“We engaged Steve to redesign our bathrooms. He was involved from the initial design through to the project completion, including liaising with the builder, material suppliers and cabinet maker. The results speak for themselves, employing a top architect was worth the investment.”

Studio2 Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Whangarata.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 March 2017
“The team at Studio2 designed my house, The Crossing at Pakiri Beach in New Zealand. It featured on Grand Designs NZ in Series 1 ('the steel house). Working with builder Steve Haycock, the team were a significant part of the whole project - making it a fun, exciting process for me (it was my first ever build), and keeping me fully informed and in the know. Would I use them again? YES! We are looking into planning the second project soon...”
Permit Shop Ltd.
Architects & Building Designers in Whangarata.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 March 2016
“Nik, Harley and the team did a superb job, totally living up to their Permitshop name on a major overhaul and extension of our 104 year old arts and crafts home. Even more noteworthy is that they had to put up with me an architect living offshore, demanding the impossible from afar and with no current knowledge of the current NZ planning regs or building code. Their calm, talent and professional approach is so reassuring and the work was done on time and they always delivered even with constant difficult neighbour issues to deal with!”
MAXIMARC Limited
Architects & Building Designers in Whangarata.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 October 2018
“We highly recommend MAXIMARC LIMITED to anyone looking for architectural services. After working with Cameron on several successful alteration projects, the opportunity arose for us to work together on a new build in Wellington. Tremendous architecture is the result which matches the brief perfectly, While the site is difficult the archectural framing of both hillside and harbour views is ideal. Furthermore, the arresting arrangement of materials and textures is admired by neighbours and passers by alike (as well as ourselves) and belies the reasonable construction cost. We are very happy clients.”
Kamermans Architects Ltd
Architects & Building Designers in Whangarata.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 November 2012
“Wonderful house design and we have exactly what we need within the city council's tight restrictions. We were able to avoid resource consent, have an architecturally designed home and get all the eco features we wanted.”
Strachan Group Architects

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 November 2019
“Thank you for specifying Blum hardware products in your kitchen design and cabinetry projects. We enjoy working with your business.”
Tse:Wallace Architects Ltd
Architects & Building Designers in Whangarata.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 June 2016
“Tse:Wallace Architects did a great job for us. They worked tirelessly to prepare concept plans, convert them into really great architectural plans that brought the detail to life, and they project managed the build process. They were always on time or ahead of us for planning meetings, and brought great ideas to the planning phase. They managed the consenting and build processes flawlessly, making it as hassle free as possible, and had excellent working relationships with the engineer, builders and other trades and suppliers, but were firm and always driving them to deliver what we wanted. We're thrilled with the final result.”

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 Whangarata, Waikato, New Zealand, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Whangarata, Waikato, New Zealand 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 Whangarata, Waikato, New Zealand 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 Whangarata, Waikato, New Zealand 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, Whangarata, Waikato, New Zealand 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?

  • 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.)
