Featured Reviews for Architects & Building Designers in Franklin County.

dl-Design Studio PLLC
Architects & Building Designers in Franklin County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 January 2020
“My wife and I bought a home on a beautiful lake just a short distance from our offices, removed the existing home, and needed an incredible design for this unique property. We decided to retain Darrell and Liz based on some of their previous work, as well as both of them were LEED certified (an organization and green building standard I helped start in the early ‘90’s). They quickly caught our vision and desires, and made many improvements by blending in their own expertise and experience. At each iteration of the design we became more and more excited about our future home and how it seamlessly integrated into the property promising wonderful views and an incredible indoor/outdoor living experience. Sadly our plans changed and we sold the property, but have purchased 10 acres in Washington state with an even more incredible view, and will be incorporating many of the design features into our retirement home. Darrell and Liz are highly recommended if you’re wanting to do something outside the ordinary, and want architects who are easy to work with.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 February 2013
“We have had the opportunity to work with a few members of the 2SL Design Build team over the years. In fact, we’re working with Dave on a project right now! It is clear to us that the team at 2SL has a passion for what they do and always keep their customers’ needs as a priority.”

“I have worked with Carter on multiple projects over the years and he has done an amazing job. I highly recommend him.”
Barnett Adler
Architects & Building Designers in Franklin County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 December 2013
“Barnett did not disappoint...again! This is the 4th house I have used the interior/exterior design services of Barnett Adler...and it's certainly the most complex and best one he's done to date! Barnett has that incredible ability to envision gorgeous, welcoming and spectacular spaces from almost sterile rooms and make them into a reality. And...while keeping to a budget! What impresses me most is that he can give you a million dollar look at pennies on the dollar. Either through using less expensive substitutions or scouring the internet for close outs on very high end furniture, fabrics and accessories. He is also re-did my house's exterior. First on CAD/CAM and then by interviewing and selecting the best contractor who bid on the job. Barnett comes with my highest recommendations possible.”
Toma Farren Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Franklin County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 January 2024
“Working with Toma Farren Architects was wonderful. Megan listened to our desires for our remodel, made adjustments to stay in our budget and was always available to answer questions during the work. We are over the moon with our final look of our kitchen and dining area. We feel we've moved into a new house with the new flow and access to our entire living space.”

“Lived in her best ever home design in St Paul MN - moved out in mid-1990’s and have missed the beautiful designs throughout the house - including smart built-ins and natural light in every room - on all three levels. We need you here in Denver!!!”
Frazier Home Design
Architects & Building Designers in Franklin County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 December 2015
“We have worked with Tony and his team for many years. The design/build process with our homeowners and Frazier Home Design is always flawless, as is the final product. Frazier really excels in space planning and exterior design and we would highly recommend working with them for a custom plan to fit your personality and your family's needs.”
Hauch Design PLLC
Architects & Building Designers in Franklin County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 September 2015
“I had the privilege in working with this company last Christmas. Jeremy Hauch crafted a beautiful table for my great room. I recently moved and designed my new space just off his piece. As a fellow artist, I was a bit nervous about trusting someone else to complete my vision but Jeremy worked with me to make sure the table was exactly what I envisioned. Hauch Design pieces are artistic, one-of-a-kind and well crafted. I planning on having Hauch Design PLLC design and craft many more pieces for my residence.”

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 Franklin County, NC, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Franklin County, NC 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 Franklin County, NC 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 Franklin County, NC 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, Franklin County, NC 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 Franklin County, NC 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?
