PETER JOSEPH BROWN

PETER IS EXCELLENT AT RETURNING CALLS AND PROVIDING FEEDBACK. WE SPOKE TO SEVERAL OTHER ARCHITECTS AND CHOSE PETER BROWN. PETER REALLY TOOK THE TIME TO LISTEN TO OUR NEEDS AND WHAT WE WANTED. HE UNDERSTOOD OUR BUDGET AND WORKED WITHIN IT. HE CREATED EXCELLENT DRAWINGS OF OUR HOUSE. WE CHANGED OUR MINDS MANY, MANY TIMES ON WHAT WE NEEDED, AND IT NEVER BOTHERED HIM ONCE. HE DETAILED IN A PROPOSAL ALL OF THE STEPS ALONG THE WAY FROM CONCEPT TO CONSTRUCTION. HE WORKED WITH COMPANIES TO GET INITIAL INFORMAL QUOTES TO SEE IF WE WERE EVEN WITHIN THE "BALL PARK" FOR OUR BUDGET. PETER PREPARED ALL OF THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO GET A VARIANCE APPROVED IN FRONT OF THE CITY OF PITTSBURGH. HE THEN ACCOMPANIED ME TO THE HEARING WHERE THE VARIANCE WAS APPROVED. WE FACED SOME FINANCIAL PROBLEMS OUTSIDE OF THIS PROJECT AND DECIDED TO POSTPONE THE WORK FOR A YEAR OR TWO. WE WILL MOST CERTAINLY GO BACK TO PETER WHEN WE ARE READY TO PROCEED.
