“I took proud ownership of my new extension to my house this morning and would like to thank JEA for putting up with all my questions and changes I made throughout the project. Their patience and service is top quality and the finished product far exceeds my original ideas. I would thoroughly recommend them for any project or new build you have in mind as their expertise and knowledge is second to none and they have great contacts in the building trade. If I ever decide to build a new build or extend again onto my current house I will be using these guys.”

“I hired this company to provide a survey of a house I was intending to purchase in 2015. I found the survey comprehensive and overall I was very happy with the work and company standards.”

“Peter designed a new kitchen extension on our Victorian House in Dublin 8 in 2016. We found Peter to be an excellent listener to our needs as we had a tight budget. The design that Peter came up was fantastic as it gave us so much light, a bigger back yard, along with making the house feel more complete. Peter did the full set of drawings for the builder and did several site visits and made any mods that we needed as the build went on. We are a family with 3 kids and the difference the extension has made to how the house looks and feels is astonishing. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone who is considering work to their house. Thank you Peter.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 October 2016
“David Moran is thoroughly professional and will only advise you in an honest transparent way. I found this architect to be highly knowledgeable and he takes whatever time is needed to explain things to me, the client. He never rushed me and that meant I always had time to ask as many questions as needed. He is reliable and trustworthy. He has not only helped me but also 2 other friends of mine who were needing the same work done as me. This architect is excellent on planning issues, building regulations and legal matters in relation to building. Dr. Annette Hunter mobile: 083 46 31 297”

“Found Eleanor Sheehan architects a pleasure to deal with. Price wise the company were extremely competitive compared to other quotations I received and I always felt I was getting a first-class service. Very happy with the design of the project (the company listened to our requirements but evolved them for us), attention to detail and also the post project support has been brilliant. Highly recommend.”

“O'keeffe Architects are a friendly and creatively motivated architectural practice. Their work is of an excellent standard which stands out as being quite unique. Each and every project that I have photographed for them as an architectural photographer has a distinctive flare that lends to the vital ingredient to produce quality images that further reinforce their design skills. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to a homeowner .”
S J Carroll & Co
Architects & Building Designers in Arklow.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 May 2017
“I have used S J Carroll Architects on a few occasions. Initially to conduct detailed surveys and pre-sale advice on on my late fathers house prior to selling and a second property we were buying for my sister. I have always found Simon, very sensitive to your needs and a great listener about ideas and plans with some great suggestions on design. I have been so happy with the all services, I have retained S J Carroll Architects to design and project manage a full renovation of an apartment I own in Nice, France. The designs have been amazing and Simon has managed every step of the way to locate and manage French builders. Completion date will be late summer. I plan to post photos when done. In the meantime, posting photos of the drawings of my late fathers house, Simon assisted us in surveying, providing pre-sale advice and overall drawings.”

“Eleanor did a fantastic job of designing our new kitchen. She devised a clever and functional design that made full use of the space available and radically improved the flow of the room, whilst still meeting our storage needs. We are delighted with the kitchen and couldn’t be happier with how well it works. Eleanor was professional, efficient and helpful throughout the process and we would absolutely recommend her.”

Depending on the architecture firm you hire, their scope of work can span project management and sustainable design for your renovation, to the selection of furniture and finishes.

How do I find the best architect for my home design project?


It is best to hire a home architect or building designer who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. The architect is often the first person you will hire for your project. If necessary, they might also help you select and hire Arklow, Co. Wicklow, Ireland general contractors, which can include builders, engineers and landscape architects. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the residential architect you hire. He or she can be the tie-breaking vote between you and the general contractor and can be your biggest advocate during the construction process.

As far as the process goes, the architecture firm that you choose will start with concept drawings and finish with construction drawings and documents. Some firms even design with 3D renderings and videos, but that should not be assumed. One of the most important duties of an architect is project management – that is, to serve as managers and supervise most aspects of construction, as well as facilitate communication between all other contractors.

It is very important to hire the right professional for the job. Remember that the most well-known or established architect or building designer might not provide the best architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project. Research and ask people whose work you like for recommendations. It's important to have an idea of the style of architecture you prefer, as well as the amount you would like to spend. Architects are natural problem solvers. They will assess the entire situation and help you to solve your problems too. Don't settle for a single company too early. Call and interview a few. Make sure that you feel like your personalities will mesh well and that you like their professional perspective.
