Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers Near Little Rock

“I knew I loved Herron/Horton's clean, modern work from pictures, but I also knew I couldn't afford the full-blown services of an architect in our recent remodel. Jennifer was willing to come out and give us a one hour Design Consult, only charging an hour's rate. While we didn't have a drawing to show our contractor, we did have lots of good ideas and a list of products and people to pull from. They really got our job off to a great start.”

“Bret Franks built a beautiful home for us in Chenal neighborhood. We had moved from out of state and were living in an apartment while we looked at pre-owned homes. Not finding what we wanted in a pre-owned home we decided to investigate building our own. We did not have any experience in building a home and were accordingly nervous because we had heard this could be stressful and possibly problem filled. We first met Bret because he owned the lot we were interested in. Bret then showed us a few other neighborhoods and some houses he had built previously and some that were in progress. We loved the work Bret did, his obvious experience and the quality we were seeing and decided to both buy the lot from Bret and have him build us our custom designed home. Bret then introduced us to his wife Jen who would coordinate all of the selections we need to make (colors, designs, cabinets etc..) and coordinate the finances and approvals. Bret helped us get a designer who made the architectural drawings as well. We then proceeded with the construction phase. Bret was a true professional who is very hands on with the building process. He hires quality sub contractors and manages this closely every step of the way. He always took time to clearly explain a process and answer any questions we had. Jen was patient with us, provided options for us and helped us make choices when we asked. Both Bret and Jen clearly documented every detail of the house, the selections, the costs etc... There was a clear and organized approval process every step of they way and they helped us stay on budget. The house was easy to stay within budget because Bret and Jen took the time upfront to understand our desires and quoted the project accordingly. When we would go to make choices we would find we had ample allowances to get what we wanted in quality and looks. We have now been in the house almost 3 years and only called Bret 2 or 3 times after we moved in. All our calls were answered immediately and Bret would send someone over to take care of the issue. I can write all day about how much of a pleasure this was building a home and working with Jen and Bret, and how pleased we are with the final outcome. We LOVE our home and I wouldn't ever have any one else build another one than the Franks.”
