Edward J. Shannon, Architect PLC

Madrid, IA Architects and Building Designers

11 November 2012

“Edward and I were neighbors in Palatine, Illinois and taught architecture together at Judson College. I have the highest respect for Edward's abilities both as a practicing architect and as an architecture professor. This combination of practicing architect/professor is respected in the profession as achieved by some of the most industrious and design savvy members of our field. Edward's photos speak volumes of his design sensitivity. His drawings are likewise works of art in a profession that has lost much of its hand drawn talent in 25 years of CAD prevalence. He clearly has the design maturity to know the disciplines of restraint, light and balance, harmony, forms and textures and can apply this maturity of design to multiple venues. Working directly with Edward I learned his quality of sincere responsible work ethic and constant self improvement motivation. He has excellent people skills and is a collaborative proactive problem solver. His continued professional advancement with LEED accreditation, professorship in Iowa, and his ever expanding portfolio are testaments of his commitment to a profession which demands lifelong learning to maintain excellence. Very glad to find Edward's page here and heartily recommend him to clients seeking a conscientious architect for their next project. Best Regards, Douglas Clark, NCARB Architect San Mateo, CA”

Imprint Architects

Madrid, IA Architects and Building Designers

8 May 2014

“My husband and I are building our dream house to retire in. We are so pleased to have chosen Imprint Architects to help us with our design. To get a good design, the architects really must be good at listening and inserting the things they think you would enjoy and cutting waste that you wouldn't really use. Imprint Architects went above and beyond to help us make every detail of the house something we will enjoy. They helped us find ceiling structures we would never know about and numerous architectural features that personalizes our home for us such as arches in the wall and copper ceilings with uplighting. Their creativity and kind listening attitudes makes all of the difference in the world with how happy you are with your home. They are one of the best. They always are there for you whenever you have questions. The head of the company was just at our sight yesterday to see that everything was being built correctly. Our daughter is building with another contractor "architect". That has been a whole different experience of trying to keep them from putting up beautiful bandaids such as particle board for window trim! To those who are building, no one is more important than your architect who personally protects you and guides your contractor. Imprint does just that.”

CONCEPTS IN DESIGN INC.

Madrid, IA Architects and Building Designers

10 December 2013

“We did a complete renovation of a late 1800's main street building in order to open up a pet store. Concepts In Design did all the design work for the outside as well as the interior of the pet store. They were fabulous to work with! Their design makes us unique to the industry and our building became a main street attraction!”

Dreamscape Homebuilders

Madrid, IA Architects and Building Designers

21 April 2014

“Dreamscape Homebuilders did a beautiful job overall with my home design and build. The design options are very modern and look to provide the greatest bang for the buck. The custom built-ins are beatiful. The counters, cabinets and flooring look amaing as well. The house layout is very functionally focused and I have loved the two weeks I have been in it. There were only a couple of small designs that were missed that I asked for. I feel the communication could have been a little better between the builder and the designer. In the end, I will probably make those small changes myself. Overall, the house turned out great and I am happy with the way it turned out.”

Creating Spaces

“Marcia Lyon is a miracle worker! I had been followong her articles on "remodels" in the St. Paul Pioneer Press for quite some time. I really appreciated her no non-sense, use what you have approach. We decided to hire her to design a 20 x 27 ft. Master Bedroom Suite addition to our 1950's vintage house. She spent two hours with us touring the complete house, asking questions, drawing plans until she came up with the PERFECT one. We loved it! She gave us tips on how to find a contractor to do the work. Marcia knows her stuff! It was very fun to actually see our plan in the Pioneer Press! Marcia is a very pleasant person and easy to work with. We very much enjoyed working with her.”

An architect or building designer in Madrid, IA can transform your needs and desires into a visual concept and habitable structure. They will help you determine what is possible in terms of your land and the budget you have, and then work with you to plan a home design that best caters to your lifestyle.

Architects and building designers have an extensive knowledge of architectural designs and trends, as well as construction methods and building materials, and are well versed in seeing the ‘bigger picture’. 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. So whether you’re building from scratch, adding an extension or renovating your Madrid, IA home, engage an architect or building designer to make your dream home a reality.

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 Madrid, IA 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.

Questions to ask prospective architects and building designers in Madrid, IA:

What is your fee structure?

What does the cost include?

Do you have professional liability insurance?

What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?

What is your experience with similar projects?

When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?

What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)

What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?

Can you provide me with references?

Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with

your vision.)

Will you help with hiring general contractors and renovation contractors?

What do you estimate the cost will be?

What will I need to provide?

Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
