At Waals Architects and Consultants, we provide comprehensive architectural services including concept design, design development, construction documentation, project supervision, and construction management. We also offer interior design, 3D visualizations, and coordination with other consultants to ensure smooth project delivery.
Do you only design buildings, or do you also manage construction?
We do both. While architectural design is at the heart of what we do, we also provide construction management and supervision services to ensure your project is built to the highest quality and in line with the agreed design.
Do you work on both residential and commercial projects?
Yes. Our portfolio spans residential, commercial, hospitality, institutional, and mixed-use developments, giving us the flexibility and expertise to meet diverse client needs.
What is your design philosophy?
We believe in creating timeless, functional, and context-sensitive spaces that enhance the lives of those who use them. Our approach blends innovation with practicality, always guided by the client’s vision, budget, and the unique characteristics of the site.
Can you work with my existing contractor?
Absolutely. We are happy to collaborate with your preferred contractor. Our role will be to ensure the design intent is maintained and technical standards are met throughout the construction process.
Do you handle renovations and extensions?
Yes. We handle renovations, refurbishments, and extensions with the same attention to detail as new builds, ensuring seamless integration with existing structures while upgrading them to modern standards.
How early should I engage an architect in my project?
As early as possible. Involving us from the beginning allows us to guide site selection, feasibility studies, budgeting, and concept design — ensuring the project starts on the right track and avoids costly changes later.
Do you provide 3D visualizations or virtual walkthroughs?
Yes. We provide realistic 3D renderings and virtual walkthroughs to help you fully understand and experience the design before construction begins.
How do you charge for your services — fixed fee, hourly, or percentage of construction cost?
Our fees are typically calculated as a percentage of the construction cost, in line with industry standards. However, we also offer fixed fees or hourly rates for certain projects, depending on scope and complexity.
Can you design for challenging sites (slopes, small plots, irregular shapes)?
Yes. We excel at finding creative solutions for challenging sites, turning constraints into opportunities for unique and innovative designs that maximize space, function, and beauty.
