“We worked with Kennedy Architecture to build our home. From day 1, Troy was always available to answer questions, make changes, help with design and decor decisions, basically everything I needed.

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 March 2011
“Rick has done a tremendous job for me over the last eight years. His architectural work has ranged from a modern barn, pool house/outdoor kitchen,trophy/game room, an expansion, remodel and new construction of a two story home and a one and a half story home. The Fonseca Group was easy to work with and always found time to fit me into their schedule. He did a great job working as a team player with the engineers and general contractors and always met his deadlines on the design and revisions which kept our numerous projects on track and within my budget. If you choose to use The Fonseca Group, you will get the experience and the professional's that every project needs. ”
Design DCA
Architects & Building Designers in El Lago.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 September 2013
“We hired Design DCA (David Cox) to design our custom home. The reason we chose Design DCA was because we had previously toured one of his homes. The architecture of the home was unique, open, and with a great layout and flow. We actually loved the floor plan so much that we decided to base our design on it with minor changes made. David added a mudroom and kitchen pantry and redesigned the 3rd floor media space. He also designed all the interior elevation and exterior site plan. David was extremely easy to work with. He's professional, courteous, and very responsive. In addition, his fees are reasonable. We would highly recommend Design DCA for your next project.”
Hollenbeck Architects
Architects & Building Designers in El Lago.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 August 2015
“I cannot give enough praise to Hellenbeck Architects. Brad and Karen have helped us design our dream home. Brad can actually design a "feeling". Karen has the most impeccable taste. We searched for the right Architects for over a year; going to every open house, every Architectural tour available. Every time we were overwhelmed by the beauty of the design it would be a creation by Hollenbeck. They are down to earth, easy to work with and extraordinary knowledgeable. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to design their dream home.”
Scott Ballard Architect LLC
Architects & Building Designers in El Lago.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 February 2015
“Scott took my list of 'wants' and transformed them into an off the charts fantasy second home that is both livable and beautiful. He was tremendously easy to work with, listening to our concerns and incorporating the (very few) changes we suggested graciously. This is not always the case with an architect and their ego. He is very down to earth and has a great eye for both aesthetics and budget. I would definitely recommend him!”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 April 2016
“Very professional and skillful. We have worked on multiple projects and they consistently delivers within the time frame & budget. Always accommodates suggestions/revisions.”

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

How do I find the best El Lago, 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 El Lago, 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 El Lago, 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, El Lago, 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 El Lago, 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?
