Featured Reviews for Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Emerald Isle

Dawn Christine, Architect PLLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Emerald Isle
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 24, 2015
“Her work is simply breath taking. A true professional in all areas. I am blown away with her hard work and passion. GREAT JOB DAWN.”
S.M. Monette Designs / Emerald Isle Design Group
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Emerald Isle
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 18, 2016
“We began our search for a home design by browsing multiple websites and just could not find a plan that bests suited our needs. We were referred to SM Monette Designs by our builder, Greg Hall of Ace Builders, and couldn't have been more pleased with the design work and collaboration that we received. Our lot had a very restrictive building envelope which made our project quite a bit more complicated than most jobs in the area. Susan was very flexible when it came to our requests and she gave us welcomed advice with regard to modifications that would provide the best possible product based on our requirements. The quoted costs were accurate and stayed right on budget. Susan was always very responsive to our email and phone calls so I would give her a top rating with regard to her customer service. The coordination between her, our builder, and the engineers were seamless. We would highly recommend SM Monette Designs for any home building project and should we ever have another we would definitely send the work her way.”
GO Architectural Design, PLLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Emerald Isle
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 5, 2014
“Go Architects are a pleasure to work with. Sara, was always able to meet our schedule, participate in meetings, and easy to consult with or see her in the office. All architectural drawings were emailed as PDF files and backed up with full scale drawings we could use on the job. Questions were addressed promptly. We hired Go architects because of their experience with historic construction and a modern perspective and concern for our needs. Go Architects does quality work, and is growing. I highly recommend them. Not only am I the home owner, I have been in the construction business for many years, and they have been a real pleasure to work with.”
Southern Cottages
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Emerald Isle
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 6, 2015
“After putting together our wish list and considering designing our house ourselves, my wife and I did some looking and decided to purchase plans for the Island Cottage from Southern Cottages. This design had all the features we wanted. We are self-building not contracting the construction. Construction is not my profession. I was sure I'd have to do a lot of research to get it right. The quality and accuracy of the plans have sure made it easier than I expected. The design went through the permitting process without a hitch. (The building official even commented on how the plans facilitated his review.) As for customer service, I can't say enough about the positive experience I've had. I thought that once I had the plans in hand that would be the last interaction I'd have with the architect. Not so. Mike and his staff have kept in touch with me, and I with them. When a couple of questions came up that I thought would be best answered by them, I sent an email. Within a short time, I got the answers I needed. The main house is now framed in, and we're ready to start the wrap-around porch. Overall, I've found our experience with Southern Cottages to be exceptional and the plans were a great value for the price.”

Is the scope of your home design project beyond simply replacing countertops or flooring? It’s the responsibility of an Emerald Isle home architect to transform human needs and desires into visual concepts and habitable structures. When you hire an architectural designer, you are not only hiring someone for their architectural services, but also to manage and coordinate other parties involved in the project. As you search through local Emerald Isle, NC architectural firms and designers, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one: 

How do I find the best Emerald Isle residential design architect for my project?


It is best to hire a residential architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. They are often the first person you will hire for your project, and it's common for architects' contractors, or subcontractors, to prefer working with one another, which means better relationships and smoother work on your home. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants, from builders, to engineers and even landscapers. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the Emerald Isle 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. Different residential architecture firms in Emerald Isle, NC provide different services, so the scope of the work can span from pre-design environmental impact studies to selecting furniture and finishes, depending on what your specific needs are.

Questions to ask prospective Emerald Isle interior architects:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Do you have professional liability insurance?
  • Can you handle my special requests (ADA, LEED etc.)?
  • 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 a general contractor and subcontractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
