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

Willis-Wright Design Group
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Helen
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 2, 2019
“I've personally worked with Robert(Bob) on a few projects now and can say he's a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable. He has provided detailed drawings and 3D renderings for myself and clients. His work is top notch. I've recommended him multiple time and won't hesitate to do it again. Bill Hughes Blue Ridge Custom Builders”
Joe Duket Studio LLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Helen
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 25, 2018
“This past summer we decided to remodel our kitchen using the existing footprint to reduce costs. We were going to do the project design ourselves, but heard about JDS through local contractors and decided to retain Joe Duket based on what we heard about his work. We are very glad we did. Joe was far more creative not only with products but with space and design. He envisioned things we did not, from electrical and plumbing fixtures to cabinets and countertops and were able to see everything before it was done using his computerized model. Highly recommended!”

“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 had a fantastic experience with Tyler from the first moment I spoke to him, I could not have imagined a better designer. Every time I had an idea that didn’t make any sense at all he would do it. Anyways, he would also do a second drawing of what he thinks would work. In every case he was right. Thank you, Tyler.”

“We couldn’t be more pleased with our new home... it’s truly a work of art!

Garrell Associates, Incorporated

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 1, 2014
“I worked with Garrell and Associates while working at a local Golf Course Community of high-end homes, and truly cannot say enough about their architectural designs. The Amicalola was built in the community and it is a stunning home. Quite frankly, this is my dream home, with lots of open space both indoors and outdoors, beautiful kitchen, decks, vaulted ceilings, great bath and so, so much more. Other design plans provided by this team are extraordinary and so versatile. They will work with you to find the right fit for your needs. I personally know the Garrell Brothers and they are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. I highly recommend them to help you design your dream home.”
ARCON Architects & Builders, LLC
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Helen
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 10, 2012
“Arcon Architects & Builders designed and built our wonderful house on Lake Keowee in Seneca South Carolina. Their professional expertise coupled with years of practical experience ensured the house not only met our family's needs but was built on time and within budget. By carefully assessing the building site Arcon ensured the house afforded great lake views from every room while minimizing the need to remove mature hardwood trees that I so love. They coupled the site plan with wonderful architectural features like 3 foot overhangs to minimize afternoon sun and allow the windows to stay open even during the rain ! In addition the cantilevered deck affords a sense of "floating over the lake" while maximizing the views from the lower level rooms. Oh .. and did I mention the screen porch and stone fireplace, the barrel vaulted front entry, the beams and massive stone fireplace in the great room .. and and and ! They just did a great job for us !”
GFD Architectural Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in Helen
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 7, 2014
“After many hours of research in finding the perfect company to draw up my dream home vision from scratch, I found GFD Architectural design. As an interior designer/home stager I know more than the average consumer about design and some aspects of build, so any fluff talk or misleading information wouldn't get by me :) During our initial conversation over the phone, I was immediately impressed with the warm professionalism that the company owner/lead designer Frank Dollar displayed. He obviously was an expert in his field. Throughout the project he worked diligently and promptly, making sure that I was fully aware of the aspects of each stage in the design process. Not to mention his knowledge of carpentry and building came in handy when deciding on design options that could have proven to be more costly during construction. I highly recommend Frank Dollar and GFD design to all those seeking a professional, personable and creative architectural designer and consultant. Love Love and will post pictures when the project is complete!”

“I had Jason and his team at Studio Ten draw up some plans for an addition on my parents house. They were attentive to the details given, and eager to execute. I highly recommend their service to anyone in need of such services.”

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

How do I find the best Helen architect for my home design project?


It is best to hire a home architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. The architect is often the first person you will hire for your project. If necessary, they might also help you select and hire Georgia subcontractors, which can include the builders, engineers and landscaper. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the Helen 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 architecture firms in Helen, GA 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.

What sort of process can I expect from a residential architect?


As far as the process goes, the architecture firm or individual that you choose will start with concept drawings and finish with construction drawings and documents. Some firms even design with 3D renderings and videos, but that should not be assumed. There should be plenty of meetings between you and your building designer until you have agreed upon a design that you are completely happy with. Always keep in mind that the designer will have building codes to follow, and likely pre-existing design limitations when dealing with a remodel, so while they might not be able to execute your exact ideas they always have your safety and aesthetics in mind. One of the most important duties of a residential architect is to serve as managers and supervise most aspects of construction, as well as facilitate communication between all other contractors, so you can expect them to be present throughout the entire building process to ensure everything is executed as planned.

It is very important to hire the right professional for the job. Remember that the most well-known or established designer might not provide the best architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project. Research and ask people whose work you like for recommendations. It's important to have somewhat of an idea of the style of house architecture that you prefer, as well as the amount you would like to spend. Residential architects in Helen, GA are natural problem solvers. They will assess the entire situation and help you to solve your problems too. Don't settle for a single company too early. Call and interview a few. Make sure that you feel like your personalities will mesh well and that you like their professional perspective.

Questions to ask prospective Helen 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?
