Featured Reviews for Architects & Building Designers in Phenix City.

TLC Design/Build LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Phenix City.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 January 2013
“Dec. 3, 2012 Dear Les, The new columns and railings look great! We had been planning to replace the columns and add handrails for quite a while but it took us forever to get to it. When I asked my daughter-in-law (who is a realtor) for a recommendation, with a moment's hesitation she recommended you. We are so glad she did. Your promptness was the first good sign, and from the first drawings to the completion of the project everything went smoothly. One other thing that really impressed my husband and me was that you always returned phone calls and emails right away, and I don't have to tell you how rare that is among contractors. Thanks for a job well done!”

“Originally, our home was designed by this firm 15 years ago; working with David Hinson was a professional and educational experience. However, we have also utilized their interior design services in ensuing years, and we have had a positive experience every time.”

“Doug designed, gutted, and rebuilt our master bath. He had great ideas for recreating the space to include the features that were important to us, including a heated tile floor. All his workers were courteous and professional, always doing quality work. Doug was very responsive to a couple of issues that came up after the project ended.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 March 2016
“Stacy and his team were great to work with. They no only designed our wrap around porch but also helped us dig up all of the historical records from our home and prepare them for submission to the historical society. His prices were very reasonable and his work was excellent. I hope to work with him again in the future!”

“I've worked with Jerry several times over the years. He's professional, thoughtful and has decades of residential and commercial experience. We just had him build several custom cedar gates and replace several panels of ornate cedar fencing that had rotted prematurely due to incorrect installation. The gates he created were well constructed and lighter than the previous ones with higher quality installation. They look like they'll last 2-3 times longer than the originals. I would highly recommend him to anyone!”

How do I find the best Phenix City, AL 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 Phenix City, AL 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 Phenix City, AL 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, Phenix City, AL architects may choose to ask their clients for a fixed fee.
