Featured Reviews for Architects & Building Designers in Fort Walton Beach.

Daniel M Martin, Architect LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Fort Walton Beach.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars17 August 2012
“Daniel Martin designed a deck that spanned the back of our house. The deck included planters, seating, multiple levels, lighting and access from the front of the house. I would describe Danny's designs as understated--a cross between Frank Lloyd Wright and the mission style. The deck was designed for heavy entertaining. He was very focused on designing the deck to fit our needs. Danny even considered natural light and the positioning of the sun on the deck throughout the day as well as designing for privacy. Danny was always open to our feedback and we made several adjustments throughout the project. I would definitely recommend Danny and would definitely hire him again He is a true professional and cared deeply about meeting our needs.”

“I was the interior designer on a Geoff Chick house in Watercolor. What a pleasure to work with true professionals. Geoff designs a beautiful, functional house and pays attention to the details. Proportions were true, character was added and space planning was appropriate. I can't wait to work with him again! Cindy E Barganier”
Ian N Wright Architect
Architects & Building Designers in Fort Walton Beach.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 June 2015
“Ian is both knowledgeable and imaginative. He combines his ability to think outside the box in his designs with good listening skills to help create a unique home that is within the vision of the customer. Of all of the architects I've worked with over the years, Ian is by far my favorite.”
Archiscapes
Architects & Building Designers in Fort Walton Beach.
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.”
Greene Design LLC
Architects & Building Designers in Fort Walton Beach.
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.”

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 Fort Walton Beach, FL 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 Fort Walton Beach, FL:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?

  • your vision.)
