I spent a good amount of time talking with various design / build firms as well as independent architects before selecting Ben to be my Architect, and I'm glad I did! Design, Drawings and permits can be time consuming, especially if you need to go through Committee of Adjustment. Ben was extremely helpful and diligent throughout the entire process, representing me and my project at Committee of Adjustment, following up with the city for zoning, reviews and permits. He was patient with us as my wife and I dithered and delayed when finalizing our various design options. Ben shared his experience with us to guide us through various options and gave us insights on how best to proceed, as well as laying out the pros and cons of our design choices. We're thrilled with the final design and drawings, and I highly recommend Ben! I wouldn't hesitate to use him again in the future!
