Dallas has so many talented residential architects. The hard part is knowing which one is right for your site, your budget, and the home you are trying to build.

Choosing a residential architect in Dallas
What does a residential architect do?
A residential architect designs both the structure and the experience of a home: how it sits on the land, how the rooms flow, how light moves through the day, and how it is built to last. They produce the drawings your builder works from and often stay involved through construction. On a new build or a significant remodel, the architect is usually the first professional you hire.
How much does an architect cost in Dallas?
Most residential architects charge either a percentage of the construction cost or a fixed fee based on the scope and size of the project. Every architect's page on Design List Dallas describes how they typically work and the kinds of projects they take, so you can find a fit before you reach out. Projects range from a focused addition to a full custom home.
Do I need an architect or a builder first?
For anything structural, a new build, or a significant addition, start with an architect to shape the design, then bring in a builder to price and construct it. Some firms offer design and build together. Several architects on this list collaborate closely with builders, and if you are unsure where to start, tell us about your project and we will guide you.
How do I choose the right architect?
Look for an architect whose past work speaks to you, whose fee structure fits your budget, and who communicates in a way that puts you at ease, because you will work together for a long time. Every architect here has been personally reviewed, and if you would rather not compare them all yourself, we will match you to the ones who suit your project.
