“We had a great experience with Phillip White, Laura Ayers and staff when building our new home in Manoa. They are professional, friendly, responsive to our needs as well as giving us superb ideas for the creation of our new home. They worked as a positive team, that really got along on all levels. Their working environment made us feel comfortable and welcome. We highly recommend them for any new clients/projects.”
Hawaii Island Architects, LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Keauhou.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 July 2014
“We purchased a property on the Big Island of Hawaii and wanted an architect local to that area to design our home and assist in its construction as we were not as familiar with the issues that can arise in building in that area since we live in Washington State. We have received excellent service from the firm even before we had the company on contract. We are still in the later design phases, but already have greatly benefited in the design of our home to accommodate the specific climate and other environmental issues associated with building in Hawaii. The firm has the right contacts for all the other necessary engineering and construction services that will be needed in the design, permitting and construction of our home. We find Roger Brasel (principal of the firm) to be very easy to work with. So, this review is relative to the design of our home and does not cover the construction phase.”

“As the owner builder of the Keauhou Estates Home featured in the article, I can attest to the professionalism of both Prenty Dinmore and Terry Cisco.

Bennetts Design
Architects & Building Designers in Keauhou.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 March 2016
“Brian Bennetts has been lead man on 2 construction jobs at my coffee farm, Sacred Grounds. He is an honest and fair man, easy to work with, and extremely competent. The first project was a studio/workshop, 44'x48'. It is a two story building. There were several changes made during the construction process, which Brian was able to adjust to and integrate into the overall plan. The ability to mid-stream problem solve, with foresight to the end product, is one of Brian's valuable attributes. He kept the project moving forward in a cost efficient way without sacrificing quality. He worked well in supervising, training and motivating the other guys on the job. He has an invaluable eye for safety. There were no injuries on either project. The second project was a cottage and shower room. For further information regarding Bennetts Design, I can be reached at Sacredgroundscoffeefarm.com.”
GT Design, Inc.
Architects & Building Designers in Keauhou.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 July 2012
“We have had the pleasure of working on numerous high end residential projects with Gregg Todd and his team. His easy going personality and strong leadership and organizational qualities command great loyalty from his clients and subcontractors both. GT's projects are always on time ( and usually earlier ) and on budget . His conscientious nature and attention to detail ensures a successful end result. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend GT to any client that wants a stress free - enjoyable, personable construction experience whilst building their dream Hawaiian home.”

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 Keauhou, HI, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Keauhou, HI 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 Keauhou, HI 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 Keauhou, HI 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, Keauhou, HI 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 Keauhou, HI 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?
