About Us

About Our Architectural Firm in Overland Park, KS

Bickford and Company are proud to have earned a reputation as a leading architectural firm in Overland Park, KS. It all began in 1979 when our owner Scott Bickford founded the company. After graduating from school in 1978 and spending a year at a residential architecture firm—making contacts and collaborating with home builders—Scott set out to start his own company, and the rest is history. Since that day more than 40 years ago, Bickford and Company have continued to offer the same high-quality work that we have been known for since the beginning.


We proudly serve the people of the Kansas City Metropolitan Area, where we have built an impressive network of contractors and professionals. However, we are happy to work with clients from all over the world. Domestically, we have designed homes in Illinois, Texas, Nebraska, New Jersey, Virginia, Florida, and Hawaii. All our clients are a result of referrals—a testament to the quality of our work.

The Home You Deserve

The design-build trend is popular in today’s market. However, we simply don’t adhere to a one-size-fits-all approach to new home design and construction. Although new homes can be convenient in every way, the reality is that they weren’t made for you; they were made for the market. We believe that every homeowner is unique and that their homes should reflect this individuality. Don’t settle for a cookie-cutter design. Instead, turn to us for the customized services you deserve.


Custom architecture isn’t about building a house—it’s about designing a home. Your home. That is why we take the time to understand all your unique wants, needs, and specifications. Then, we discuss styles, adornments, and features to complement your vision. When our work is complete, you will have the one-of-a-kind home design that you’ve been dreaming about.
