Verdant Architecture
Architects & Building Designers in 12047.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 April 2017
“We always look forward to working with Tim Wade on projects. He has the right balance of listening to a client's goals and suggesting creative design solutions to achieve them. Tim has been a strong member of the CRBRA Green Building Science Group which I co-chair. He brings critical design insight to this diverse group of green building professionals in our area. I recommend him without reservation to my clients looking for design services!”

“Designed a screened porch with small deck and steps from the second to the first level. Completed all drawings for load limits on the roof change from different angles of the location.”
JAMES DIXON ARCHITECT PC
Architects & Building Designers in 12047.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 January 2014
“James Dixon Architect PC are helping us transform our 1780 farmhouse and 14-acre site near Millbrook NY with impressive sensitivity to the age of the house and the beauty of its location. They have introduced us to contractors, landscape architects and craftsmen and retained careful oversight of our requirements throughout the process. We recommend them very highly.”
Burr & McCallum Architects
Architects & Building Designers in 12047.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 October 2014
“We had long admired the work of this talented duo (Ann McCallum and Andy Burr) and had especially enjoyed the success they had creating the Porches Hotel in North Adams, MA, which had a decidedly Mid-Century vibe. When we bought our little 1950's Cape in Williamstown we knew they'd be the perfect choice to update the house and convert it into an idyllic weekend and Summer retreat. Our goal was to remain true to the building's original mid-century roots and add a contemporary vibe at the same time. Working with a very modest budget, Burr & McCallum came up with a wonderful (and affordable) way to add a shed dormer, open up the interior, create a master bath and utilize standard materials (like Pella windows and IKEA kitchen cabinets) that gave us the look we wanted, yet stayed within our agreed to budget. They helped us identify and work with a great local contractor (Vince Martel) and were shoulder to shoulder with us throughout the process. They even brought a colorist in to ensure we got the bright, fun, cheery palette for the house that we desired. It was a really great collaboration -- they were wonderful listeners and always found a way to take our input and ideas and make them even better. In the end we got exactly the house we had hoped for and we credit that to the vision, talents and thoughtful approach that Ann and Andy use. I'm pleased to say that even though the house is a renovation and very modest in size and scope, it's been featured in Boston Magazine, Better Homes & Gardens and elsewhere. We can't say enough good things about this firm and recommend them highly.”
shadiworks

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 December 2013
“Shadiworks remodeled the top floor of our historic home, converting one dark and oversized bedroom into two bright rooms, with ample closet space, built-in bookshelves, and a number of really beautiful and useful architectural features. The designs were incredibly creative, making brilliant use of the space. Shadi also kept in close touch with us and the contractor as the work was ongoing, making things run incredibly smoothly. We are thrilled with the renovation!”

Abele Builders
Architects & Building Designers in 12047.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 August 2015
“Abele Builders built a fantastic well built home that exceeded our expectations. Chris and staff were (and still are) easy to work with and attentive to detail. They continue to answer questions or concerns well over two years after the house was built. We highly recommend them.”
Wallant Architecture
Architects & Building Designers in 12047.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 April 2016
“Having worked with Wallant Architect on several jobs, we at Teakwood Builders cannot recommend them highly enough. Extremely professional, timely, and creative, Wallant works diligently and closely with the client to truly bring their vision to life regardless of the scale or design of the project. They are devoted to quality and precision, no detail is too small for their attention. We are lucky to have them in our area!”
Dreamscapes Unlimited

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 December 2013
“We have had Mr. Flansburg do several projects for us. He designed our corporate office, home and this year an addition it our home. Bob Flansburg always brings new, fresh and a wow factor to every project. He always listens to what ideas you would like to incorporate and I have to say your ideas will be some maybe only a slight essence but it works.”

An architect or building designer in Cohoes, NY 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 Cohoes, NY 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 Cohoes, NY 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 Cohoes, NY:


  • 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?
