Featured Reviews for Architects & Building Designers in Dallas County.

Taproot Studio
Architects & Building Designers in Dallas County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 October 2017
“We asked Blake to consider turning our tired and well worn lake house into a home we would be proud of and enjoy going to once again. Blake brought us into the present day look of a lovely family house on the water. We rearranged rooms, moved doorways, took down walls and installed a fabulous wall of windows looking out on the lake. He heard us when we described our ideal house and blended his knowledge and creative experience and gave us the absolute perfect lake home. The kitchen, the open den, the bathrooms and the back porch all have the improvements needed with functionality and beauty. We just couldn’t be happier with our new look.”

“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!”

Symmetry Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Dallas County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 July 2012
“We can easily give the highest rating for Clint Pearson with Symmetry Architects as we are ecstatic about the design of our new home! Being neophytes to building a new home, we did not initially understand how Symmetry’s role would integrate with our builder. But Clint listened to our vague ideas of what we wanted (large wine cellar, sport court, minimal hallways, outdoor kitchen, living areas, anticipated layout of existing furniture, split bedrooms, etc.) and created a layout that far exceeded our expectations. For example, he designed a small courtyard with fire pit that we are using constantly. He added groin vaults that add a very dramatic touch to our entry and master with minimal cost. He went room-by-room to design ceilings to meet that room’s personality. His breadth of home design is apparent as the “little details” were addressed. Symmetry worked exceptionally well with our builder. We have now been in our home for several months and we are very much “living” in it. Much of the credit goes to Clint and Symmetry!”

“Matthew did a great job helping us remodel our house. He did a fantastic job on the sketches and designs for us. Drew up exactly what we were envisioning. He also did an excellent job communicating not only the "how's" of the designs but the "why's". He helped overcome some unforeseen challenges in the process of the remodel with excellent results and worked well with the contractor to make sure the design met the finished product.”

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.”
O'Brien Custom Home Designs
Architects & Building Designers in Dallas County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 November 2014
“We hired O'Brien to help us design our dream home in the country. We met with him (On the build site 170 miles from his office) and described exactly what we wanted...shape, size, floor plan layout. When he came back to us the layout was almost exactly opposite of what we asked for and you know what??? THANK YOU!!! Anyone we worked with could have done exactly what we asked for but Dave knew what we really wanted by listening to us describe our vision of the house. He's been GREAT to work with on making sure that we are happy with the results. We've built four other houses previous to this one and I can tell you he knows not only how to draw plans but also the business. Great ideas on how to save $$$ also. He's the real deal for sure.”

“I recently used Chase Corker with Corker Designs for my personal residence. Chase Corker worked closely with me and my wife throughout the entire project.

“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.”

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

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