Featured Reviews for Architects in North Cowichan, BC

Open Interiors Inc
Architects in North Cowichan, BC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 October 2019
“I have worked with Julene on 3 separate projects and she never ceases to deliver. She is my go-to for design and prep work when I am building. She has designed and executed two commercial spaces for me, and is now working on my custom home. I have recommended her to many people because of how much trust I have in her capabilities.”

“With just one meeting, Dan provided us with an amazing design for our large addition. We could not have imagined the possibilities, without his help and plans.”
Dwellings Design
Architects in North Cowichan, BC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 March 2016
“I have used Bruce at Dwelling Designs for two homes now and both times the design was precise and complete. Bruce has an eye for detail that I have yet to see from another designer. Also, the respectful attitude that Bruce has when dealing with the changes or modifications, makes the process enjoyable. Thank you Bruce!”

“I am an architect and provided them with preliminary design sketches which they advanced through a process of drafting and review from design to contract documents, refining all across the table and on an interactive screen. Highly knowledgeable and easy to work with. Highly recommended.”
Villamar Design
Architects in North Cowichan, BC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 November 2018
“Villamar took over the design and project management of our home in early 2017 after we had difficulties finalizing the design and project cost with another firm. Villamar provided an accurate and transparent cost estimate which they followed through on. Specifically, Duane Ensing worked through the design details with us, enlisting the interior design services, where appropriate, of Lisa Dunsmuir (OneStep Design). We were happy with the design process and the effective problem-solving approach used. The site superintendent for the actual construction project was Drew Mackie. His attention to detail, to quality, and to ensuring we were satisfied with the outcome was his focus when working with us. His integrity is impeccable and allowed us to feel that our project was in reliable hands. After living in the completed house for six months, we can recommend Villamar without reservation to design, project manage and construct your new home.”
Uta Nagel Interior Design
Architects in North Cowichan, BC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 January 2016
“Uta Nagel developed a fabulous graphic for a mosaic strip to refresh the existing exterior entrance of Welch Hall. The image of a forest in white and greens creates an effective counterpoint to the 1960's cast in place concrete facade and signals a major building addition and renovation. We had a good working relationship and I would gladly work UTANAGEL DESIGN again.”

“Elke Cole worked for me as a Natural Building Trainer in Kenya. We did two 10 day workshops with 23 students.

“I hired Inner Vision Design to design a home near the beach for myself and my doodle! Matthew Smith is a designer with integrity and a wealth of ideas and information. Matthew lives in the neighbourhood near my property and I'm sure he'll see the project to completion.”

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 North Cowichan 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 North Cowichan 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 North Cowichan during initial consultations.
