Got dreams?  

Whether you are an individual with a vision for a waterfront vacation home or a committee of 12 planning a new classroom building, we are up for your challenge. Since 1979 Cheatham Fletcher Scott has designed well-proportioned, beautifully detailed buildings that work. Our buildings range from historically accurate to clean contemporary, but no matter the style our clients describe them as visually delightful and a bit intriguing.

How are we different? It is because we get to know our clients better than they know themselves. Our work is a sensitive expression of our client’s needs and wants. Our work is not a commodity, and it is never trendy. Our work is personal. Our work comfortably respects its surroundings and never cries for attention. Whether you have a detailed, written program or a folder full of magazine clippings let us help you find your own vision.

We are competitive. Want to go over the top with your project, or does your pro-forma require a strict design budget? Either way, we can work with you, and you will receive excellent value for your design investment. We are accustomed to working on a percentage basis, but please tell us how you prefer to pay us – retainer, hourly rates, lump sum, per square foot, or do you have an old Indian motorcycle you want to trade?
