What to know about Architectural designers

An architectural designer prepares the drawings a home project is built from. That covers plans for a new house or cottage, additions and second storeys, garages and garden suites, basement apartments, decks, and the permit drawings a municipality asks for before it lets work start. Designers also measure existing houses to produce as-built drawings, often the first step before any renovation is designed.

What changes in Montreal

We list 19 areas inside Montreal on their own pages, because a service area is drawn by each pro and does not always reach the whole city. For home design, the part of town matters as much as the city.

Montreal is the principal city of a wider area we list under the name Greater Montreal, which takes in 63 other places. A pro's service area might be Montreal on its own or the whole of it — we match on the one they gave us.

Montreal publishes its own building-permit page, and it is linked below beside the rules that apply in Quebec. Whether home design needs a permit is answered there, not in a quote.

Our Quebec guide has no rule written for this trade, so there is none below. That is not the same as nothing applying: ask for proof of insurance, and for anything that touches gas, wiring or drains, ask who is certified to do it.

Home design costs in Montreal

Prices depend on the details of your project. We only publish price ranges when they’re backed by real LokalMatch quote data or reliable sources. Until then, here’s what usually changes the price:

  • Type of professional and service needed
  • Size and complexity of the project
  • Level of detail in drawings or reports
  • Number of site visits and meetings
  • Number of design revisions
  • Help with permits or contractor selection

How to choose architectural designers in Montreal

  • Match the professional to the job: an architect or engineer where the work requires one, a designer for layout and finishes, or an inspector for a condition report.
  • Ask whether they are licensed or certified for this type of work in your province, where that applies.
  • Review a portfolio or sample report that's similar to your project.
  • Get a written agreement that spells out the services, deliverables, number of revisions and how fees are charged.
  • Ask whether their drawings will be suitable for a permit application, and whether they'll help with it.

Questions to ask architectural designers before you hire

  • Are you licensed or certified for this type of work in my province?
  • What exactly will you deliver: drawings, specifications, a report or site visits?
  • How are your fees charged: a fixed fee, hourly or based on the project cost?
  • How many rounds of revisions are included?
  • Will your drawings be ready for a permit application, and will you submit it?
  • Can I see a sample of a similar project or report?
  • Do you carry professional liability insurance?

Home design permits in Montreal

Some home design work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.

Common home design questions

Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?

Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.

How many pros will contact me?

We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.

Do I have to hire someone?

No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
