Featured Reviews for Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Plainview

Bergland + Cram Architects
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Plainview
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 27, 2013
“Scott Borcherding of the Bergland & Cram firm of Mason City did the interior design restoration work on Frank Lloyd Wright's Park Inn Hotel. A citizens' group had the building restored; the firm won a major national historic preservation award last fall. The hotel is beautiful, reminiscent of FLW's Dana Thomas House in Springfield, Illinois--both are Prairie Style. The project involved the restoration of 62 stained glass windows and hotel rooms.”

“Kieth has helped us for a number of years with his drafting skills. He is very knowledgeable of construction and understands very well how things are built, this understanding has helped us to come up with solutions that allow me as a contractor to stay on budget as well as resolve project difficulties within budget. He explains the process very well and lays out a realistic time line for clients. He follows through and keeps his word. Keith is a pleasure to work with, his dealings are fair honest and he is a man of his word. I would regard him as the best draftsmen I have ever worked with.”

“I worked with Steve on a renovation design for my cabin. He is everything you want in a professional. He is responsive, takes time to understand and clarify your needs / goals, adaptable, has great ideas and his designs exceeded my expectations. I really appreciated his adaptability as this was a "design by consensus" (extended family) project and he was asked to produce four designs. He met some tight time frames and did great work for us. I would recommend his work to family and friends and plan to work with him on other projects.”

“We've been working with Ed on a rendering of our new home. We already had some plans completed by a different designer but it was nothing like being able to walk through your house before it is even built. This allowed us to make some changes now instead of having change orders in the field. We wouldn't build another house without having Ed provide us a rendering...it is worth every penny.”
Necessories™ Kits for Outdoor Living
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Plainview
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 11, 2016
“Necessories Kits are awesome! If you've ever done a lego set with your child or as a child, it's a little like that. Take a second and get some advice from the manufacturer, or an area pro, as there are some structural things, especially with the ground you lay it on, that you need to know first. There's a lot of weight with some of the finished kits that would be trouble with preparation of a proper base. Otherwise you'll be really happy with the product. Hope this helps!”

Is the scope of your home design project beyond simply replacing countertops or flooring? It’s the responsibility of a Plainview home architect to transform human needs and desires into visual concepts and habitable structures. When you hire an architectural designer, you are not only hiring someone for their architectural services, but also to manage and coordinate other parties involved in the project. As you search through local Plainview, MN architectural firms and designers, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one: 

How do I find the best Plainview residential design architect for my project?


It is best to hire a residential architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. They are often the first person you will hire for your project, and it's common for architects' contractors, or subcontractors, to prefer working with one another, which means better relationships and smoother work on your home. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants, from builders, to engineers and even landscapers. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the Plainview 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. Different residential architecture firms in Plainview, MN provide different services, so the scope of the work can span from pre-design environmental impact studies to selecting furniture and finishes, depending on what your specific needs are.

Questions to ask prospective Plainview interior architects:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Do you have professional liability insurance?
  • Can you handle my special requests (ADA, LEED etc.)?
  • 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 a general contractor and subcontractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
