Featured Reviews for House Plan Companies in Chicago

Allegretti Architects, Inc.
House Plan Companies in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 28, 2013
“We interviewed 3 architects and chose John Allegretti based on his previous work and enthusiasm for our specific project. We wanted to go from a 1-1/2 story, 2 bedroom, 1-1/2 bath to something more. Our lot size is 33 x 132 ft. which isn't much to work with. Our location on lake Michigan's Silver Beach is extremely desirable but our home was not allowing us to take full advantage of available views. John created a full second story complete with a master suite (bedroom, bath and living area) and walk out second floor deck. This deck offers privacy and another beach view perspective. We now have expansive views throughout our home. (John used glass railings throughout.) We ended up with a more spacious home than we had envisioned. John also presented our project to the local planning commission (we needed variances), and remained engaged throughout the project which was a big help to us. We would work with John Allegretti and his associates again.”

“It has been great to work with Shabbir Chandabhai at Burhani Design. He has designed and executed on two buildings we own in Chicago, coming up with a design that enhanced the rental units in the properties. Management of the construction and renovation was great as well. Would highly recommend this company.”

Stuart Cohen & Julie Hacker Architects LLC
House Plan Companies in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 26, 2012
“We have had the privilege of working with the visionary team of Stuart Cohen and Julie Hacker Architects on several projects throughout our twenty year relationship. They have the keen ability to listen to our needs and concerns and interpret what we are trying to say. Their design process focuses on communication and involvement while adhering to designing a project that both preserves the old and creates new that is indistinguishable from the old. Stuart and Julie create architectural details that distinguish them as masters in the field of architecture, reflecting their passion for beauty and knowledge of best practices. Our projects have been quite diverse and this team proves to be visionary in every situation, from a renovation of a multimillion dollar city penthouse, to a country home addition and a suburban french style three story total home renovation. Stuart and Julie exhibit a standard of excellence that is uncompromising.”
Jason Meyering Architecture
House Plan Companies in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 13, 2018
“I have worked with Jason for the past 10 years on a wide variety of projects and he is an incredible architect! He has the perfect balance of design ingenuity and technical savvy that many design professionals lack. His strengths lie in his ability to creatively solve complex design issues and develop clever solutions that are beautiful and timeless. Beyond that, Jason is the hardest working architect I have ever known. He will work night and day to achieve the optimal design solution aesthetically, while adhering to time frame, build-ability and budget. Don't think twice and hire Jason.”
Turn Collaborative
House Plan Companies in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 19, 2014
“As a designer, I was able to work with Paul Benigno from Turn Collaborative on a complete gut rehab of an 1880's home on a double lot in a landmark district in Chicago. Paul was great to work with from every facet - creative and thoughtful, with a broad and deep knowledge of construction. I highly recommend working with him and hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the near future!”
Jaffe Architecture + Interiors
House Plan Companies in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 1, 2015
“My husband and I had a great experience with JAG. Before we moved out of our old house, Ms. Jaffe and her assistant Ms. Lindsey visited, looked around, measured our furniture and discussed what we liked and didn't like about the house. They took copious notes and very obviously incorporated the information into the plans for our new house. We told them a few things - we wanted it to be contemporary, have a southeast facing kitchen and a wine room, and listed the other rooms we wanted. They built on this to create a masterpiece that we love coming home to every day! Ms. Jaffe is very creative and has a keen eye for decorating. Ms. Lindsey has every detail on paper and in her head, so that there were almost no surprises while the house was being built. Ms. Jaffe put in a lot of beautiful architectural features that we would not have imagined, such as a skylight and multi-surfaced walls, guided us when our ideas were bad, and followed our wishes when our tastes differed from hers. Ms. Lindsey made sure that all the details were perfect, such as making sure that the shelves behind our cabinet-door mounted spice racks are shorter than the other shelves, so the doors can close with the racks on them. They also helped with interior design, with the same attention to detail. JAG also has a great office staff that was able to keep us updated when Ms. Jaffe and Ms. Lindsey were not immediately available. We think this firm's fees are probably higher than average, but worth it. All in all, a very positive experience.”
Michael Menn Ltd.
House Plan Companies in Chicago
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 31, 2013
“Michael Menn designed and constructed with the help of his experienced pool of subcontractors the kitchen of my dreams in an older home that I love for both its tradition and its memories. It is a pleasure for me to come down in the morning to a space so much in keeping with the style of our home and offering me at the same time all that is in modo contemporary for the our time. Michael Menn is a gentleman who honors his word amd his contractural agreements. He was always available to me and responded promptly to any and all concerns or questions that I may have had. Michael is in addition someone with whom one could easily make a lasting friendship. I would not hesitiate for a minute to recommend him to others nor to contact him for any future projects that I had in mind.”

Architect or Building Designer FAQs
The duration of a project can vary significantly based on complexity, size, and customization level. On average, creating a custom house plan can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. Itʼs essential to discuss timelines with your chosen company early in the process to align expectations.
Material selection and design trends significantly impact the sustainability, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal of your home. A reputable House Plan Company will guide you through selecting materials that align with your design preferences, budget, and the latest trends, ensuring a balance between style and functionality.
Before meeting with a House Plan Company, homeowners should compile a list of needs and wants for their new home, including the number of rooms, general layout preferences, and any specific features or styles they envision. Itʼs also helpful to establish a budget and collect images or plans that inspire you. Having this information ready will streamline the design process and ensure your visions are clearly communicated.
Open communication and setting clear expectations from the start are crucial to overcoming challenges. Select a House Plan Company that has a proven track record of effectively managing issues such as design changes, budget constraints, and navigating permits and regulations.
Examine their portfolio for diversity in design, innovation, and attention to detail. Look for projects similar in style or size to what you envision. Quality portfolios should also reflect the companyʼs ability to incorporate current design trends while adhering to functional requirements.
While some House Plan Companies offer construction management services or have partnerships with builders, others focus solely on the design phase. Itʼs important to discuss your needs and see if they can assist in the construction phase or recommend reputable builders who have experience with their plans
