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

RARA Designz
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Wakefield
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 9, 2023
“I engaged Ashish of “RARA Designz” as designer for home improvement for small area extension in one corner to build prayer/Pooja room. Prior to his site visit, I had a plan in my mind to extend the area in both levels, ground and upper floors. His guidance and recommendation in the very first interaction, using the cost versus usable benefit approach, helped me to decide to go with only ground level improvement. This simple decision had a huge positive impact on right scoping of the project. During the course of detailing of drawings, his providing the drawings as options analysis helped me make choices for specific situations. He provided service in a timely manner, setting the expectations upfront. He provided statement of work, and transparent pricing based on expected hours of work. Overall, I am happy and satisfied to have contracted “RARA Designz” for home improvement design service.”

GARC Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Wakefield
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 4, 2017
“What they did was beyond our expectation.They spent a lot of time on truly understanding our lifestyle and needs, and introduced the “aging-in-place” concept. The scheme looks beautiful, detailed, and innovative.They did a good job on bringing out the potential of our house, which has great views to the lake. The new great room looks spacious and full of natural light. As their concept proposed, it will be vacation at home for us. Yang and Suping are delightful to work with. They are good at communicating their design. Since I’m not familiar with reading drawings, they used 3d models/images to help me understand, even a VR glass to help me visualize the rooms.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 6, 2016
“We are glad we chose Dave Chase to help us with our major exterior home remodel project. Dave's skills were up to the job of designing a new look for our 20 year old home; and providing a knowledgeable sound architectural basis for all of the changes. Dave charged a fair price, and then committed to our project in a personable and reliable manner. He was available to us through change orders, and long after presenting the initial plans. We have already recommended Dave to friends who just purchased a lot and thinking of building a new home. Thank you Dave. We love our results!”

“Carol at Residential Design Solutions, Inc is definitely one of the most talented residential designers I have worked with, and with 15 + years as a GC I have worked with a lot! But talent is only one of the ingredients needed to be really great. Carol not only completed my plan in a very timely manner but also followed thru with obtaining my James City County Building Permit by overcoming every obstacle the inspectors put in her way. You will not be disappointed! I guarantee it!”

Is the scope of your home design project beyond simply replacing countertops or flooring? It’s the responsibility of a Wakefield 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 Wakefield, VA architectural firms and designers, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one: 

How do I find the best Wakefield 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 Wakefield 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 Wakefield, VA 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 Wakefield 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?
