Why book a local architect through Airtasker?
Building your dream home? Although your personal choices are important, you can’t just plan its design on your own. The same applies for commercial properties.
It’s best to hire an architect near you for the big move. It doesn’t have to be an overwhelming process of scouring various architectural firms—with Airtasker, you can lead the conversation by posting your project details, budget, schedule, and more. Whether it’s a high-end residential plan or a low-cost home project, you can connect with a pool of experts who can help you make your vision a reality. No one knows how to navigate this better than a knowledgeable residential architect.
After posting your task, you can browse through previous client ratings and reviews to help you seal the decision. With just a few clicks, you can ensure your home is safe, up to code, and visually pleasing!
Find insured architects
Because of the importance of an architect’s work, it’s vital that they’re fully insured. All tasks on our site are covered for up to $10 million third party liability.
Get the best architects in your area
After each completed task on our site, you’re given the option to rate and review your worker. You’ll be able to easily compare local architects who have completed a project and see what others think of their work.
Don’t break the bank
Building projects are expensive pursuits, however on Airtasker you set the budget. When you post your task, you say how much you’re willing to pay and local architects apply based on that figure.
Easy research
Rather than going out to find and compare architects, Airtasker brings professional designs straight to your inbox.
Top Architects related questions
In Australia, architects’ professional fees vary based on how they want to charge you, which are either percentage or fixed fees. In a percentage system, they can ask for 5% to 18% of the house’s total cost. For example, if your project’s total cost is $300,000 and your hired architect applies a 10% fee, your architect gets $30,000.
Meanwhile, fixed fees typically cover the cost of renovations. Some architects charge hourly. They usually charge $50 to $120 per hour. Your project’s complexity, location, Tasker’s experience, and more also greatly affect the final rate.
It is ideal to hire an architect first before a builder. You can also hire them at the same time upon the start of the project. This is to avoid having design plans that will cost more than your allotted construction budget.
When posting on Airtasker, you can ask for a residential architect who has a builder to recommend. Or, you can put up a task for a builder right after you make one for an architect.
An architect focuses on the design, look, and style of a structure. Meanwhile, architectural engineers are more concerned with making sure that the structure is sturdy and meets the needs of its occupants. Back in the day, architects practised both disciplines, but these are sometimes considered separate specialisations today.
A tasker can be a good mixture of both as well—someone who knows about good design as much as knowing where to place load-bearing walls and electricals.
Technically, yes, you can draw your own architectural plans with the help of some architectural software or drafting tools and paper. However, hiring a professional will offer an entirely different process and experience. For example, working with a residential architect can optimise your space based on your lifestyle and needs, creatively maximise your materials, and help you pick out energy-efficient fixtures. Plus, your residential architect can take on the tedious daily task of coordinating with a contractor.
The duration mainly depends on how intricate your project is. If you’re requesting a simple home design or one that’s meant for a limited commercial space, the job can take two to three weeks. As for the more complex ones, allot at least a month.
If you’re feeling more adventurous—such as involving 3D rendering and a 3D video walkthrough, that can add another two weeks or more to complete. It’s best to discuss your needs to your architect or designer for a better estimate.
To have a better grasp of their service, you can ask these to your residential architect:
How much time will I need to commit during the entire process?
How can I help?
Have you worked with projects (and budgets) similar to mine?
What are the issues or challenges of my project?
Can you give me a rough timeline of the project?
Do you have a recommended contractor or builder?
Can you help make my building more eco-friendly or reduce the environmental impact of the construction project?
Apart from a degree in architecture, the requisite licence and experience, look for an experienced architect with an attractive portfolio. Try not to choose an architect whose style may clash with yours, unless they are open-minded. They should have a balance of creativity and a rational mind to accept criticism. Excellent problem-solving skills—that can help them adapt to any unexpected issues and keep the project moving—are also good to have.
In checking the floor plan, consider your daily activities. Does the plan provide efficient flow and convenience? For example, does the floor plan make it easy for you to park your car, take groceries into your kitchen, then prepare a meal? Is it easy to move through your living room and dining area? If any of these seem difficult to do with your current floor plan, ask your residential architect or designer to help you make the appropriate changes.

What do architectural services include?
Who doesn’t want a safe, practical, and beautiful property?
In Airtasker, there is a range of architectural services intended to help you design and build a structure, or just utilise a space to the fullest. Some architects help you manage your project’s different stages and requirements, from inception to completion. The process typically includes the consultation, design development, finalising permits and zoning concerns, and production of construction documents.
Explore more about the service here:
Architectural rendering and visualisation
Your architect can help you design your home or commercial space from the ground up. This includes making a 3D rendering of your design. Your Tasker can create a design according to your needs and tastes while conforming to building codes, safety standards, and industry best practises. Some can even provide you with a 3D video where you can walk through the design and see how it might look after construction!
If you’re a realtor, you can make the 3D rendering viewable online for potential clients to view.
Building designers
If you are an architect—or have engaged local architects—but need someone to put your design down on paper for reference and documentation, you can book a building designer. They can provide an accurate architect drawing and schematics of your design that comply with building codes, safety standards, and state regulations.
Residential architects
Residential architects are speciality architects you can hire when you need architecture home design. Whether it’s for building single-family homes, high-end homes, flats, condominiums, apartment buildings, or townhouses, they can propose designs that suit your needs, tastes and budget while abiding by building codes and regulations.
A residential architect may even specialise in certain kinds of design like colonial, contemporary, and more.
Interior architects
Already have the basic structure and design of your home or commercial building? You can hire an interior architect. They can design your home or building’s walls, doors, windows and fixtures. Note that an interior architect is the more technical architect who handles the design layout and installation of electricals, plumbing, heating and cooling systems.
Your architect can also recommend the appropriate materials and techniques for installing each system. You can hire an interior designer to beautify the space after their work is done.
Home renovations
If you’re in the mood to make some changes in your home, there are architects who can lend a hand in renovating and refurbishing. These jobs include loft conversion, garage conversion, basement conversion, and house extensions. Depending on the nature of your renovations, your architect might help you get someone to lay new foundations, put up new walls and do site cleanup.
Floor planning
Professional architects can also do the job of determining how your walls, rooms, fixtures, and other physical features contribute to flow and how they look in your design. This is done through the floor plan. A good one maximises the space and conforms with building codes, safety regulations, and best practises.
