Our experience with Dave was great. We had a draft of what we wanted, and he was able to start with that. He made several suggestions and changes we had never thought of. Dave was very professional and his price was reasonable. We're extremely pleased with our plans and can't wait to see our finished home.

O'Brien Custom Home Designs, designed our "Dream Home". From our initial wish list, Dave took our ideas and created an incredible concept that addressed all our wishes, He visited our property, and within his design he took all things into consideration. While we made several changes, Dave was patient with every change. The total plan included "Material Take-Off", which ended up saving us more than the cost of plans. We cannot say enough about the quality of service and how pleasant the process was. If we ever build again, Dave will be the first person we contact.

Fabulous and Fun architect! We had a total gut job, 3000 square foot house in Tanglewood. Dave had our plans finalized within 2 weeks. He was never delayed, always waiting on us to review each stage of the plans. 5 months later, our project is almost finished and we see what an absolute amazing job he did reworking the entire house. Now, every single bit of space is useable, well thought out, and beautifully detailed. It is a bit expensive to get such a really good architect, but very well worth it! We couldn't be more pleased with his vision and timeliness!

Dave designed a 1300 square foot addition for our home in Fort Worth. We had previously worked with an architect who was unable to complete our project because of competing workload. We contacted Dave and he immediately jumped in tweaking the very preliminary work the original architect had produced. Dave's floorplan was a real improvement. Once we settled on the general layout, Dave provided a full set of construction plans for submittal to the City of Fort Worth. Not unexpectedly, the City wanted several additional details which Dave quickly provided. Dave was a real pleasure to work with. He was very quick, accurate and accommodating.

My wife and I have purchased several previously built homes, but this is the first time we will be building a home and we have no experience with architects or builders. We were looking for an architect we could trust and someone who would guide us through the process of laying out a custom home. After searching online for architects in our area we found Dave O’Brian on the Houzz.com website. Even from our initial phone conversation we liked Dave and once we met we were immediately comfortable with him. He is personable, professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Dave also has experience as a builder, which was an added bonus and became evident as we worked through each step of he plan...

We interviewed and hired O'Brien Custom Home Designs after a previous designer did not work out. I spoke with several of his past clients, who all raved about him. Dave is quite knowledgeable and shares his experienced opinion as necessary. He is very conscientious, professional, responsive, and thorough. Working with him was smooth and enjoyable. We would definitely hire him again and highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Dave for your design needs. He went out of his way to do a top notch job. He was very helpful in suggesting ideas to us. We appreciate his professionalism, courtesy, friendliness, and excellent quality work.

We wanted to hire someone to design our 2nd story addition who would not be the builder. We wanted the design to have OUR best interest on the structure, not the interest of a builder who might cut corners on structure to save money. Dave was the perfect choice! He is incredibly knowledgeable and created choices for us that we didn't even think of. He answered all of our questions and even gave us insight as to what to watch out for when we were ready to hire a builder. Having someone on our side was so important. We were so impressed at how fast he would make changes and have them back to us. When we interviewed builders for our project, they were so impressed at the design and detail o...

We LOVED working with Dave! Upon our initial meeting, he listened, but also made suggestions based on what we discussed. He was extremely thorough and very detail-oriented. As we made minor changes through the drafting period, we really felt like he "got" us and our vision for our dream home! His pricing, I found, was lower than other local architects, but you still get the same type of quality in his work. He is super responsive and also got everything done in a timely manner - another bonus! I highly recommend him, so much that I sent my sister his info and she is meeting with him today :)

What a fantastic partner to help you bring your vision to life! I met with several architects before making a decision, and working with Dave could not have been a better experience! We had several out of the box ideas we were not sure could be done. Dave worked with us to make sure every item worked in the design. Dave kept an open line of communication and was always very responsive as we made changes throughout the process. Working with Dave made this process painless and easy. I cannot provide a strong enough recommendation!
