On my first meeting with Doug Rusk, I immediately felt we were on the same wave length. Doug is extremely knowledgeable about design and architecture and is also a very good listener as he listened carefully and thoughtfully while I explained what ideas I had for my daughter's and my bread business. He had good suggestions and we scheduled a day to meet at the location. Doug quickly and efficiently drew up plans for us to consider and was open to discussion about any changes we wanted made, making sure that what we wanted and needed was his first priority. Feeling comfortable and being able to discuss and share information this way was important to me and made for a very conducive working environment. Doug established a rapport and connection with the City of Chandler's small business development group as well and handled all of the applications for the necessary permits; this gave me peace of mind and allowed me to focus on other aspects of the business set up. Doug's amiable personality and positive attitude, along with exceptional knowledge base helped pave the way for good relations with the City of Chandler and this also gave me confidence in his abilities as our architect and that our work was of the highest caliber. I am very happy with the results of our business remodel and would highly recommend Doug Rusk and will hire him again when I need design and architectural work done in the future.
