Featured Reviews for Architects & Building Designers in Panama City.

CFH Design Studio
Architects & Building Designers in Panama City.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 March 2013
“CFH Design designed the remodel of our home on the water to bring in light and take advantage of the view, update master bath and added two walk in closets in the master bedroom. The front entrance went from dark cape style to all glass with raised ceiling very dramatic and the back enclosed porch with plastic windows into a raised ceiling to all glass sunroom looking onto the water. The contractor hired CFH Design for that job and we were very satisfied. As a result, we continue to ask for help with additional projects.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 March 2015
“Frank Greene is currently the Town Architect for the community of Rosemary Beach and is Principal Architect for his own architecture and community design firm based in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. Frank was hired as the Director of Code Compliance for the Forest Lakes Community Association Design Review Board in 2013. It has been a pleasure working with him in the development of the Forest Lakes Community. Frank is very thorough and professional in reviewing new house plans submitted for compliance with the Forest Lakes Design Code and local ordinance. I would highly recommend Frank Greene and Greene Designs as my next architect.”
TanneyDesign

Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars1 February 2015
“Mark Tanney was the architect for a remodel project on a 12 year old beach house. Mark was an excellent listener and offered good suggestions which enhanced my ideas. I was very definite about what I wanted. I worked directly with the kitchen and bath cabinet contractor, and personally picked out all of my fixtures. Mark assisted me in this process and was very responsive. The final product exceeded my expectations and I would recommend him for a remodeling project that includes kitchen, bath, outdoor living area and structural remodeling. I am not very easy to work with!”

Archiscapes
Architects & Building Designers in Panama City.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars12 May 2015
“We hired Archiscapes to design our dream beach home in Seagrove Beach, Florida. We cannot say enough about the quality of work they produced. Most architects deliver 15 to 25 pages of detail, leaving a lot to be left to interpretation between the owners and the builder. Chris Stoyles and his team produced 90 pages of detailed drawings. Others were going to produce a fraction of this detail, and for a higher price. When the build began they were with us all the way through construction, being onsite at least twice a week, and sometimes every day. I'm a perfectionist and these guys went well beyond our expectations.”
Chad Williams, CDT

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 November 2011

Architects & Building Designers in Panama City.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars15 April 2021
“Always great to work with Greg on our homes! Love his work. If you are looking for some beautiful modern/coastal plans Greg is the guy. He's worked with us on building multiple homes and we are always impressed with his plans and unique style.”

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 Panama City, FL, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Panama City, 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 Panama City, 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 Panama City, 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, Panama City, FL 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 Panama City, FL 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?
