How long does the architectural design process typically take?

Most projects require 3–6 months for design, depending on complexity. Construction timelines depend on your builder, but typically range from 10–18+ months for a custom home.

When should we reach out to an architect?

Ideally before you purchase a lot or hire a builder. Early involvement helps us evaluate site conditions, feasibility, and budget alignment—saving time and money later.

Do you help with interior architecture or collaborate with interior designers?

Yes. We frequently collaborate with top interior designers and also provide interior architectural detailing to ensure the home feels seamless from exterior to interiors.

Do you offer construction administration?

Yes. We remain involved throughout construction to ensure the design intent is executed with precision. This includes site visits, builder coordination, and reviewing key selections.

Do you handle permitting or HOA submissions?

Yes. We prepare the required drawings and assist with city permits, zoning requirements, and HOA architectural approvals, particularly important in Dallas neighborhoods.

How are your architectural fees structured?

We provide a clear, tailored proposal based on project scope, typically as a fixed fee for new construction or hourly for remodels. Our structure is designed for transparency and long-term value.

What additional costs should we expect beyond architectural fees when building a new home?

Most projects also require a survey, geotechnical report, structural engineering, and sometimes landscape architecture. We guide you through every required step so there are no surprises.

Do you incorporate sustainability or energy-efficient design principles?

Yes. We integrate smart building technologies, energy-efficient systems, and thoughtful passive strategies to support long-term performance and comfort.

Do you work throughout Dallas–Fort Worth?

Yes! We serve clients across the Dallas neighborhoods of Lakewood, Highland Park, University Park, Lake Highlands, Preston Hollow, as well as the broader area including Southlake, Rockwall, Midlothian, Haslet, North Lake and others!

Can you design for challenging sites like narrow lots, sloped sites, or floodplain areas?

Absolutely. We are experienced in site-sensitive residential design and can help you evaluate constraints and opportunities before you commit to a property.
