Kustom Home Design
Architects & Building Designers in Watts Mills.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 August 2012
“We love our new kitchen! The design was so much better than anything else we had seen. It's a perfect design and Kim was great to work with. It's amazing that even thought we took out three walls, there is more storage and counter space than before. Everything turned out better than expected. Can't say enough nice things about it.”

“Frank Bain was diligent, and thorough, in determining our architectural preferences, lifestyle interests, and vision for the property, which would influence his design plans. He patiently integrated our desires, land features, and budget considerations, to design exactly what we'd invisioned. His friendly, professional demeanor, integrity, and talent, makes it a pleasure to recommend him highly. Nelson and Colleen Dunkle”
Dullea and Associates Inc.

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 February 2013
“Working with Mark Dullea was the most pleasant experience of my entire home renovation. Mark was extremely professional in every aspect of the process. From start to finish, Mark provided all designs in a very timely manner and he stayed well within our budget. Most importantly, Mark listened to every word, always willing to adapt to changes or suggest a new way to do something. Mark's innate attention to detail further compliments his fabulous designs. The passion in his designs and his desire to please his clients are what set him apart from others.”
Arcisan, Inc.

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 August 2018
“I have hired Ben Settle at Arcisan, Inc long before he started this company. Haven't looked for another since. I have used him on so many projects that I have lost count. He is a rare find in the residential design and build world. He is extremely detail-oriented, creative, thinks outside the box and he actually understands construction and how buildings go together. Such a rare find in the design world. Just because you can dream it...doesn't mean you can build it. So having someone that understands construction makes him a great find. You know his designs will work in the real world. I highly recommend him for residential design projects.”

“We designed our new home long distance, with phone call meetings to evaluate. It was a fun experience designing and contemplating our home for retirement. Lucynda listened to what our vision was and worked together with us to achieve that vision, also making great suggestions for a few things that "work" that we didn't think of, in an attractive yet functional home we love living in.”

Upstate Home Plans

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 July 2014
“Craig Delisle of Lauren Homes bailed me out. My wife and I were building a custom home and I had ordered a house plan cd on-line so an architect could then make any changes on the computer easily, or so I thought. I hired an architect who shall remain nameless and he basically made a mess of the plan changes. I had walls going into windows, external windows did not match where the internal windows were...etc. I called Craig gave him the 5K mess and he redesigned the home to our specifications. But what was really cool about Craig's design, is that he prints out a 3d image of the house, exterior and interior. You get a hands on image of your home which is invaluable. Looking at a blue print does not give you the same impact as being inside your home before it's even built. It helps you visualize what you really want in your home. We hired Craig to build our home outside Greenville, SC. We were living in South Florida. I saw the house twice during construction. Craig sent constant communication and pictures. The home is beautiful. We recently had a problem arise (after four years) with the synthetic exterior deck, it was bowing and had an awful mildew problem. Craig went back to the installer and went to bat for us. we now have a new deck with upgraded material at a very minimal cost. I highly recommend Craig and would have absolutely no problem using him again in the future. Dave Gray”
Bo Garland Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Watts Mills.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 August 2015
“Bo listened well and was able to conceptualize what we described, and the vision we had for our home. Our house was built in the late 1940's, and it was very important that we maintained its original look. We wanted the addition to compliment the original home, as opposed to it being a glaring add on that did not speak to the period in which the house was originally constructed. His plans were detailed, and easy for our builder to follow from day one. Bo was as involved as necessary, but because he was so thorough from day 1, we had very little back and forth once the project started. We would highly recommend using Bo.”

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 Watts Mills, SC, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Watts Mills, SC 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 Watts Mills, SC 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 Watts Mills, SC 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, Watts Mills, SC 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.

  • 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)

  • 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.)
