Featured Reviews for Architects in Hawaii

William J. Benjamin, AIA | Lux Homes Hawaii
Architects in Hawaii
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 January 2014
“Bill Benjamin is brilliant when working with clients. He is the only architect in Honolulu who will fully collaborate with clients and not impose his artistic views as is the case with many other local architects. He is also highly intelligent and can solve many problems of design and construction that other architects have problems with.”

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 August 2014
“Amanda Hughes is a very talented designer who has helped us redesign and reconstruct our home. She is professional, personable, and positive to work with and is prompt to answering questions and returning calls. We feel so fortunate to have had her lead us through the building process by helping us find quality products: flooring, tile, cabinets, vanities, etc. at a reasonable price. We highly recommend Amanda to help you create your quality dream home, like she has been able to help us rebuild ours. Sincerely, Hannibal, Joy, Riga, Mika Grubis Family”

“We had a great experience with Phillip White, Laura Ayers and staff when building our new home in Manoa. They are professional, friendly, responsive to our needs as well as giving us superb ideas for the creation of our new home. They worked as a positive team, that really got along on all levels. Their working environment made us feel comfortable and welcome. We highly recommend them for any new clients/projects.”

“Aza was instrumental in designing our remodel on the Hamakua Coast and he has also provided a wonderful design for our new home in Kohala Ranch. He listens and has excellent conceptual ideas. We would definitely recommend him for your project.”
Pu'uwai Design & Construction
Architects in Hawaii
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 July 2014
“Unlike most of people that live on the mainland that built a home in Kauai, we do not have any horror stories to share. I believe that’s because we had an open dialog with Puuwai Construction. The building of our home was a seamless process that kept everyone in the loop and there was never a surprise. With that said, we highly recommend Puu’wai as probably the best construction company on the island of Kauai. Mahalo, ~Holt & Margo Cloward”
Paul M. Donoho, Architect
Architects in Hawaii
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 January 2013
“We can't say enough good things about Paul Donoho. He is the ultimate professional. He was a pleasure to work with, his design work is exceptional as is his attention to detail. He had just the right balance between listening to us, the homeowners, while providing his experienced opinion. He had a great relationship with the contractor, creating a positive working relationship with him while still representing our interest. Even though we had built a home before, Paul provided a level of skill and experience that we could never come close to and we felt completely comfortable relying on his expertise. Having Paul on board throughout the process until the end of construction was extremely valuable.”

“Rex is a fantastic professional. He did an amazing job of fully understanding the vision of my project. Any changes that I wanted or needed he was very quick to complete and discuss. Rex also has a great ability to communicate with his clients as well as with contractors and government officials. His attention detail and understanding of not only architecture but of the entire construction process was a huge help. I would highly recommend Rex and his company to any of my friends or colleagues and will absolutely use him again.”

Architect or Architectural Designer FAQs
An architect is a professional who designs and creates building plans, ensuring the building is functional, safe, and aesthetically pleasing. They collaborate with clients to understand their needs and create designs that meet their requirements. Architects also consider building codes, regulations, and sustainability principles in their designs. They may oversee the construction process to ensure it aligns with the design intent.
If you are looking at a house extension or building a new home from scratch, chances are you are going to need the help of a residential architect. They have extensive knowledge of architectural design, construction methods and building materials, not to mention a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light and flow within a property. Architects will also be far more capable of seeing the bigger picture – carefully balancing aesthetic appeal with structural safety. With their local knowledge, your Hawaii architect will also often help to obtain planning permission and building regulations approval.

  • Answer a few questions about your project to get matched with a local architect for free. Enter your postcode above to get started.

    • After choosing either option, you can reach out to the architects you want to discuss your project. You can request and compare quotes before hiring the right architect for you.
    After choosing a residential architect, you will usually start with a consultation to discuss the project. Preferably at your property or building site where the work will be done. Give as clear a picture as possible of the kind of home you are trying to create to your architects. Chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and feedback, together with any very specific requirements you might have. They will explain their process to you alongside any other on-site visits up to and including the build stage, depending on whether they will be involved at that stage. From there they will produce the designs and plans required for your project.
    The cost of hiring an architect in Hawaii can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project, experience, reputation, and location. Architectural fees are typically structured as a percentage of the project’s total construction cost, ranging from 8% to 15%. For example, if a project has a construction cost of £500,000 and the architect’s fee is 10%, the fee would be £50,000. It’s advisable to discuss fees and payment structures with architects in Hawaii during initial consultations.
