PAUA Architects Ltd
Architects in Cambridge, Waikato
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 October 2018
“Our house was finished 10 years ago, what I remember was that Geoff Lentz and I had a lot of laughs in the design process and still enjoy catching up from time to time. I showed him pictures of what we wanted and he came up with a stunner. I would change things now (not a lot), but one has to live in the house to learn that.”

“"We have nothing but gratitude and appreciation for Aaron and his team. From the outset we were made to feel like we were priority clients # 1; upon talking with other customers this feeling was obviously not unique to us. All our questions, queries and opinions were treated with consideration and respect which is all we could ask for. We started the design process with some ideas of how we wanted the house to look and function and then Aaron took our ideas to the next level and made them a reality. He had the ability to create space where we could not and turn our simple squares into unique architectural flair. He often came up with multiple solutions to issues and helped us evaluate which alternative best suited our needs. We believe that Aaron's design process resulted in the perfect balance of individuality without compromising functionality. Once the design was finalised Aaron has the contacts and expertise to turn drawings into construction. He has knowledge of local builders, tradespeople and suppliers that gave us choices and options of which we would otherwise have been unaware. Throughout the build Aaron and the team were available to reassure us and answer any questions we had. The single biggest learning that we took away from the building process was that people who are recommended by others rarely let you down. Consequently we would not hesitate in recommending Aaron and his team to anybody considering building a home. In our experience Aaron takes pride not only in the design of your home but also going the extra mile all the way through to completion!" Hamish Bond”

“When I was looking at building a house at our beach property at Whangamata, I was told to call Smartdraw Architecture. I met up with Nick with some concept plans I had drawn and discussed my intended project with him. I was impressed with the speed and outcome that Smartdraw Architecture produced and we were very happy with the design. The whole process from design to working drawings and then building consent seemed to me to be very seamless, a lot I believe to be due to Smartdraw Architectures attention to detail and also his efficiency in dealing with any issues. I would not hesitate in recommending Smartdraw Architecture to any prospective home builders.”

A well-chosen architect can design a home that is specifically tailored to your family's lifestyle. Highly competent and professionally-trained designers, many architects in Cambridge, Waikato also use sustainable design principles to maximise the site and materials used, so your home uses less energy and saves you money in the long term.

If your renovation is more than a simple benchtop replacement or roof re-tiling job, then it may be time to find an architect in Cambridge, Waikato who can manage your project from start to finish. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, the scope can span from planning sustainable design into your renovations, to selecting furniture and even interior finishes.

How do I find the right architect for my home design project?


An architect is often the first person you hire for your project. Before taking steps to find an architect in Cambridge, Waikato, ask yourself what you want to achieve from your renovation or home construction. Do you want to improve the liveability and sustainability of your home, or simply expand? What style of architecture do you prefer? Once you have established your motivation, research architects that have completed similar house designs in your Cambridge locale and within a comparable budget to yours.

Undergoing renovations, house extensions or building a new home entirely can be stressful. For this reason, it’s important that you and your chosen architect get along and share the same values, especially if you require an architect to help you refine your brief. To establish this rapport, you may need to meet several times with the architects on your shortlist before making a final decision on who you hire. The relationship you have with your architect is very personal, and will involve discussions of your habits, hobbies and tastes, so you want to ensure you have picked someone you feel comfortable in sharing this information with.

Most importantly, you need to trust that your architect will manage your home improvement or house design within budget, while working with site constraints, and coordinating the relationships of all parties involved in the project.

Ideally, your Cambridge, Waikato architect will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Your architect may be needed to select and hire Waikato subcontractors (e.g. builders, engineers and landscape architects) just as they may need to negotiate contracts with stakeholders. A good client-architect relationship will ensure they are your biggest advocate along the way during construction.

Finally, remember that the most well-known or established architect may not provide the right architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project.
