My wife and I worked with the Bohannon Design Team to create house plans for the house we wanted to build on some land we had recently purchased. The entire process, from initial contact to finished plans, could not have been better. From scheduling, to feedback, to status meetings, their communication was fantastic. And our final plans: so beautiful! The house reflects our personality, has all the things we were hoping it would and many other thoughtful design choices suggested by our designer. We could not be happier with the final product and would highly recommend Bohannon Design to anyone looking to design house plans.

We highly recommend the Bohannon Design team! We are so excited with the custom home plans they designed for us. During our initial consultation they took the time to truly hear what we were looking for in our future home. They were then able to take that information and design a truly unique home that meets all of our needs. We can't thank Sarah, Ashley, Angela and Wendy enough for all of their help, patience and guidance.

The single best decision we made when facing a major renovation of a house we'd just bought, was to hire Bohannon Design Team. The house had a very weird (an understatement) layout and was closed off and did not at all fit into the way we live. We worked with Sarah Starnes and the design team, and will end up with a house that very much suits our lifestyle. Everyone at Bohannon was endlessly patient about doing adjustments to the original design until we got it just right. We were always made to feel that getting it perfect for us was the ultimate goal. It was a pleasure working with Sarah and Wendy and I would highly recommend Bohannon.

We hired the Bohannon Design Team to design our new home and could not have imagined the process any better. Sarah and Wendy were attentive, flexible and incredibly creative with including our needs and wants into the design. Anytime we had an ask of them, the answer was always “yes” followed with multiple options for how to achieve what we wanted. Ultimately, every single thing we threw at them they somehow managed to incorporate into this perfect floor plan. Even after the design was finalized, the team was more than happy to answer follow up questions, address issues and provide guidance on design/aesthetics. We simply couldn’t be happier with their work and don’t feel that anyone else could have exceeded our expectations like they did. Would 100% recommend to anyone and we have. Our parents are currently using the Bohannon Design Team for their new home and are also very impressed by their service thus far.

We hired Wendy to help us design a new home for our family. We knew what we wanted but had no idea what would work or how to make it functional. She was a great help in turning our ideas into an actual plan our contractor could use. It is as though she took beautiful scraps of cloth and turned them into a quilt. We couldn't have done this project without her help.

Direct Home Design did an excellent job on our house plans! We had an idea of how to work with an existing older home on our property, but Wendy helped us visualize those ideas on paper. With my husband being in construction, he uses plans daily in his work. This is my first time planning a home building project. With Wendy’s expertise and great ideas, now I, too, can see how our ideas will transpire into the beautiful home we want!!

Thanks so much, Lynn!! We loved working on your plan and can't wait to see the incredible transformation from the tiny old house you bought to the gorgeous new modern farmhouse. The views out on your property will be amazing... So happy for you!

I give Wendy and the Direct Home Design Team the highest recommendation for custom home plan design. The can-do attitude, professionalism, the personal communication, the attention to detail, the ability to work with our schedule, and the fact that they were truly a delight to interact with and work with makes Direct Home Design stand out as a top-notch custom home design firm! I had quite a number of very specific things I wanted to incorporate in our home along the way, and Wendy and team always treated me with the utmost respect and were able to incorporate those beautifully, in a timely manner. She also provided cost-savings suggestions and was able to do a post-bid update for us, which saved us thousands of dollars with a few additional changes from my original selections. Wendy made herself available to answer my questions via phone or email, so much so, that I didn't even realize the size of her team initially. I also worked one-on-one via phone a couple times for real-time updates with her professional and helpful staff. This is an amazing team- from Wendy, to her design staff, to her office manager! Thanks, Direct Home Design!!!

I am writing to recommend the services of the Direct Home Design and Wendy Bohannon. Currently we live in California and are planning to move to Texas soon. I have been using her for a significant remodeling effort on a newly purchased home for the past several months, and have always been completely satisfied. Wendy does an excellent job, is always punctual, and offers the most competitive rates in town. She has also made herself available on occasion by providing extra assistance with tasks such as, site inspections, meeting with contractors, and assisting in selecting flooring, appliances, color coordination, etc. These services are appreciated since we are currently in California and she is very open and communicative in supporting our project. Her services have been very reasonably priced, and always does exactly what we ask of her. I'm happy to recommend the services of Direct Home Design

Wendy is my plan designer of choice. As a general contractor specializing in building one of a kind custom homes it is important to align myself with a professional that is willing to pursue the possibilities. Wendy is flexible and void of ego so my projects have the character and uniqueness that sets my homes apart from the others. And not to mention the plans are accurate and can be built as they are drawn.

