Featured Reviews for Victoria, BC Architects and Building Designers

FISH HOUSE design+architecture
Victoria, BC Architects and Building Designers
3 August 2015
“Fish House Designs worked closely with us to design an extensive renovation to the 900 square foot main floor of our house on Quadra Island. Pamela Goijberg of Fish House listened to our initial ideas, added a number of additional suggestions, and then incorporated our preferences into a beautiful and functional floor plan. Throughout our collaboration with her, Pamela was thoughtful and very accommodating, and had a cheerful disposition at all times, making our planning with her both productive and enjoyable.”

“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.”
studioDB3
Victoria, BC Architects and Building Designers

“Dan Boot as a designer is asked to solve specific problems. Understanding that the requirements presented by the client may sometimes be vague, Dan is able to work with them to come to a conclusion that the client is comfortable with and represents the goal that the client was seeking when they engaged the services of StudioDB3. Dan analyzes the information by determining the key elements of the requirements, the relationships between them and how to combine them into a solution to present to his clients for consideration. He is able to conceptualize client’s desires through sketches, drawings and models so that his clients can visualize the process from start to finish to gain a unique understanding of what the end result can and will be. His clients can then determine whether it meets their expectations, that prior to the process that Dan engages them in, were just ideas and dreams. StudioDB3 is able to then move the process through all the intricate steps required from start to finish, including the required engineering and approval process, construction and final occupancy. Dan Boot is an excellent communicator and combined with his professionalism and confidence and his ability to communicate these to his clients, provide them with peace of mind, knowing their project is in good hands. Working with StudioDB3 adds value to the project, since conception, up to and including occupancy, can be dealt with through one office that has the experience, ability and energy to see the project through to completion. Forty years of being involved in the design and construction industry, mainly in British Columbia, but as well as in Alberta, Hong Kong, Mexico and Hawaii, combined with Dan’s unique and artistic flair bring elements to the table that can alleviate anxieties of even the most discerning clients. Dan’s integrity, honesty, passion and professionalism make the engagement of StudioDB3 for your building project an excellent choice, since they are not only able to visualize their client’s needs and wants but they are able make their project real.”

“BTW Morris is a very calm, methodical, experienced architect that listens patiently to his clients needs and wants. He very diplomatically manages to interact with all parties involved in the complex construction process whilst keeping a rational eye on budget . We are extremely happy with the custom home he designed for us after a thorough information gathering process. We can honestly say we have absolutely no regrets, and can highly recommend him.”
Premium Urban Design
Victoria, BC Architects and Building Designers
29 October 2014
“Mike at Premium was a tremendous help in the complete renovation and remodelling of several properties in Victoria. His expertise and knowledge of both the design and construction of a complex project like these helped make them all successful. There were many design decisions that were needed to maximize the usability of the space, as we transferred many of the properties into highly desirable rental suites. Our tenants loved the final designs. Mike's expertise about the the full project scope (design, permits, construction, market) prevented us from making costly mistakes, while also enhancing the properties in their completed state. We will continue to work with Mike, and can't recommend him enough. The projects that we completed with Mike yielded properties that were instantly rented to long term tenants.”
FLASHhouse Inc

“Ian Roberts designed and built our new home for us and we are beyond thrilled with it! Not only was it amazing to work with one person from the very beginning right through to the end, but Ian's eye for detail resulted in a gorgeous and comfortable home. The project was virtually stress free for us as Ian oversaw every aspect. My husband and I described our dream house to Ian and he came through for us from concept to completion. Ian finished on time and on budget which seemed contrary to what everyone told us when we began the endeavor. We highly recommend Ian Roberts and Flashhouse and would not think twice about working with him again in the future!”

“He has a superb sense of design and what works and doesn't. He is a "CAN-DO" kind of person, extremely professional and positive and easy to work with, a great communicator. and He works hard and gets things done!! on time and on budget in my experience. have nothing but great things to say about his work ethic and his talents.”
Step One Design
Victoria, BC Architects and Building Designers
29 November 2012
“Having built two homes before, we were impressed with what Step One Design had to offer and commissioned Mike to draw up the plans for our current home. Mike arranged to meet with us at our lot, listened to our ideas and offered feedback and suggestions to come up with a plan that fit us perfectly based on our wants and needs. He was accessible, easy to communicate with and provided the plans on schedule. Step one Design brought together our vision while paying attention to practicality, finances and the aesthetics of the home. We were extremely happy with Mike’s work, would use his professional expertise again and would not hesitate to recommend him to others.”

“What can I say about Josh, well, many things, but here is the nails and wood of who he is as a professional...My partner and I recently hired him to design a water facing home. He jumped right to work in meeting us at the property to check it out. He provided a very reasonable quote for his services. And then the design services began...he is so prompt in his work, he is versed in understanding and will guide you in the permit, contracting, and engineering aspects as well. Pictures to follow when our home is done. Thanks Josh, you made building our first home from the ground up a breeze!”

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 Victoria, BC 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 Victoria, BC 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 Victoria, BC:


  • 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?
