Architects in Albany, NY
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 April 2017
“We always look forward to working with Tim Wade on projects. He has the right balance of listening to a client's goals and suggesting creative design solutions to achieve them. Tim has been a strong member of the CRBRA Green Building Science Group which I co-chair. He brings critical design insight to this diverse group of green building professionals in our area. I recommend him without reservation to my clients looking for design services!”
shadiworks
Architects in Albany, NY
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 December 2013
“Shadiworks remodeled the top floor of our historic home, converting one dark and oversized bedroom into two bright rooms, with ample closet space, built-in bookshelves, and a number of really beautiful and useful architectural features. The designs were incredibly creative, making brilliant use of the space. Shadi also kept in close touch with us and the contractor as the work was ongoing, making things run incredibly smoothly. We are thrilled with the renovation!”

“Abele Builders built a fantastic well built home that exceeded our expectations. Chris and staff were (and still are) easy to work with and attentive to detail. They continue to answer questions or concerns well over two years after the house was built. We highly recommend them.”
P4 Architecture, PLLC
Architects in Albany, NY
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 January 2020
“We recently hired P4 to help us come up with some options to increase the living space in our ranch. After a couple design reviews we came to an agreement on a design that has since been executed and we couldn’t be happier. Chuck was thorough and resourceful as we worked through the options. I would highly recommend Chuck to any prospective clients and would hire him in an instant for any future projects.”

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 Albany 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 Albany 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 Albany during initial consultations.
