"…you listened to our needs and wants and were most adept at incorporating them into the final plans. We have already had numerous complements…like “inviting…”, “welcoming…”, “professionally done…We are proud and enthused with what you have done to raise the value of our investment after the fires destroyed our original structure and grounds. Your efforts were creative, professional, comfortable, and sensitive to our needs. You delivered everything that you had promised in a timely and responsible fashion."

Custom packages may also be offered, combining two or more packages to fulfill your own unique design program requirements. Typically, a site meeting is arranged to meet and discuss your vision as it relates to the site. During this meeting, we will touch on:

· Site opportunities and/or constraints
· Client program requirements
· Budgetary needs
· Legal/planning/ HOA concerns
· Cost and timing of design/build process
· Any other concerns relative to particular or unique project considerations
