Designing with the Build in Mind Our mission is to guide your custom home design from the first sketch to the final inspection. By integrating professional architectural services with a comprehensive design-to-build approach, we ensure your dream home is optimized for both beauty and the actual cost of construction. Whether you are working with a North Georgia builder or planning to build your own home as an owner-builder, our two-phase process provides the roadmap for a successful build in North Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, or North Carolina.
Phase One - Custom Home Design
We collaborate closely with you to translate your vision into a unique residential architecture concept. During this phase, we refine every detail of your custom home, ensuring the design aligns with your lifestyle and the specific requirements of your building site.
Phase Two - Construction Documentation
We transform your approved design into a complete, code-compliant set of documents required for a building permit. This phase is designed to support your home builder or North Georgia builder with the technical precision needed to execute the build with confidence, ensuring a seamless transition from blueprints to a finished custom home.
Transparent Pricing for Professional Design Services
We believe in clear, upfront communication regarding the investment required for elite residential architecture. Our architectural services for a fully custom home start at $16,000. This all-inclusive fee ensures your custom home design is supported from the initial site planning through to the final construction documents.
By integrating a design-to-build philosophy into our pricing, we provide more than just drawings—we provide the technical roadmap your home builder needs to accurately estimate the cost of construction. Our standard package is specifically designed to help you navigate contractor selection or support an owner-builder journey in North Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, or North Carolina.
Included in our fixed-fee custom home design package:
Initial Site Planning & Concept Design: Tailoring your dream home to the local terrain.
Developed Design & Construction Detailing: High-precision plans that meet strict building codes.
Tendering Support: Expert guidance in finding the right North Georgia builder or regional contractor.
For specialized projects or unique consulting needs, we can also tailor our architectural services on an hourly basis to fit your specific project scope.
Our Design-to-Build Guarantee
We are so confident in our architectural services that we provide a full guarantee: if our two-phase design-to-build process does not lead to a building permit for your custom home, we will refund your design fees in full. We understand that the transition from a custom home design to an active construction site can be complex, especially when managing the cost of construction or coordinating with a North Georgia builder. This guarantee ensures that whether you are an owner-builder or working with a professional home builder, your residential architecture is engineered for approval and ready to become your dream home in North Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, or North Carolina.
