David Ludwig - Architect
Architects in Fresno, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars31 January 2014
“I've worked with David on a number of projects in my home. There are so many qualities I appreciate in him. He is able to understand my lifestyle and how I want to live in my home and translate that into a vision. He asks great questions that help me clarify how I envision the changes I want. He translates that vision into detailed drawings that contractors can understand and work with. And he is there every step of the way making sure that the work is done to a high standard of quality and brings the vision to life. I love working with David and highly recommend him to anyone who wants to work with a creative, patient, and visionary architect who will be your partner through the whole process.”
3D Designs by David
Architects in Fresno, CA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 October 2013
“We came across 3D Designs booth in March 2013 at the Fresno Home and Garden Show and we are really glad we did. Dave and his team had a very impressive booth with eye catching displays of their work. Dave and Kim followed up in very timely fashion and got right in to our project. They listened carefully to what we were trying to do in our backyard in the way of a big facelift and came up with fun and new and creative ideas. Their 3D Designs were promptly emailed to us and tweaks were made as needed. The guys Dave recommended especially Carlos Brisenos were great to work with and surpassed our expectations in many ways. If something was not right, Dave anf Carlos made sure it got fixed or done right to our satisfaction. We love our new backyard and working with with Dave and Kim and Dave's son was a real joy. His attention to detail and sense of humor was awesome and very much appreciated by my wife and I. We would and have highly recommend 3D Design”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 September 2019
“This was my first time working with ERW Design and all I can say is WOW. From top to bottom this firm is the gold standard when it comes to professionalism within architecture and design. Elaine René-Weissman was extremely knowledgeable, creative, and such a pleasure to work with. When it comes to photography I am very particular about how each shot is crafted, composed, and executed. So to work alongside someone like Elaine created the perfect dynamic. This is a special project to me and I would be honored to work with ERW Design in the future.”

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 Fresno, CA 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 Fresno, CA 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 Fresno, CA, 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 Fresno 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 Fresno, CA 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 California 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.
