Featured Reviews for Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire Architects and Building Designers

Baillie Baillie Architects
Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire Architects and Building Designers
21 Mar 2019
“As an architect and academic I was highly selective when finding a practice with whom to collaborate on the design of my own house. Baillie Baillie Architects, whose work I have followed for some years, were perfect: professional, knowledgable, serious, imaginative and creative.”
Karen Parry Architect
Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire Architects and Building Designers
13 Sep 2015
“Without any knowledge of this company other than online information,I tasked Karen to look at development possibilities for my 200 year old cottage. I did not want to move house though the cottage was just too small for my extending family. The resultant design that was approved by the local authority exceeded my wildest dreams and I solely put this down to Karen and her team's design talent and total perseverance. We really are indebted to her for what she achieved. I cannot thank Karen enough. She is also highly professional, focussed and very disciplined in terms of timescales and meeting deadlines. Clearly, I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this company.”
Allison Architects Glasgow
Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire Architects and Building Designers
10 Nov 2015
“After getting quotes and meeting with a number of architects to undertake the planning and design of a single story extension to our property we chose Stephen Allison. I have rated his company 5 stars as we really cannot fault any aspect of the job he has done for us. As this was our first experience of extending a property he was very helpful and guided us through each step to be made. I found Stephen very approachable and pro active, always taking time to explain any points we were unsure of. He also put us in touch with a structural engineer that I would also recommend as highly and he has the same professional approach as Stephen. I would not think twice about using Allison Architecture in the future and would recommending to family and friends.”
Thomas Robinson Architects
Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire Architects and Building Designers
7 Jan 2017
“I hired Thomas Robinson Architects (TRA) to design and project-manage an accessible extension and internal alterations for a residential listed building. The initial design idea was what inspired me to engage them further - it respected the original building but was very much a design element in its own right, being modern and yet classical at the same time. We established a programme of regular meetings throughout the design, planning application and building warrant processes and my thoughts and ideas were worked in wherever possible. TRA oversaw the tender process and appointment of a contractor and established monthly site meetings throughout the contract. Careful minuting of the meetings allowed issues to be followed through from month to month. Any issues with the contractor were dealt with timeously and there was a detailed approach to final snagging to ensure good quality finishes. Importantly the budget was very well managed, with some items being altered or removed to ensure it wasn't exceeded and this was done without detriment to the overall project. I felt confident in TRA to protect my interests throughout the project which dissipated any potential stressful situations. The finished house extension and alterations have exceeded all of my expectations - the internal space and views out are equally as impressive as the exterior. As a very satisfied client, I would have no hesitation in recommending TRA as a talented, attentive and highly professional company and would use them again if the situation arose.”
Claire McLuckie Architect

“Claire is a fantastic architect and offered great support from design phase right through to completion. We wanted to extend our kitchen/dining area and had various discussions with her on the options and benefits, taking into account her professional advice. Claire was incredibly patient throughout and shared her insight and expertise. We are absolutely delighted with the final result and with the project management support we received. We found Claire very reliable, extremely personable and would highly recommend her services.”
Paterson Gordon Architecture
Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire Architects and Building Designers

“paterson gordon architecture was recommended to us by friends who were part way through their own project. The plans for that inspired us hire Elaine for our own project. Looking back on the whole experience we just would not have been able to achieve the amazing results we have without Elaine's vision and support. Firstly, with regard to design Elaine did what I guess all very good architects do which is to give you both what you want alongside what you didn't know you wanted (or could achieve) in the first place. We fell in love with the design almost immediately. Secondly, the generation of the specification and tender meant we got the look and feel we wanted but within the budget available. Thirdly, the selection of a contractor was part of the process I wasn't looking forward to but Elaine handled this process very professionally, meeting builders with us and supporting the final decision. Finally, and by no means least, was the project management side of the business. Elaine was on site regularly and dealt with any of the inevitable delays and (thankfully minor) issues with calmness and professionalism, this was greatly appreciated by us and our contractor. I would wholeheartedly recommend paterson gordon architecture to anyone looking for a contemporary, beautiful and practical extension - we could not be happier with the end result.”

