Featured Reviews for Architects in Charleston, SC

Stephen Davis Home Designs, LLC
Architects in Charleston, SC
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars5 September 2015
“Stephen adapted a stock plan for our house, which we called the Fieldstream. The in-office process was focused and creative, while the follow up and plan completion was perhaps a bit less timely. Nevertheless, the result in terms of functionality, flow, and great touches like the desk nook was great.”

“As an Architect/Builder specializing in the construction of high-end custom homes, I respect and appreciate the hard work and talent involved in designing luxury homes for discriminating clients. I am fortunate to have been selected to build three (3) of Christopher Rose Architects' designs, and remain continuously impressed by the attention to detail and professionalism of his staff and design team.

“Chris was instrumental in achieving the backyard of our new house. With his knowledge of local building codes and rules, our submittals were comprehensive, which saved us time. He is creative, thorough and responsive - all the qualities you would want in an architect.”
LaBella Associates, PC
Architects in Charleston, SC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 July 2013
“Roger and his team worked closely with my husband and me to create the home of our dreams. I had a vision for many years and they listened carefuly, made realistic and valuable suggestions, and drew my dream better than I could have dreamed it. The design for our lake waterfront lot was a happy blend of my desire for sleek, modern with the HOAs idea of contemporary. We fit in nicely with the neighborhood, but have sleek linear shapes and smooth textures. We were building on a very difficult lake front lot with extremely steep terrain and natural gulleys that held standing water. Roger and his team worked with engineers to make sure we lived "on the water, not in the water", creating a design that allowed the graders to push the natural running water around the house and down the hill rather than into the house. This gave us the wonderful opportunity to have access bridges rather than sidewalks - a unique and very eye pleasing addition. Throughout the design they kept true to my vision while helping us add the features necessary to age in place. It is a beautiful design and we will live here forever. Roger Layman Architecture made the experience enjoyable and low stress. We would recommend this team to anyone who wants to build heir dream home.”

“We hired Scott over the Internet to do designs for a second story office over our garage. He was responsive, patient, and easy to work with. His plans were easy to follow in the build. I highly recommend him.”
Spivey Architects, Inc.
Architects in Charleston, SC
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 February 2013
“Michael Spivey designed our house. Working with him was a professional and satisfying experience. His commitment to understanding our objectives and producing an outstanding product was exceptional. Having now lived in this home for over five years, we have an even greater appreciation for his ideas, creativity, guidence, and patience with us through the process. He was able to guide us, as first time home builders, through the decision process necessary to achieve a product beyond our expectations and within our budgetary limitations. A lot of give and take was necessary and difficult decisions had to be made but our appreciation of the process and the end result are affirmed daily by our own expierence of living in this home. Herchiel Sims, Jr”

Architect or Architectural Designer FAQs
An architect is a professional who designs and creates building plans, ensuring the building is functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. They collaborate with clients to understand their needs and create designs that meet their requirements. Architects also consider building codes, regulations, and sustainability principles in their designs. They may oversee the construction process to ensure it aligns with the design intent.
If you are looking at a house extension or building a new home from scratch, chances are you are going to need the help of a residential architect. They have extensive knowledge of architectural design, construction methods and building materials, not to mention a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light and flow within a property. Architects will also be far more capable of seeing the bigger picture – carefully balancing aesthetic appeal with structural safety. With their local knowledge, your 29401 architect will also often help to obtain planning permission and building regulations approval.

    After choosing a residential architect, you will usually start with a consultation to discuss the project. Preferably at your property or building site where the work will be done. Give as clear a picture as possible of the kind of home you are trying to create to your architects. Chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and feedback, together with any very specific requirements you might have. They will explain their process to you alongside any other on-site visits up to and including the build stage, depending on whether they will be involved at that stage. From there they will produce the designs and plans required for your project.
    The cost of hiring an architect in 29401 can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project, experience, reputation, and location. Architectural fees are typically structured as a percentage of the project’s total construction cost, ranging from 8% to 15%. For example, if a project has a construction cost of £500,000 and the architect’s fee is 10%, the fee would be £50,000. It’s advisable to discuss fees and payment structures with architects in 29401 during initial consultations.
