D.A. Drafting & Design
Architects in Ajax, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 January 2017
“After meeting with several architects, I hired Derek from DA Drafting & Design to do all the architectural drawings for submission to the City of Pickering for my 3000+ square foot custom build. My project was a huge success, due largely in part to Derek's experience and professionalism. He sincerely cares about his clients needs and his work. He saved me thousands of dollar by suggesting subtle changes that would not only enhance the design, but would allow for easier execution when it came to the actual building process. I highly recommend DA Drafting & Design. Reference call are warmly welcomed via contacting Derek. Mike R Pickering ON”

gene mastrangeli design
Architects in Ajax, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 March 2020
“Gene was exceptionally professional. We were looking for a creative designer to help us build our home in an unusual residential/commercial setting. Gene's design included a floorplan for 2 storey's of residential space which included a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and millwork throughout. His attention to detail and finishes is above and beyond. We were keen on avoiding box store finishes and Gene was very willing to help us secure options within our budget. Gene's knowledge of the construction aspect of the design was key and he was open to being on-site to help throughout the job. I would (and I have) recommend Gene.”
Goulding Design

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 April 2016
“Jon Goulding produces exceptional designs and has overseen projects for myself and my clients. He created a charming front garden for my century home in Yorkville, creatively camouflaging a gas meter and air conditioner as raised planters. Conversely, Jon has designed and overseen extensive renovations for my clients, including an 8ft deep basement excavation which added a significant gain in equity of their home. Jon is my first call for matters of design and for permit advice for my clients.”

Dewson Architects
Architects in Ajax, ON
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 June 2013
“I hired William Dewson Architects to design a summer cottage in Georgian Bay on a 5 acre island. Our first challenge was to figure out the site plan and where to put the cottage given numerous zoning restrictions and other natural fators. Bill and his team were great to work with throughout the whole process of defining the best site and then brainstorming the design that best suited our family asthetic. Bill's charismatic enthusiasm made our meetings fun and creative, we were all very happy with the end result and thoroughly enjoyed the design experience from start to finish.”

Architect or Architectural Designer FAQs
An architect is a professional who designs and creates building plans, ensuring the building is functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. They collaborate with clients to understand their needs and create designs that meet their requirements. Architects also consider building codes, regulations, and sustainability principles in their designs. They may oversee the construction process to ensure it aligns with the design intent.
If you are looking at a house extension or building a new home from scratch, chances are you are going to need the help of a residential architect. They have extensive knowledge of architectural design, construction methods and building materials, not to mention a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light and flow within a property. Architects will also be far more capable of seeing the bigger picture – carefully balancing aesthetic appeal with structural safety. With their local knowledge, your Ajax architect will also often help to obtain planning permission and building regulations approval.

    After choosing a residential architect, you will usually start with a consultation to discuss the project. Preferably at your property or building site where the work will be done. Give as clear a picture as possible of the kind of home you are trying to create to your architects. Chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and feedback, together with any very specific requirements you might have. They will explain their process to you alongside any other on-site visits up to and including the build stage, depending on whether they will be involved at that stage. From there they will produce the designs and plans required for your project.
    The cost of hiring an architect in Ajax can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project, experience, reputation, and location. Architectural fees are typically structured as a percentage of the project’s total construction cost, ranging from 8% to 15%. For example, if a project has a construction cost of £500,000 and the architect’s fee is 10%, the fee would be £50,000. It’s advisable to discuss fees and payment structures with architects in Ajax during initial consultations.
