Featured Reviews for Building Designers in Nanaimo, BC

Lanefab Design/Build
Building Designers in Nanaimo, BC
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars21 January 2013
“Lanefab provides excellent service to their customers and is a pleasure to work with as a professional. We work with them on a routine basis collaboratively on design and install. Their modern take on laneway homes and eco footprint makes them an invaluable resource in a city that is quickly densifying.”
Datum Point Studios Inc.
Building Designers in Nanaimo, BC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 September 2016
“I hired Datum Point for 2 projects - a residential garage in a heritage style to match the house, and a residential detached duplex project. Both designs were completed to a very high standard.”
Synthesis Design Inc.
Building Designers in Nanaimo, BC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 April 2011
“We worked with the team at Synthesis Design and (now 2 1/2 years later) we are (still) thouroughly happy with their work. In fact, we consider them to be part of our family! When we went into this project we knew nothing about design, construction, zoning, or anything... we told them "we're either going to be your best clients or your worst, because we don't know what we don't know"... Well they certainly helped us through it incredibly well! Not only did they do a great job (many of the photos they posted here are of our home), but we had a blast working with them too! Our home is very important to us.. and take note the word... HOME... that's what Synthesis built for us... our family, our values, our lives were worked into this home in so many wonderful ways! I can't say I would ever use them again... because they did such a fantastic job this time around that we are NEVER moving. We love our home and we love Synthesis Design. C, L, K, O, K, B, everyone... you know who I'm talking about! :) !!! Don`t even THINK, hire them straight away!!!”
D3 Design
Building Designers in Nanaimo, BC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 April 2017
“No question, our house was a challenge. Kirsten and D3 were tasked with recreating plans for a 105-year-old house as no blueprints existed... the greater challenge, however, was the Heritage Revitalization Agreement with the City of New Westminster. Along with heritage specialist Elana Zysblat, Kirsten helped to save another house in the Queen's Park neighbourhood. Creative and thoughtful design to maximize space inside, and conservation-sensitive exterior modifications have resulted in a house that has one of the biggest - if not the biggest floor-space ratio in New Westminster. Neighbours have commented that aside from looking sharp and clean, the house generally looks the same from the street... exactly the goal that Kirsten, Elana and the City were trying to achieve. We are very pleased with Kirsten and her enthusiastic, patient and professional approach. When the work required to complete the heritage revitalization process exceeded the original budget, Kirsten put in many extra hours and did not charge us - and offered to perform any additional services at a reduced rate. This is the way to handle the unexpected... thank you, Kirsten! I would be happy to work with her again in the future. When the exterior painting is done, I will post photos...”
Open Interiors Inc
Building Designers in Nanaimo, BC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 October 2019
“I have worked with Julene on 3 separate projects and she never ceases to deliver. She is my go-to for design and prep work when I am building. She has designed and executed two commercial spaces for me, and is now working on my custom home. I have recommended her to many people because of how much trust I have in her capabilities.”
Alex Glegg Design
Building Designers in Nanaimo, BC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 September 2014
“The design team at Alex Glegg Design was very intuitive. We found that Alex was able to easily interpret our ideas and dreams for our new home, through discussion and photos and put them on paper for us to explore further. We ended up with the perfect solution for our renovated home. From start to finish. It was a wonderful experience.”
Atelier BC
Building Designers in Nanaimo, BC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 October 2021
“We hired Atelier Architecture + Design to do an extensive renovation on our condo converting it from a one bedroom den to a two bedroom. The project included a gourmet kitchen, bathroom with walk in glass shower and double floating vanity, all flooring, full laundry room, walk in closet in master bedroom and many other fine detailed updates. Dominika was meticulous in all aspects of her design and work to also ensure all permits and strata regulations were met. We would highly recommend Dominika and her team at Atelier Architecture + Design - good client communication and great attention to detail and craftsmanship.”
Villamar Design
Building Designers in Nanaimo, BC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 November 2018
“Villamar took over the design and project management of our home in early 2017 after we had difficulties finalizing the design and project cost with another firm. Villamar provided an accurate and transparent cost estimate which they followed through on. Specifically, Duane Ensing worked through the design details with us, enlisting the interior design services, where appropriate, of Lisa Dunsmuir (OneStep Design). We were happy with the design process and the effective problem-solving approach used. The site superintendent for the actual construction project was Drew Mackie. His attention to detail, to quality, and to ensuring we were satisfied with the outcome was his focus when working with us. His integrity is impeccable and allowed us to feel that our project was in reliable hands. After living in the completed house for six months, we can recommend Villamar without reservation to design, project manage and construct your new home.”
Eaton Home Designs Ltd

“As a high end custom home builder I have been working with Romana from Eaton Home Designs for 20 years.Romana takes the time with my clients to give them everything they want in their custom Dream Home at the same time thinking about my budgets and cost affective ness of the design and build. Romana also works well with the City plan checkers getting our plans through the difficult permit process we deal with in B.C. I highly recommend Romana from Eaton Home Design to anyone wanting house plans to build a unique custom home at a reasonable cost.”

How to find the right building designer in Nanaimo, BC for your build or renovation


As with all other professional services for home design and renovation, the best way to choose a building designer is to assess their past work against the style and requirements you have for your individual project.Most states don’t have specific registration processes for building designers, so it’s best that your search is based on past work and referrals. Some industry bodies or professional associations, such as the Building Designers Association of Victoria (BDAV), offer a list of members, which you can check against bodies such as the Victorian Building Authority (VBA), to gauge their type of work and any registration numbers.

Once you have a shortlist of building designers, engage in face-to-face talks about your brief, to ensure you’re on the same page. To get the most value for your money, you want someone who understands you, agrees with your ideas – in relation to sustainable design, space and function – and has the qualifications and enthusiasm to translate ideas to paper and into a reality.
