Report
Paul has been designing homes for me for over 10 years. His creative thinking has solved many design challenges and he is always able to produce a unique and attractive final design.
Paul also is very familiar with the current building codes and permitting process which adds to his ability to design a well thought out product that is buildable. Because of the success I have had working with Paul, I have had him design my new personal residence and am pleased to say that he has done an outstanding job!
