SBAS
Architects in Galway, Co. Galway
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 August 2020
“Stephen Blake was recommended by one of our subcontractors to help us with a major house renovation and extension. Stephen listened carefully to what we envisioned. He was extremely knowledgeable about the building codes which was important when discussing new window and door options. When the placement of the new columns got tricky, Stephen was very patient and willing to work with us until they were perfect. The whole process was quick and easy. Gabi and I highly recommend SBAS!”
Laura Brennan Architects
Architects in Galway, Co. Galway
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 November 2016
“Laura stepped in to assist us with the architectural detailing of our family home during the construction phase. She was highly recommended by friends and she lived up to her reputation. Laura took particular interest in our wishlists and and personal style and added her own suggestions - all of which have contributed to the beautiful home we live in today. Laura shows an immense interest in the detailing of finishes, is a lovely person to work with and made the process of building a family home less stressful and more enjoyable. We would not hesitate to recommend her and would call on Laura again, if we ever venture down this road again...................”

Architect or Architectural Designer FAQs
An architect is a professional who designs and creates building plans, ensuring the building is functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. They collaborate with clients to understand their needs and create designs that meet their requirements. Architects also consider building codes, regulations, and sustainability principles in their designs. They may oversee the construction process to ensure it aligns with the design intent.
If you are looking at a house extension or building a new home from scratch, chances are you are going to need the help of a residential architect. They have extensive knowledge of architectural design, construction methods and building materials, not to mention a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light and flow within a property. Architects will also be far more capable of seeing the bigger picture – carefully balancing aesthetic appeal with structural safety. With their local knowledge, your Galway architect will also often help to obtain planning permission and building regulations approval.

    After choosing a residential architect, you will usually start with a consultation to discuss the project. Preferably at your property or building site where the work will be done. Give as clear a picture as possible of the kind of home you are trying to create to your architects. Chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and feedback, together with any very specific requirements you might have. They will explain their process to you alongside any other on-site visits up to and including the build stage, depending on whether they will be involved at that stage. From there they will produce the designs and plans required for your project.
    The cost of hiring an architect in Galway can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project, experience, reputation, and location. Architectural fees are typically structured as a percentage of the project’s total construction cost, ranging from 8% to 15%. For example, if a project has a construction cost of £500,000 and the architect’s fee is 10%, the fee would be £50,000. It’s advisable to discuss fees and payment structures with architects in Galway during initial consultations.
