Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 January 2016
“MSA San Antonio, provided architectural services for my new home. They are a very capable provider. I have 20 years experience as a custom home builder, but this was my first experience with MSA. The pre-plan meetings with my family were very well handled. The final product and followup was very professional. I couldn't be happier with the home.”

“I have worked with Tony at the Plan Factory for years now. He offers a service that many don't by offering his existing plans for sale. Some of my customers wanted unique houses and needed custom plans. Tony listens to the customers and his prices are reasonable. I would highly recommend him. Dave w/ Houser Custom Homes”
Larry Belk Design
Architects in San Antonio, TX
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 June 2015
“Larry Belk designed our custom home with a particular eye for placement on the lot. We have a dry creek bed that runs down the middle and provided a challenge regarding depth of the house. He listened to our desires and came up with a design that surpassed our expectations. We are in love with our new home! He was a pleasure to work with and was available throughout the building process to provide guidance. He has an eye for what is aesthetically pleasing no matter the style of the home. I would highly recommend him.”

“I have worked with Steve on multiple projects over the years in both New York and Nantucket MA. It is always a great experience working with him so I keep seeking him out for advice and assistance on whatever project I have. It started with an apartment renovation in NY based upon a recommendation from a seller who decided not to sell her apartment that I loved. He did a makeover on the apartment I later bought which had already been improved but not in my style. We added built-ins throughout, refinished floors, refaced cabinets, chose paint colors, and all furnishings in a style that felt uniquely my own. He had an excellent way of learning what I like and do not like and made the process for me very efficient because I almost always loved at least one of the options he presented to me for furnishings, curtains, carpets etc. Later we did a bathroom renovation which is a jewel box and very unique. A few years later he took a one day turn around trip with me to Nantucket to scope out my new beach house and came up with a very clever strategy for access to a second floor loft previously served by a ladder. This added tremendous utility to the space. He designed the new kitchen as well. He designed a brand new much expanded deck, and subsequently an outbuilding along the lines of a tiny house. I love working with Steve and hope to have more projects in future that we can work on together. Highly recommend!”
McCullough Design Associates
Architects in San Antonio, TX
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 August 2013
“We hired Ricardo to design our new house and were extraordinarily pleased with the floor plan he produced for our 2 acre lot. Our parameters included: a large open Greatroom/Kitchen/Breakfast area, Dining Room, Living Room, Office, Master Bedroom, and Bedroom #2 downstairs, and then upstairs Bedroom #3, Bedroom #4, and an Activity Room over the 3-car garage. Ricardo took great care to meet our room requirements while also superbly incorporating views of the back yard swimming pool area from the Greatroom, Breakfast nook, Living Room, and Master Bedroom windows. Additionally, he creatively designed a 2nd floor terrace exiting the Activity Room which took advantage of the long-distance western view. Clearly a man who loves his profession, Ricardo was a pleasure to work with. Throughout our association, he always displayed courtesy, high interest and energy toward us as customers. And thanks to his timely work, we'll pour the foundation "on-time" in September of 2013.”
BIM/DESIGN RESOURCES, Inc.
Architects in San Antonio, TX
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 April 2017
“The BIM/Design team are top notch professionals. Selecting them to design my house has by far been the best professional decision I have made in 57 years of life. My wife and I had become discouraged with our attempts to find a designer. We had a rude design from cutting and pasting different designs together. We knew what we wanted but couldn’t put it together and were discouraged with several other designers. While searching through Houzz for an architect I found the BIM/Design Resources site and made contact. WOW, ever since that date I have been blown away with Shan’s level of professionalism and knowledge. He took our drawings and ideas and turned it into our dream home. We had the opportunity to meet with Shane several times. He explained in detail all the design features and made changes that served our life style. He is not only an outstanding designer, he fully understands the building process. He also met with our builder to discuss the design. My wife and I will be forever grateful for his team’s hard work. It is impossible to explain in words how pleased we are with the design. As great as he was at making our dreams come true with his skills as a designer, he was even a better person and a privilege to know. The foundation was poured yesterday (March 17, 2017). Thanks again Shane, You’re The Best!!!!!!!”

“ZDB never let me down, and they never gave up to their commitment. They also never turned around in the middle of our project and gave me any unnecessary invoice. I'm no stranger to architects, they know the rules, and so do I. I wouldn't have been satisfied by anyone other than ZDB.”

A well-chosen architect can design a home that is specifically tailored to your family's lifestyle. Highly competent and professionally-trained designers, many architects in San Antonio, TX also use sustainable design principles to maximise the site and materials used, so your home uses less energy and saves you money in the long term.

If your renovation is more than a simple benchtop replacement or roof re-tiling job, then it may be time to find an architect in San Antonio, TX who can manage your project from start to finish. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, the scope can span from planning sustainable design into your renovations, to selecting furniture and even interior finishes.

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


An architect is often the first person you hire for your project. Before taking steps to find an architect in San Antonio, TX, ask yourself what you want to achieve from your renovation or home construction. Do you want to improve the liveability and sustainability of your home, or simply expand? What style of architecture do you prefer? Once you have established your motivation, research architects that have completed similar house designs in your 78248 locale and within a comparable budget to yours.

Undergoing renovations, house extensions or building a new home entirely can be stressful. For this reason, it’s important that you and your chosen architect get along and share the same values, especially if you require an architect to help you refine your brief. To establish this rapport, you may need to meet several times with the architects on your shortlist before making a final decision on who you hire. The relationship you have with your architect is very personal, and will involve discussions of your habits, hobbies and tastes, so you want to ensure you have picked someone you feel comfortable in sharing this information with.

Most importantly, you need to trust that your architect will manage your home improvement or house design within budget, while working with site constraints, and coordinating the relationships of all parties involved in the project.

Ideally, your San Antonio, TX architect will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Your architect may be needed to select and hire Texas subcontractors (e.g. builders, engineers and landscape architects) just as they may need to negotiate contracts with stakeholders. A good client-architect relationship will ensure they are your biggest advocate along the way during construction.

Finally, remember that the most well-known or established architect may not provide the right architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project.
