    “Lori is the best! She has such a good eye for transformation. My room functions better and looks like a million bucks. Lori is very budget minded and was able to provide a superior product at an economical price. Each morning I get up and look at the fabulous bathroom she designed for us and say - "Thank you, Lori!"”

    “I have personally worked with We Plan Homes for over 8 years. They have a willingness to work with their builder clients whom are looking for that little something special in their home plans. The staff at We Plan Homes are lovely to work with. You should make your next plan a We Plan Homes experience!”

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 15, 2017
    “I absolutely LOVED AG & Associates! Rashid is smart and kind. I know that might not seem important but when you are building your dream home it is because the whole process can be very daunting. Rashid LISTENED and took all of our thoughts and ideas to heart. He even went out to our sight and sat there to get a "feel" for our eventual home. He did this because we purchased an older lake home and needed to add on space (2 guest rooms and a large master suite). It was important to blend the old with the new and make it look like the new had always been there...it was very important that it did not look like an addition. He also redesigned the interior space of the old and added a wonderful outdoor space as well. Rashid did all this while staying within our budget (not drawing an over-the-top place that we would fall in love with but never be able to afford). Equally as important is his timely responses to questions and his timely delivery of the plans. We were within a very tight time frame and Rashid delivered. I cannot speak highly enough of AG & Associates. You WILL NOT be disappointed.”

    “S. Diane Johnson Photography photographed the finished project for Anne Sciarrone Architecture, LLC. Anne's work is beautiful and she is a very strong professional. I have worked with her on other projects and each time has been a delight.”
    Hagan Architects, Inc.
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Buford
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 8, 2014
    “Tim Hagan took the smoldering remains of our burnt house and created something beautiful out of the ashes. He didn't flinch when he saw what little we had to work with, and, in a stress-filled year, managed to gently mold a beautiful house out of ashes and water. My assessment of Hagan Architects: totally professional, deeply caring, amazingly talented, delightfully innovative.”

    “It is so hard for me to visualize what exterior updates would look like on my house. We have a home built in the 60s and have slowly started changing things. To have Brick & Batten be able to show you visually what different updates would look like is SO helpful! They do such a great job!”

    Robert M. Cain, Architect
    Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Buford
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 26, 2013
    “Robert M. Cain was the architect for my home, completed in 2009. Photos are elsewhere on this site. Robert M. Cain (Bob) is a brilliant designer and superlative master of construction oversight. As the project began, he listened carefully to us and perfectly and seamlessly incorporated our desires into the house. The building is both beautiful and extremely comfortable. It is a LEED Platinum Home. It has many high performance features such as solar panels and geothermal heat pumps. Passive solar concepts are inherent in the design and allow us the be comfortable much of the year without heating or air conditioning. It has many windows and feels like it is in a forest, although the location is urban. It is a calm and cheerful house. Working with Bob and his staff was a completely delightful experience; it was satisfying in every way. Mary B.”

It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the Buford residential architect you hire.
