“Jennie designed an architectural "facelift" for the front of our house, which transformed it from a boring dated split-level ranch to a beautiful multi-level craftsman. She listened to all of our needs, and implemented every design element we wanted. To this day, I continue to receive many complements on the redesign, along with requests for her information! We could not be happier with the results!!!”

Rickey Wright Home Design
Architects & Building Designers in Etowah County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 March 2014
“Signature Homes is based in Birmingham, Alabama with offices in Nashville, Tennessee and Huntsville, Alabama. We’ve built more than 30 communities across the southeast, places that more than 3,000 families and individuals now call home. Our guiding principles are adaptability, integrity, quality, excellence, and community. With this in mind, when it comes to our home plans - only the best will do. As manager of the architectural department, I have hired Mr. Wright on many occasions and will continue to do so to help us with our production needs in creating and maintaining the designs and documents we send out the field for purposes of constructing our homes. Mr. Wright is a capable and consummate professional in the way he approaches every design challenge. His construction documents (blueprints) are of a very high quality and exceed industry standards for clarity and ease of use in the field. It is without reservation that I recommend his services to any who might be considering his services. Jeff Montgomery Signature Homes”

“Byron is a highly talented architect! he was able to take the ideas I gave him for my house and deliver renderings that exceeded my expectations. He appears to have a lot of demand for his time, as most good architects right now, but when we do communicate he is fully engaged in my project.”
Skinner Designs
Architects & Building Designers in Etowah County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 July 2015
“We met with two plan designers before meeting with Mr. Skinner. After just a few minutes with him, we knew we had found the one that would design our home. He took my ideas from a few things I had on paper and in a couple of days we had our design. He saw our vision very well and made use of every inch of space. I had some unusual things, one being a middle of the room fireplace, and he made it work so well while also merging the two different styles of my husband and myself. There was no "We can have these to you in a month or so", it was less than 1 week! We are now about 4 weeks to move in day and I couldn't be happier with our new home. Thank you, Mr. Skinner!”

An architect or building designer in Etowah County, AL can transform your needs and desires into a visual concept and habitable structure. They will help you determine what is possible in terms of your land and the budget you have, and then work with you to plan a home design that best caters to your lifestyle.

Architects and building designers have an extensive knowledge of architectural designs and trends, as well as construction methods and building materials, and are well versed in seeing the ‘bigger picture’. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, their scope of work can span project management and sustainable design for your renovation, to the selection of furniture and finishes. So whether you’re building from scratch, adding an extension or renovating your Etowah County, AL home, engage an architect or building designer to make your dream home a reality.

How do I find the best architect for my home design project?


It is best to hire a home architect or building designer who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. The architect is often the first person you will hire for your project. If necessary, they might also help you select and hire Etowah County, AL general contractors, which can include builders, engineers and landscape architects. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the residential architect you hire. He or she can be the tie-breaking vote between you and the general contractor and can be your biggest advocate during the construction process.

As far as the process goes, the architecture firm that you choose will start with concept drawings and finish with construction drawings and documents. Some firms even design with 3D renderings and videos, but that should not be assumed. One of the most important duties of an architect is project management – that is, to serve as managers and supervise most aspects of construction, as well as facilitate communication between all other contractors.

It is very important to hire the right professional for the job. Remember that the most well-known or established architect or building designer might not provide the best architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project. Research and ask people whose work you like for recommendations. It's important to have an idea of the style of architecture you prefer, as well as the amount you would like to spend. Architects are natural problem solvers. They will assess the entire situation and help you to solve your problems too. Don't settle for a single company too early. Call and interview a few. Make sure that you feel like your personalities will mesh well and that you like their professional perspective.

Questions to ask prospective architects and building designers in Etowah County, AL:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Do you have professional liability insurance?
  • What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • 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 general contractors and renovation contractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
