Featured Reviews for Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Franklin

Fentress Architecture Workshop
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Franklin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 9, 2017
“I have chosen to work with Fentress Architecture Workshop on a number of occasions, both as a homeowner and contractor. James brings to the table a great deal of experience in both residential and commercial arenas, although my experience has been limited to residential applications. While he is fully capable of creating an independent design vision for a project, he, more importantly, has the ability to LISTEN closely to the desires of the client and allow their own vision to help drive the process. Some architects want to tell you what you want. James wants the final product to reflect your unique personality. Great architect and person.”

“Amazing! Kevin made our dream a reality. New kitchen , master bedroom, new laundry room and mud room and a friends entrance. He is incredible to work with, very attentive. Thank you so much! We love our new addition. It doesn't feel like an addition, people are amazed at our new space !!”

“Jamie designed our house for us. We sat down with her and gave her all of our wants, ideas, and budget. She sent us our house plans and got ALL of our must-haves AND wants in the home plan. We have received many compliments on the layout and flow of our home. She was very receptive to our input and ideas and was quick to respond. Thanks to Jamie for making our dreams become a reality!”
Elite Home Design, LLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Franklin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 9, 2015
“Chris developed our home plans for construction. He was creative and showed excellent skill as an architect. He delivered exactly what we were looking for, and was willing to work with our Builder to accept minor recommendations which enhanced the overall construction cost. His 3-D modeling system was very helpful to visualize just how the rooms will fit together. His pricing was fair and we are very happy customers. I would definitely work with him again.”
W. Michael Davis, Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Franklin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 12, 2018
“The first words that come to mind when describing Michael are honest and compassionate. He really was interested in designing our ‘dream home’. His knowledge and experience as an architect was invaluable. If this review included a scoring system of 1-10, he would easily score a 10. We consider Michael and his sweet wife as our newest ‘life long friends’.”

“Ty is extremely knowledgable and easy to work with. He turns floor plans, elevations and sketchup around incredibly quick and all very thorough. Would definitely recommend him for any scale project you have!”
LLG Residential Design LLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Franklin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 28, 2013
“My wife and I worked with Lisa at LLG Residential Design on an addition to our house and a renovation of our kitchen. Lisa was fantastic to work with throughout the whole process. Lisa provided a lot of help not just on the planning of the addition and kitchen but also on how to deal with the builder, codes, and even input of materials and fixtures. Our project came out much better and for less cost due to a number of recommendations we never would have thought of. One idea in particular that everyone raves about when they see it was to use wainscoting in a particular area. Not only was it a great idea and really makes the room but Lisa also had an idea for which materials to use that dramatically cut the cost. If you're thinking of a renovation, addition, or new construction you should add LLG Residential Design to your short list of planners and designers”
Scott Wilson Architect, LLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Franklin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 11, 2013
“I went to Scott after buying what should have been a tear down in Nashville's historic Belmont area. Knowing the house falls within the Historic District we knew we'd have a number of hurdles to jump to keep in their good graces while at the same time creating a showplace. We faced a number of challenges, not least of which was we had a tiny footprint, we wanted more square footage but we also wanted to respect the neighbors and not "overbuild". Scott listened to what we wanted... then turned his eye to design a house that not only exceeded expectations, but won two national awards from Qualified Remodeler! Scott Wilson Architect, LLC quite deservedly gets HIGH marks all around!!!”
CDP Architecture, LLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Franklin
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 3, 2015
“I've worked with CDP on several projects and without any reservations would recommend them. They are remarkable at translating a client's vision into a finished product that stays within the frame of constructability and the client's project resources.”

Is the scope of your home design project beyond simply replacing countertops or flooring? It’s the responsibility of a Franklin 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 Franklin, TN architectural firms and designers, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one: 

How do I find the best Franklin 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 Franklin 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 Franklin, TN 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 Franklin 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?