Working with Wendy and the Direct Home Design team was an excellent experience. I chose Wendy because I liked the idea of working with another woman who would be willing to listen and incorporate ALL my ideas and plan details. She did just that! I was very particular about our plan design, but needed an expert’s opinion and experience to help create the correct flow, feel and look I wanted to achieve. She accommodated all my “wants” and also helped me to achieve my desire to minimize wasted space. Wendy and her team kept me informed throughout the entire process and they were quick to respond if I contacted them, whether it be phone, text, or email. We were/are very pleased with the final product. We are excited to begin the building process this month. And if we ever build again, I will definitely have Wendy draw up our next set of plans!

Comment from Bohannon Design Team:

Thank you so much for your comments! We had that special "Wendy" connection and you were so pleasant to work with. Please call me if you have any design issues that come up during construction. Your house is going to be so open, modern, cozy and efficient, just right for you and your family! I would love some cool, modern, ranch pictures for my website when you are done.

We had the pleasure of working with Wendy during our custom home design process. Her company was very responsive to all my desires and changes. Wendy went above and beyond when it came to trying to meet my expectations! She and her assistant were able to capture my thoughts on paper. Her use of electronic media to conference on the phone and make my thoughts 2D were great and time-saving with our hectic schedules! I was truly impressed. Thank you for all of your hard work Wendy!

Worked with Wendy on a couple of projects, 5 Star all the way. She is responsive and reasonably priced. From a General Contractors point of view, Wendy was very easy to work with. She took feedback on what would and would not work, and turned it into a fantastic set of plans. We have since moved our business to Houston, and wish we could find a "Wendy" to work with here!

I worked with Wendy at length due to several required changes in the plans. She was always available, professional, and considerate in the process. I found her to be a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stagnant environment. I would, without question refer her to anyone who is looking for a professional with an attitude of making a difference in the project.

As an aspiring homeowner with a strong architectural interest, we came to Wendy with a plan in mind and sketches on paper. However, our lot demanded tight dimensioning and rearranging of the “perfect” home to fit those dimensions. Wendy took my dreams and rearranged them to fit, injected lots of design ideas to protect me from myself, and most importantly took my simple one-line drawings and converted them into a builder’s package. Wendy is very creative, energetic and willing to entertain new ideas. She is not afraid to tell you the pitfalls of your dreams and if you are willing to listen, she can meld together the best of your ideas and hers to result in functional and beautiful house plan. We have returned to Wendy many times during construction to alter our original plans for new ideas we encountered. Ultimately she did our as-built drawings, so we have accurate drawings of the house that was built.

We are so lucky to have found Wendy through Help U Build to design our home. We came to the project with an idea in our head and the sketch that looked like a five year old's and she designed a gorgeous home for us. It is so easy to work with Wendy. I became ill during the project and we were able to work over the computer and phone perfectly. She had wonderful suggestions when we hit a problem with our ideas that we could not figure out. You will be so pleased with yourselves when you choose Direct Home Design.

My wife and I wanted to renovate our home. We had a good idea of what we wanted to do but we weren't really sure if it was possible. Wendy came to our rescue. We simply sat with her in our home for a consultation then she took some measurements. Wendy immediately went to work. When we were undecided about what we wanted or unaware of all the possibilities, Wendy always had great suggestions and lots of examples to show us. The whole experience was painless. Our plans are finished!! I can't wait for her to see the finished product.

We enjoyed working with Direct Home Design very much and have even referred friends who are looking for similar services. Wendy and her team were very sensitive to our needs and wants and created a custom plan that we loved! She was able to meet our requirements and work with us on changes as we worked through the design development steps while keeping a professional manner and always assuring us that she was our support person and partner in the process.

After reviewing Direct Home Designs information on Houzz, I decided to contact Wendy. She promptly returned my call. We set up a meeting within the next couple of days to discuss new house plans. After sitting down with her and discussing my "wants" and my attempts to sketch the layout, I knew she was the perfect person to design our new home. She really listened to what we liked and didn't like. She asked questions on how our current house functioned. She brought up items we hadn't even thought about! Needless to say, our new house plans are wonderful. We will be breaking ground soon and I can't wait to post pictures so everyone can see how great Wendy's work is!
