Featured Reviews for Architects & Building Designers in Carrollton.

Heritage Design Studio
Architects & Building Designers in Carrollton.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 November 2011
“We hired Chrisopher to design a home with an in law suite that would suit not just my family but my extended family. His ability to translate concepts/ideas/preferences/thoughts into a well though out, practical, creative home design goes above and beyond anything we could have anticipated. We are simply awed time and time again by his almost instantaneous grasp of how to redesign a space in a matter of seconds into something even better than what we had envisioned. Simply put, architectual design is in Chris' DNA and it is reflected in the beauty and creativity of the homes and floor plan designs. Should we require home design services again in the future, we would not hesitate to engage Heritage/Chris and would recommend them to anyone looking to embark on the nebulous journey of home design.”
Ellyn Amador, Architect
Architects & Building Designers in Carrollton.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 July 2017
“Complete kitchen and living area remodel as well as master bedroom addition. Ellyn's timeless design helped us gain the full potential of our 50+ year old home. We have storage, open floor plan and flow which were lacking in the original home. Her idea of open shelving in our kitchen is one of my favorite features. Skylights in the master bathroom bring in natural light while maintaining privacy.”
Firmitas Design, LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Carrollton.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 June 2013
“I am a Custom Builder in the Dallas-Ft Worth Metroplex and have worked with Mike and his team on numerous projects. They have done various size and style projects for us and have excelled at all of them. Most residnential architecture in DFW is done by desingers and not architects. The fact that Mike is an Architect is HUGE. When they provide us with a set of plans, all the details are there. It makes our job easier and gives the client a better product. I would certainly recommend Firmitas Design and will continue to use them.”

“Scott and his team are top-notch. I recommend them with great enthusiasm. Excellent design, function, creativity and beauty. Please have him connect you to me, if you have any questions. - Jacques”
SHM Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Carrollton.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 June 2013
“Our team has had the privilege of partnering with SHM on multiple projects, including several that are currently being built. The SHM team -- led by David Stocker, Mark Hoesterey and Enrique Montengro -- takes creativity to a whole new level with every house they design by never approaching two projects the same. Their ability to take in the environment surrounding a home and maximize it is remarkable, resulting in homes that showcase the properties they live on. We are quick to refer new clients to SHM because we know the high-quality of their end-product. Each architect brings a unique perspective to the projects they lead, and their team is always professional and helpful. We truly enjoy partnering with them to bring their visions to life.”

“We loved working with Farheen. She was professional, efficient, and provided excellent designs. We look forward to working with her again in the future.”
Nick Dean Architect PLLC
Architects & Building Designers in Carrollton.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 July 2018
“I hired Nick to design a kitchen remodel to my 1941 home. I showed him my ideas. Our appointment exceeded my expectations. I showed him various ideas I wanted, Nick took those and drew up exactly what I didn't envision what could be done with me kitchen. He is professional, and super creative within budget, plus sets expectations.”
Bohannon Design Team
Architects & Building Designers in Carrollton.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 May 2014
“After reviewing Direct Home Designs information on Houzz, I decided to contact Wendy. She promptly returned my call. We set up a meeting within the next couple of days to discuss new house plans. After sitting down with her and discussing my "wants" and my attempts to sketch the layout, I knew she was the perfect person to design our new home. She really listened to what we liked and didn't like. She asked questions on how our current house functioned. She brought up items we hadn't even thought about! Needless to say, our new house plans are wonderful. We will be breaking ground soon and I can't wait to post pictures so everyone can see how great Wendy's work is!”
Distinctive Dwellings - Thayne Hillrichs
Architects & Building Designers in Carrollton.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 June 2013
“Excellent architect with creative ideas yet fair and reasonable. He is very responsive. He willingly met with the builder at no extra cost to help brainstorm our plans. Very refreshing personality.”
Bob Anderson, Architect
Architects & Building Designers in Carrollton.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 February 2013
“Bob was able to draw from his extensive experience in the Dallas area to design an absolutely wonderful floor plan and exterior for our home. He took our concept for an exterior and a basic floor plan layout we liked and integrated them along with a number of other requests for special use spaces to fit our family and produced a house that will be great to live and and easy to sell when and if we decide to ever move.”

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 Carrollton, TX, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Carrollton, 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 Carrollton, 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 Carrollton, 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, Carrollton, 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.


Questions to ask prospective Carrollton, TX 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?
