Cooper Architectural

“Jamie worked with us and listened to our ideas. He explained options, was happy for us to spend time thinking and when our builder made a suggestion that suited him rather than us Jamie was quick to step in. He had a clear idea of what we wanted our pagoda extension for and was quick to point out potentially how dark this could make our kitchen. An excellent light tunnel he designed for our kitchen solved that. We could not be happier.”
DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE DEVELOPMENT
Architects & Building Designers in Ayr.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 January 2017
“We contracted Domestic Architecture to work closely with us on a conceptual design, for a new build dwelling in a rural part of Aberdeenshire. This was to be a challenging project for both ourselves and D.A as the design would have to meet strict planning criteria and a high build specification. We are delighted to report that after much hard work, focused attention to detail and a close collaboration with D.A Architect, we have achieved full planning at first attempt. D.A were attuned with our specific requirements from the get go, and provided a very professional and responsive service. I can highly recommend D.A to any prospective clients.”

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 Ayr, South Ayrshire, UK 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.

  • What is your fee structure?
