Featured Reviews for Architects in Elgin, Moray

Ross Cowie Architect
Architects in Elgin, Moray
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.”
Wittets Architects
Architects in Elgin, Moray
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 May 2020
“Exceptional support from start to finish. We started at the pre-design concept and finished at the completion certificate stage. Whilst our principal contact was Stephen Gauld we worked with a number of the other Wittets team members. Attention to detail was first class and time was taken to understand exactly what we wanted from our new home. Our ideas were turned into a stunning house design with architectural merit. The build programme, like any, had its difficult moments but again the Wittets team worked closely with us to ensure that minor problems stayed minor. We ended the project with a beautiful home.”
S Reid Design
Architects in Elgin, Moray
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 January 2021
“Stewart has been a huge help from the very early days of my ideas for an extension and an outbuilding conversion. He’s attentive, knowledgeable, helpful and quick to respond to queries. As the project continues, I know he’s just a phone call away with ideas and advice. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Stewart for anyone with project design and planning needs.”
ACJ Design - ACJ Group
Architects in Elgin, Moray
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 June 2018
“I contracted ACJ Design - ACJ Group to build a three bed bungalow for me in January 2018. The foundation work started in March 2018 and was wind and watertight by 15th June 2018. Up to the wind and watertight stage I have found ACJ to be very professional and easy to deal with. Any requested changes by me to the original plans were acted upon without fuss.

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 Elgin 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 Elgin 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 Elgin during initial consultations.
