Featured Reviews for Architects & Building Designers in Dallas.

Stephen Davis Home Designs, LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Dallas.
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars5 September 2015
“Stephen adapted a stock plan for our house, which we called the Fieldstream. The in-office process was focused and creative, while the follow up and plan completion was perhaps a bit less timely. Nevertheless, the result in terms of functionality, flow, and great touches like the desk nook was great.”

“I recently used Chase Corker with Corker Designs for my personal residence. Chase Corker worked closely with me and my wife throughout the entire project. He was always available and quick to respond to any questions in the field. Chase is skilled, knowledgable, trustworthy and efficient. I do not hesitate to recommend Corker Designs to my friends, family and Colleagues. My company will definitely use them again on future projects. Cheers!”
SHM Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Dallas.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 June 2013
“Our team has had the privilege of partnering with SHM on multiple projects, including several that are currently being built. The SHM team -- led by David Stocker, Mark Hoesterey and Enrique Montengro -- takes creativity to a whole new level with every house they design by never approaching two projects the same. Their ability to take in the environment surrounding a home and maximize it is remarkable, resulting in homes that showcase the properties they live on. We are quick to refer new clients to SHM because we know the high-quality of their end-product. Each architect brings a unique perspective to the projects they lead, and their team is always professional and helpful. We truly enjoy partnering with them to bring their visions to life.”

O'Brien Custom Home Designs
Architects & Building Designers in Dallas.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 November 2014
“We hired O'Brien to help us design our dream home in the country. We met with him (On the build site 170 miles from his office) and described exactly what we wanted...shape, size, floor plan layout. When he came back to us the layout was almost exactly opposite of what we asked for and you know what??? THANK YOU!!! Anyone we worked with could have done exactly what we asked for but Dave knew what we really wanted by listening to us describe our vision of the house. He's been GREAT to work with on making sure that we are happy with the results. We've built four other houses previous to this one and I can tell you he knows not only how to draw plans but also the business. Great ideas on how to save $$$ also. He's the real deal for sure.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 July 2018
“I hired Nick to design a kitchen remodel to my 1941 home. I showed him my ideas. Our appointment exceeded my expectations. I showed him various ideas I wanted, Nick took those and drew up exactly what I didn't envision what could be done with me kitchen. He is professional, and super creative within budget, plus sets expectations.”

Bohannon Design Team
Architects & Building Designers in Dallas.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 May 2014
“After reviewing Direct Home Designs information on Houzz, I decided to contact Wendy. She promptly returned my call. We set up a meeting within the next couple of days to discuss new house plans. After sitting down with her and discussing my "wants" and my attempts to sketch the layout, I knew she was the perfect person to design our new home. She really listened to what we liked and didn't like. She asked questions on how our current house functioned. She brought up items we hadn't even thought about! Needless to say, our new house plans are wonderful. We will be breaking ground soon and I can't wait to post pictures so everyone can see how great Wendy's work is!”

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 Dallas, TX, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Dallas, TX 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 Dallas, TX 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 Dallas, TX 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, Dallas, TX 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 Dallas, TX 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.)
  • Will you help with hiring a general contractor and other subcontractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
  • What will I need to provide?
