Featured Reviews for Architects & Building Designers in Sun City.

Designlink Architecture and Interiors
Architects & Building Designers in Sun City.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 August 2015
“We hired Designlink Architecture to renovate our 1980's home. Nothing has been done since it had been built, and though the bones were good, it was dark, chopped up, with very poor room flow. Debra Weisberg, Architect, removed several walls and created new spaces for laundry, kitchen and master bathroom. Debra presented her proposal in such a manner that we knew exactly what our costs were going to be. No hidden costs. At our request, Designlink assisted us with the contractor's bid analysis. She then worked with the selected contractor throughout the entire remodel. We also utilized her interior decorating abilities. We found this internal capability a bonus. She is a good listener and is able to put your thoughts to paper and design. We are very happy with the work Designlink has done and we would highly recommend them. Frank McLanis”

“I consider Fratantoni Design to be a premier architecture firm! What really drew me to them is the fact that they are a full service company. With my hectic schedule, it was such a relief knowing that all my needs could be taken care of under one roof. Fratantoni Design not only did the architecture for my home, they also built and did all the interior design work. You can see and feel how cohesively my home has come together and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome!”

Realm Architecture + Design
Architects & Building Designers in Sun City.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 October 2016
“This is our second remodel with REALM. We have used them to upsize as well as down size our homes. With both remodels, REALM was responsible for the architectural design as well as the interior furnishings. Before we started our project, we sat down with Jacques and Jackson and discussed our needs, our wants and how we live in the house. They listened to our ideas and then made suggestions. They have tremendous vision and creativity and were very sensitive to our timeframe and budget constraints. They were flexible enough to design in the field and still meet deadlines. Jacques and Jackson incorporated our old furnishings with new items and helped us achieve an intimate, sophisticated home that reflects our lifestyle and personality. We love our home inside and out!”

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 Sun City, AZ, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Sun City, AZ 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 Sun City, AZ 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 Sun City, AZ 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, Sun City, AZ 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 Sun City, AZ 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?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
  • What will I need to provide?
