“We had a very clear idea of what we wanted to do, then Ross proposed a design that we hadn't even considered and he was, of course, absolutely right. A personal, friendly and very efficient service but most importantly he listened to our needs and found a brilliant solution. Very highly recommended.”
Ross Cowie Architect
Architects & Building Designers in Upper Lochton.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 October 2019
“Ross has worked on two projects for us on our croft in Banffshire. The first was supporting all planning permissions and advice about our converted steading (and helping us when building regulations altered also) We now use this as a fantastic living and office space. Ross then did all the architecture work for a whole rebuild on the back of our croft where an eyesore of a back porch is now a super larch-cladded feature with coat/ boot/ storage space and a really useful laundry area housing two appliances and a worktop. Ross is always extremely thorough and kept in touch throughout the works and ensured that we were happy at the end of both projects. We would recommend him highly.”

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 Upper Lochton, Aberdeenshire, UK, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Upper Lochton, Aberdeenshire, UK 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 Upper Lochton, Aberdeenshire, UK 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 Upper Lochton, Aberdeenshire, UK 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, Upper Lochton, Aberdeenshire, UK 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.

  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with your vision.)
