Charles W Day Design
Architects & Building Designers in Saint Simons Island.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 July 2021

DesignHouse SSI, LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Saint Simons Island.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 February 2019
“Brian brings a deep understanding of the classical Beaux Arts architecture and detailing of Stanford White & Co., tempered with the softness of the South and the breeziness of the Coast, for well-proportioned and thoughtfully appointed structures that are stylish, elegant, tasteful and most importantly, appropriate, both inside and out.”
Rice Architect, LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Saint Simons Island.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars7 August 2014
“Rice Architect designed our home in north Florida over 4 years ago. We started, quite literally, on the back of an envelope, with only general ideas about what we wanted. The project was further complicated because we lived many hours away, and had to rely on phone calls and visits. Rice Architects earned our trust immediately, through their open and frequent communication, willingness to listen and, above all, their ability to translate our often-vague thoughts into a beautiful and livable home. We often tell people that even four years later we would change nothing more than the placement of a few odd electrical outlets. We love our home and we recommend Rice Architects wholeheartedly.”
Darby W Mccloskey Architect
Architects & Building Designers in Saint Simons Island.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 April 2015
“Darby designed a beach cottage for us in 2013, and he did a phenomenal job. He provided a 1940's cottage appearance while incorporating current technical requirements and modern conveniences. We were so pleased with his work that we asked him in 2014 to design a master closet addition and a guest cottage at our primary residence location.”
Kevin M. Higgins, Architect. P.C.
Architects & Building Designers in Saint Simons Island.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 February 2017
“I am a general contractor and hired Kevin to provide design build services for a project by Benchmark Family Services. The project was to completely renovate an existing 30,000 SFT. office building with kitchen and auditorium. The project was finished on schedule and within the owners budget. Because of the owners satisfaction, a bonus was paid after completion of the project. Kevin did a wonderful job, was always on schedule, communicated well with both the owner and myself. He also had a very reasonable proposal for his services. I would recommend Kevin for any of your commercial or residential AIA services.”

“Steve of SDS Design has remodeled almost our entire home over the past four years. We are thrilled with all that he has done. He has a great easy going style, is very responsive to requests, can whip out a creative drawing as you talk to him about what you are envisioning. He has remodeled our kitchen, living/dining room, and both bathrooms and they are all beautifully done. He gets an A in our book.”
Rowley and Associates
Architects & Building Designers in Saint Simons Island.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 August 2015
“We hired Mr. Rowley to help us design our custom house and walk us thru the process of selecting a builder. In anticipation of our first meeting with him, we sent him a package of magazine clippings as well as a letter outlining the general ideas we had for the house. During a vacation in the area, we had 2 face to face meetings with him; and before we returned north, he presented us with an initial draft plan. Most of the subsequent work was done remotely. When time came to select a builder, his guidance was priceless. Communication between us and Mr. Rowley was easy: he understood our vision, paid particular attention to details, and was of sound advice. We would gladly recommend him.”

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 Saint Simons Island, GA, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Saint Simons Island, 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 Saint Simons Island, 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 Saint Simons Island, 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, Saint Simons Island, 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.
