DesignGroup 692
Architects & Building Designers in South Padre Island.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 October 2012
“I hired DesignGroup 692 for the design and construction of my new home. Roberto Valencia was highly recommended by several people and i appreciated his modern thought process and his concern for the environment and energy conservation. He is extremely knowledgable and when unfamiliar with a certain method, he has been very resourceful in finding a solution. DesignGroup 692, employees and subcontractors have maintained a high level of professionalism and have followed through with their committment in a timely and effective manner. I was amazed to see 10 to 15 workers at the job site on a daily basis! I have been very impressed with DesignGroup 692 since the start of the project and am sure i will continue to be impressed right through to the finish.”

Their eye for color was excellent-the shutters matched the color of the wood on my furniture. Just beautiful-huge thumbs up!”

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.

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 South Padre Island, TX, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best South Padre Island, 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 South Padre Island, 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 South Padre Island, 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, South Padre Island, 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.

  • Who will be working on my project? (This is very important if you hire an architectural firm)

  • Can you handle my special requests?
  • What is your experience with similar projects/ architectural design and style?

  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?

  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with your vision.)
