Why book a local architect through Airtasker?
There’s nothing like the bliss that comes with planning for your new home. But as much as it’s fun to take everything under your control, it’s wise to work with a professional architect to pull off the project, plus make sure it’s safe, up to code, and visually enticing!
With Airtasker, you can link up with an architect with the right education, skills, and experience to make your vision come to life. This platform can be helpful especially if it’s your first time to have a home (or even a commercial building) designed and you’re unsure where to begin.
Skip the hassle in posting online ads or travelling to architectural firms. In finding a Tasker, you can take the initiative in laying out your budget and schedule. Ratings and reviews are also available to ensure satisfaction. The suitable residential architect near you is just a few clicks away.
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.
Easy research
Rather than going out to find and compare architects, Airtasker brings professional designs straight to your inbox.
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.
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.
Top Architects related questions
In the United Kingdom, architects’ professional fees depend on how they want to charge you—percentage or fixed.
They can also charge through a percentage system, asking for 5% to 12% of the house’s total cost. An architect's cost can range from £1,000 to £5,000 and depends on the project you need.
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.Â
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 architects do?
A range of architectural services are at your fingertips, thanks to Airtasker. Ensure that you achieve the quality and beauty of a property you’re about to have, whether it’s a commercial space or your own home.Â
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.Â
Dive deeper into the service here:
Architectural rendering and visualisation
Your architect guides you from the ground up. They can help you  design your home or commercial space, which includes making a 3D rendering of your design.Â
The Tasker can work on making your design aligned to your needs and tastes while following building codes, safety standards, and industry best practises. Some can even provide you with a 3D video where you can walk through the design—you can take a peek into how it might look after construction. Then if you’re a realtor, you can make the 3D rendering viewable online for potential clients to view.
Building designers
Need to put your design down on paper for reference and documentation purposes? You can work with a building designer. This is also an ideal step if you are already an architect or have engaged local architects.
The building designer can offer an accurate architect drawing and schematics of your design that comply with building codes, safety standards, and state regulations.
Residential architects
Whether it’s for building single-family homes, high-end homes, flats, condominiums, apartment buildings, or townhouses, residential architects near you are convenient to connect with on Airtasker. These speciality architects can propose designs that match 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.Â
Interior architects
If your home or commercial building’s basic structure and design are already ready, you can link up with an interior architect. They can design your property’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 looking to making 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
A floor plan can determine how your walls, rooms, fixtures, and other physical features contribute to flow and how they look in your design. A good floor plan aligns with your needs and tastes, maximises your space, and follows building codes, safety regulations, and best practises.
