TESTIMONIALS

October 2006:

"....I was overwhelmed by the beauty of your project."

This client was responding to pictures of a recently completed master bedroom remodel project.

July 2006:

"(my father-in-law) enjoyed working with you and told me every night that he thought you were worth the cost and worth more than that. I certainly agree."

This came from a construction coaching client where his garage needed extensive structural straightening and strengthening.

May 2006:

"You are the perfect blend of CPA and contractor."

This client needed help quickly sorting through the thousands of options for how to improve/expand her home. Bob was able to quickly help her narrow options down while ensuring sustainable results. This quick narrowing saved dozens of hours of more expensive design time. A relatively small investment in planning can save significant costs.

September 2005:

"This was great. I have a much better grasp of how to prioritize and move forward."

This client wanted some remodeling and thought there might be some repairs needed. He wanted to make sure that he prioritized the repairs and sequenced the remodels to maximize his limited budget. His quote was referring to an assessment that Bob conducted of the house and the subsequent action plan for moving forward.

May 2005:

"The assessment was GREAT..... The result of such clear thinking and presentation is to take the overwhelmingness out of the equation. I feel (we) have a really good sense of how to think about our house, and how/whether to proceed on different improvements. And, since none of the ideas came from me, there's a neutralness to the field of possibilities that helps us plan/scheme while avoiding some trips to the marriage counselor."

This client wanted to improve their house but didn't know what would be the most cost efficient sequence. After Bob's assessment, they realized that several issues they were very concerned about were less important than several they did not even know about. A prioritized action plan then gave them a rough road map for how sequence changes and gave them some of the tips/tricks that should be remembered for these changes.

1994:

The first addition Bob designed and built was in South Minneapolis and was celebrated by a letter from the client's neighbor: "(I) commend you for your most attractive addition..." "It now looks like it's always been there. Oftentimes something of that nature speaks loudly 'this is an addition' but not in your case. All lines and stucco finishing were carefully planned and look great."
