KCB Architecture
Architects & Building Designers in Port Colborne.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 July 2018
“in 2016 we finished a complicated renovation of a circa 1887 historic City home. We had to address serious structural issues, the treatment of previously hidden architectural features and the sensitive modification of the building to accommodate modern systems within a fixed budget. All of this work had to be approved by NYS Historic Preservation Office ("SHPO"). The project was approved on time and finished under budget because of the efforts of the skilled and experienced professionals at KCB. They have a very effective working relationship with SHPO, strong technical skills and understand how to control costs while still delivering a high quality finished product.”

The Landing Company
Architects & Building Designers in Port Colborne.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 September 2014
“I can only give the highest recommendation for the Landing Company. Will Klassen is one of the most creative people I have ever met. He also has the ability to discover what type of creativity (or style) his customer most enjoys. I never once felt "pushed" into a design I didn't like, but rather was "stretched" in my choices and without exception the end result exceeded my expectations. For example, I wanted to use a large piece of "live-edge" slate for a back-splash for my stove. Will made it happen in a way I didn't imagine and it looked stunning. A telling comment by a long-time friend the first time she saw the renovation finished was, "It's very YOU--classy but comfortable!"”
Nauta Home Designs

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 October 2013
“I am so excited and amazed at the beautifull custom design that Nauta home has provided my family!! We were trying to accomidate my husband and I and 4 children (2 with special needs) and my parents who are moving into this custom home. The attention to detail and needs of my family were met through their design! This custom 4733 sq ft house was a challange for me to figure out the seperation of the inlaw portion of the home and still keeping the executive appearance. We would give 5 stars on quality, appearance, customer service affordability and creativity! Thanks for everything Nauta Hoimes!”

Louis Design Solutions Architecture, LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Port Colborne.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 February 2016
“This is the third large project that we've used Louis Designs to do the architectural and design plans for. Brian is very professional and willing to work with your ideas but is also very helpful when direction is needed by the client. We ended up using three different contractors for each project and they were very pleased with the plans that were drawn up for the job and had no problem following them. Brian has always been punctual for meetings and in the completion of his drawings. He's available during the project and timely if a change needs to be done. Brian is a man of his word and works with the utmost integrity. He is always prepared and amenable with whatever the client's needs are. We have absolutely no reservations when recommending Louis Design Solutions to do any architectural job. G & M Parrish”

An architect or building designer in Port Colborne, ON 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 Port Colborne, ON 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 Port Colborne, ON 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 Port Colborne, ON:


  • 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?