A1 Architectural Design Ltd
Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire Architects and Building Designers
31 Jan 2018
“Mr Clark was recommended to us by our Builder when we decided that we wanted a large extension built. After meeting with Mr Clark we were happy to employ him as our Architect for our project. He is clearly an experienced Architect and provided us with suggestions and ideas throughout the process of having the plans drawn up. Mr Clark is very approachable and listened very carefully to what we wanted to have included in our extension. He was able to put our thoughts and ideas into the drawings which made us feel part of the process. Any issues with the drawings were very quickly and professionally dealt with by Mr Clark. We were also very grateful to him for overseeing the administration side with the Planning Department and working closely with our Builder and Structural Engineer. He contacted us regularly to give us updates on the drawings and the planning process. We thought that his professional fees were extremely good value and would have no reservation in recommending Mr Clark as an Architect.”

“Emma was on the ball and organised right from the word go. She gave me lots of ideas for my kitchen/ diner and decking layout and was on hand to guide us through the building and planning application processes. Really excellent architect and excellent customer service. We are so happy with the finished result!”

“Amanda has provided an above and beyond service right from the outset. Working tirelessly to ensure that our design requests were both compatible with regulations stipulated and yet achieving all we wanted from the build. Keeping a keen eye on the detail throughout the project left us feeling confident and she was incredibly responsive to any queries which were raised. Amanda provides a very friendly and hugely professional service, and is worth every penny of her highly competitive fees! We chose A-Cubed Design through recommendation and I have no concern with now recommending her to others!”

How do I choose the right Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire architect?


Begin by determining the type of architectural service you require. Is it merely advice that you need? Or a detailed set of architectural design plans? Are you hoping to add a single-storey extension or are you really looking for someone to design you a custom home and handle construction management right through to completion? One of the most important duties of full service architects in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire is to serve as project managers and supervise most aspects of construction as well as facilitate communication between all other contractors.

Architecture is an incredibly technical profession and one where getting things wrong can literally put lives at risk, so do background checks on your Kirkintilloch architect. Check they are registered with architecture associations such as the Architect’s Registration Board (ARB) and The Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). Being part of an architecture association means that an architect or architecture firm has met certain standards, qualifications and practices, and can be held accountable if they don’t meet these standards. It’s advisable to choose architects that specialise in the kind of project that you are undertaking as their existing experience will shine through in the completed design. Look for an architect in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire that can provide references and reviews of their previous work.

Once you have determined the service level you need, your next consideration will be architectural style. Some architects specialise in designing for traditional housing such as period cottages and country homes, or even in designing modern replicas in a period style. Others have a knack for imagining bolder, more futuristic architectural design in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire incorporating the latest green technology. Check their Houzz profile and website for examples of previous work. Early on, try to gauge availability – there’s no point in choosing an architect that’s going to be booked for months if you have a tight deadline. Some architects are happy to do all their work online or over the phone with you, but if you’d prefer to work with an architect in person then check that your chosen architects in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire will travel to you.

What is the process to hire an architect?


At the first meeting, preferably at your property or building site, 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. It is crucial that your architects are clear about their responsibilities and that these are documented in the contract. 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. They could illustrate this using a previous client’s project. Also, what does the architect need from you? Deeds, rights of way, deposit, staged payments etc. Once you have covered all this detail, you are ready to make your choice and get started. The architecture company in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire that you hire will likely start with concept drawings and finish with construction drawings and documents. Some firms even design with 3D renderings, CAD and videos, but this is by no means essential.

What makes a good architect?


You are looking for architects in Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire that have the right balance of creative flair, technical nous, practicality and impeccable service to see you through. Get a sense of whether they are a good listener, collaborator and problem solver. Checking their references will also be invaluable at this stage so look at their Houzz profile for past customer reviews. Ask to speak to previous clients, particularly regarding their responsiveness and ability to work creatively around a budget.

How much does hiring an architect cost?


There is no set payment structure for an architect. Some Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire architects will charge an hourly rate, others base their fees on a percentage of the total construction cost or propose a fixed fee (payable in instalments) for projects such as house extensions or a complete home design. You may wish to pay in stages to safeguard against any possible dissatisfaction with the quality of service. 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.
