Featured Reviews for Architects in Pontiac, QC

John Donkin Architect Inc.
Architects in Pontiac, QC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 February 2014
“My wife and I interviewed several architects. What we found interesting about John was his unique approach. We knew we would get his full attention and that was exactly what he delivered. Building an infill is tricky. Maximizing natural light and interesting sight lines was a challenge that John was up for. In the end our home is something that we were thrilled with. With time the small but important design details constantly remind us of how special and talented John is. John Donkin has a unique portfolio and provides individual and focused attention to each project.”
Diane Whalen Architect
Architects in Pontiac, QC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 November 2014
“Diane did an amazing job transforming our house into the perfect home! When we sold our house this past spring everyone kept commenting on the amazing design! Diane also did an amazing job managing the project - so much that I kept saying "doing a reno is easy"! I realize it was easy as Diane was carrying all my stress. She managed the timelines and the budget brilliantly! And of course - she was very easy and professional. I was always confident with her advice - I knew it was well researched and thought through! I also knew that the contracts she provided and the payments she approved were done correctly - and I didn't have to worry about issues with contractors. My husband and I would highly recommend her!

Bell+Associates Architecture Inc.
Architects in Pontiac, QC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 September 2014
“We remember our first meeting with Jim when he was still with David Malling, first impression Jim is an excellent listener. We had done our research and were full of ideas on what we wanted in a home. Our dream home was not simple, curved walls, interesting roof lines, timber frame beams, oversized windows and doors, a massive fireplace, Jim made it all come to life on paper. Some of Jim's best attributes were his calm manner, promptness and availability. He was always reachable or prompt in getting back if we or our general contractor had a question or an issue. This was so reassuring especially when you are in the thick of a project of this magnitude. Building a home from scratch is never easy, but Jim helped simplify some decision making. His sample charts for example for the exterior of our home, he had choices for colour/style/texture to help us envision where we wanted stone versus brick and wood siding. When we think back on our overall experience in building our beautiful home, hiring Jim to design it was one of the best decisions we had made. Thanks Jim for making our dream come true !!!!!!”

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 Pontiac, QC 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 Pontiac, QC 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 Pontiac, QC, 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 Pontiac 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 Pontiac, QC 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 Quebec 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.
