United Architects, Inc.
Architects & Building Designers in Lakes by the Bay.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 September 2013
“United Architects exceeded my expectations in every way. The details, creativity and design excellence put into a complete remodel of my home was beyond what any other firm could have supplied. The remodel was a total renovation of 2000 sq ft walk-up/brownstone/row home type residential property with two floors. The customer service was exemplary, the work received was done quickly and efficiently. They were with me every step of the way. I highly recommend Maria Luisa Castellanos, R.A. Principle of the firm to coordinate any project you may have. Her consultation assured me I had found the right Architect and I couldn't be more pleased with her level of integrity.”

“As a General Contractor I always look at ways to make the project more efficient and have very satisfied clients. A lot of things happen to make this a reality, however, for me nothing is more important than 1) Having a well and thought-out constructions drawings, and 2) Great communication with the project consultants throughout the entire process. We have worked closely with Reines & Straz and they accomplished that. They are responsive on all RFI's, construction drawings are clear and practical, and the team is great! I fully recommend them.”

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.

How do I find the best Lakes by the Bay, FL 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 Lakes by the Bay, FL 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 Lakes by the Bay, FL 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, Lakes by the Bay, FL architects may choose to ask their clients for a fixed fee.
