Featured Reviews for Architects & Building Designers in Forest Hills.

Michael Goorevich Architect
Architects & Building Designers in Forest Hills.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 July 2015
“Michael Goorevich has a rare combination of vision, persistence, and client advocacy. Throughout the process of designing, building, and appointing our new house - and it was our first rodeo - he was able to translate complex ideas and visions into a language and image we could understand. He was able to take our unformed, disorganized ideas and produce a beautiful, modern, functional house that our young family adores. The fact that it came on both beautiful and on budget... we were very, very satisfied.”
Elite Home Design, LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Forest Hills.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 September 2015
“Chris developed our home plans for construction. He was creative and showed excellent skill as an architect. He delivered exactly what we were looking for, and was willing to work with our Builder to accept minor recommendations which enhanced the overall construction cost. His 3-D modeling system was very helpful to visualize just how the rooms will fit together. His pricing was fair and we are very happy customers. I would definitely work with him again.”

“Ty is extremely knowledgable and easy to work with. He turns floor plans, elevations and sketchup around incredibly quick and all very thorough. Would definitely recommend him for any scale project you have!”
Studio S Designs
Architects & Building Designers in Forest Hills.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars13 December 2018
“Sandi covers all bases - she is honest, flexible, amazingly easy to work with, always professional, expertly skilled, tech savvy, and an outstanding listener who also offers valuable advise and "saved the day" solutions when needed. After walking two novices through the process, she delivered final and flawless construction plans to us in mid-2016, and our custom dream home has since materialized, with stunning results. We couldn't be happier. We opted for Sandi's higher tier pricing option, and it was worth every penny. Don't let her pink-trimmed tool belt give you the impression that she's a light-weight!”

“Jamie designed our house for us. We sat down with her and gave her all of our wants, ideas, and budget. She sent us our house plans and got ALL of our must-haves AND wants in the home plan. We have received many compliments on the layout and flow of our home. She was very receptive to our input and ideas and was quick to respond. Thanks to Jamie for making our dreams become a reality!”

“We contracted a few interior renderings for a high-end residential condominium project and we were very happy with the results! Maruf was very professional, diligent and made every effort to ensure a great product and great service. Would definitely recommend them to other architecture and design professionals!”
Stephen Davis Home Designs, LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Forest Hills.
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars5 September 2015
“Stephen adapted a stock plan for our house, which we called the Fieldstream. The in-office process was focused and creative, while the follow up and plan completion was perhaps a bit less timely. Nevertheless, the result in terms of functionality, flow, and great touches like the desk nook was great.”
W. Michael Davis, Architect
Architects & Building Designers in Forest Hills.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 May 2018
“The first words that come to mind when describing Michael are honest and compassionate. He really was interested in designing our ‘dream home’. His knowledge and experience as an architect was invaluable. If this review included a scoring system of 1-10, he would easily score a 10. We consider Michael and his sweet wife as our newest ‘life long friends’.”
Clements Wimsatt Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Forest Hills.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 January 2019
“Working with Clements Wimsatt has been an absolute pleasure. I worked with them on several projects - a modern sunroom addition, two new construction homes, and a 10 unit multi-family building. I have been very satisfied with their overall work on each project and I am exceptionally happy with their attention to detail. The drawings they produce are very thoughtful and intelligible - to customers and contractors alike. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a creative, professional, and experienced architect. Five stars!”

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 Forest Hills, TN, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Forest Hills, TN 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 Forest Hills, TN 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 Forest Hills, TN 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, Forest Hills, TN 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 Forest Hills, TN 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?
