Locus Design + Consulting
Architects & Building Designers in Bowdon.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 February 2013
“Loraine Cunanan did an excellent job on the planning of our unique house. She took great pains to take our ideas and crude drawings and create a beautiful result. She worked well with the builder and followed up on the work. In fact, this was an Earth Craft house in every aspect of the words. We would recommend her work to anyone wanting a unique and one of a kind house.”

“Max listened very carefully to our wishes, and then was able to take an existing house and transcribe what we were asking for and create a new house from it. His talent made our house look totally different. We loved his creativity.”
Residential Productions

“My wife and I have worked with Tom Rogers multiple times in the past. In particular, he designed a retirement home for us several years ago. More recently Tom designed and modified a garage, breezeway and merged into the main dweling for us. This created multiple challenges due to merging two structures (detached garage to a main dwelling including a breezeway), all with different roof pitches. In working with us, Tom not only designed the structures, he prepared graphical 3D views before construction and how the look would be during various times of the day, aka, sun movement. In the final design, Tom provided detailed construction drawings that was applauded by the contractors used. When the design was presented to the homeowner's association for approval, approval was granted within hours which is unheard of. This immediate approval was in part the result of such a clean, clever and appealing design that enhanced the look of the home. All in all, we can not say enough about Tom's professional competence, attention to detail, wisdom of his years experience and his unique ability to carefully listen to his client. Tom comes with outstanding praise. Note the first two pictures are the before state and the last two pictures are after Tom's design and construction.”

“David did a fantastic job designing our tree house. I told him what I wanted and he drew it up and it turned out exactly like I wanted it.”
L. Mitchell Ginn and Assoc.
Architects & Building Designers in Bowdon.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 June 2012
“We have actually used Mitch Ginn to draw two homes for us. The first time (in 2005) we brought him a Waffle House napkin and some other papers where we drew our floor plan concept. He took our napkin and verbal wish list and drew up the PERFECT home inside and out. When our life circumstances changed, we returned to him in 2011 and again, he took what we told him and created another PERFECT home. This man is incredibly talented and truly listens to his clients. Even when I had trouble completely verbalizing my vision, he saw it and drew exactly what we had in mind. His design was fresh, creative and in our case captured the historical essence we desired. (We have not completed the landscaping or painted the front steps yet, but otherwise, it is complete.)”

“Mr. Mark Smith, an architect at Alan Bell, helped Lighthouse Classical Academy enormously with codes compliance as we renovated our first property. We could not have navigated the state codes requirements without his assistance.”

It is often said when you're building a house, you’re building a dream. An architect or master of building design can make your dream house a reality. Architects can help you design and redesign spaces of your home or focus on helping you build your own house from the ground up. Architectural firms have extensive knowledge of architectural design and building materials, and a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light, and flow within a property. As you search through architects and building designers in Bowdon, GA, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Bowdon, GA architect for my home design or renovation project?


When building or renovating your home, you don't simply hire an architect or building designer — you build a relationship with them. Be sure you chose a home architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Architecture is an incredibly technical profession and one where getting things wrong can literally put lives at risk, so ensure you hire a professional with a valid license or an architectural firm to maintain high quality and standards. Your next consideration will be architectural style. Some residential architects specialise in designing traditional homes or farmhouses, others in designing modern replicas of traditional homes. While a few have a knack for imagining bolder, more futuristic architectural design in Bowdon, GA that incorporates the latest technology.

Once you have frozen on the architect or building designer, chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and any other specific requirements you might have. Ask them to walk you through the process, including the number of architectural design consultations, site visits and what they will be delivering and when, e.g. feasibility study, a technical drawing, tender package and/or planning application drawings. Also, get a sense of whether they are a good listener, collaborator, and problem solver. Finally, be sure to find out what the architect needs from you,deeds, rights of way, deposit, staged payments and so on.

How much does hiring an architect in Bowdon, GA cost?


Home construction and renovation often have a preset budget and hence it is important to understand how much architects charge. While there is no set payment structure, independent architects may charge differently from architectural firms. Architects sometimes choose to calculate their fees on the basis of a per square foot rate. In rare cases, especially with smaller projects, Bowdon, GA architects may choose to ask their clients for a fixed fee. Make sure the total figure and payment schedule is agreed as part of your contract, particularly if you are trying to accurately estimate the cost of building a house.


Questions to ask prospective Bowdon, GA architects:


  • What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • Who will be working on my project? (This is very important if you hire an architectural firm)
  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Can you handle my special requests?
  • What is your experience with similar projects/ architectural design and style?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
  • What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with your vision.)
