He seemed to be very knowledgeable and passionate about what he's doing. He was very responsive and addressed quickly all my concerns.
We spent about 2 hours on our first meeting reviewing the existing old house and presenting my views for the new house.
It wasn't an easy case as the small size lot gave us some challenges in meeting the Village of Niles codes. Richard was very helpful in asking for 3 variances from the Village and they all got approved.
The plans took about 2 months to be finished after. And he did a great work with it, paying attention to the smallest details.
We are about 2 -3 months from finishing the construction of the house. And I already got lots of compliments about how beautiful the house looks.
Thank you Richard!
We chose to hire our own subcontractors and I cannot stress the importance of having professionally made plans. All of the contractors have been able to quote off of a clear plan. Most importantly, Richard double checked the plans with the city planning department so that the permitting process goes smoothly. The plans gives a clear reference point that everyone can refer, and I would not have attempted this remodel without it.
Once we selected a design, Richard drew up plans, which were accepted by the village for permit with no hitches.
In addition to the plans, Richard did extensive research for building materials and made several recommendations.
All in all the experience was excellent, the deck was built and everything passed final inspection.
I found Rich's approach professional and thorough, and his designs were creative yet functional.
