. we were living in Maryland at the time but wanted to build the home in Missouri. We found TMA Architects online and contacted Tim Montgomery about setting up a meeting in St Louis. He had extensive experience in timberframe design and had already worked on other green projects. We told him what we wanted and over the course of the next several months, while we searched for a good lot, Tim delivered drawings and plans by email. He even brought along the perfect custom home builder for our project. Tim and Steve Horn, of Mastercraft Design & Build, worked seamlessly to design and build the home we had been dreaming about for 20 years. Tim was creative and knowledgable, timely with his design plans and generous in showing us many examples of designs to consider. There was much back and forth on details and Tim handled our many requests professionally. He was involved in all phases of the finished product from the time excavation began to the day we moved in. Tim Montgomery was a big part of the realization of our dream home. Even though we had previously owned four homes, we had never worked with an architect or custom home builder. Our experience of working with Tim was very positive and we would recommend him to anyone interested in hiring an architect.”

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 Telluride, CO, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Telluride, CO 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 Telluride, CO 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 Telluride, CO 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, Telluride, CO 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.

  • Can you handle my special requests?
  • What is your experience with similar projects/ architectural design and style?

  • 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.)
