I found Tim when my husband and I were starting from scratch building a restaurant in a space that…read morewasn't set up for a restaurant. Tim responded to our inquiry to work with him quick and worked well with my husband on the plans to start the process. Tim has been professional and communicates effectively. It's been a blessing finding and working with Tim. If you are looking for someone who genuinely cares about your needs and wants within architecture I'd definitely consider Tim for your next project.

It all started one day, my wife (then girlfriend) were living in Ferndale. We were walking along…read morethe street and we had a hankering for a tasty drink. She suggested bubble tea, and I was happy about the idea. To my dismay, after doing some searches on Yelp... I realized that the closest one was 30 miles away. How could this be? A city like Ferndale would be PERFECT for a bubble tea establishment but nobody is doing it. Which gave us the idea, if any great location opens up, we need to start a Bubble Tea shop. Fast forward 3 years when we got word that a Radio Shack was moving it's location a mile down the road, this Radio Shack being located on the corner of 9 mile and Woodward. We jumped at the chance and with the collaboration of friends and family, we were able to lease the location. Which then came to the building plans. Given that we were putting all of our eggs in this basket, I wanted to make sure that had got the best architecture firm that we could get. We met with atleast 6 companies until we met the team at Design Team +. First and foremost, this group is unlike any other team I have ever seen mainly because... they have tons of fun. I walked into the office and I see a home-made beer dispensing vending machine, popcorn microwaving and awesome decorations mixed with music and laughter. It's like, what party did I just walk in to? That being said, although they are playful, it does not impede on their quality of work. They work hard and play hard ~ just like we do! We came into the office, went over the project, got a very competitive quote and couldn't wait to see what they came up with. Within a few weeks they gave us plans that knocked our socks off... I mean it was incredible. The dream was starting to come together and they proved themselves 10 times over. So now here we are a few months later, under construction for the most part and waiting on the glacial pace of getting government approval. We don't know how this is going to pan out, but we are hoping for the best. Many of our worries were extinguished by Design Team Plus, as they are well connected and always pointed me in the right direction. We worked with Harold Remlinger, the principle architect who happens to teach at my wife's alma matter, Lawrence Tech, and Shari, the interior designer who was also a lecturer in the same school. Both of them are elites of the industry and are responsive and great to work with. If you are looking for a fun team that not only will give you a great price but also top-notch service, then you need to come to Design Team +, in my opinion are hands down the best architectural team in Birmingham anywhere in Oakland County for that matter. I will continue to work with them in the future! P.S. Keep on the lookout for The Detroit Bubble Tea Company on 9 and Woodward in August 2014 :)

Her…read moreguidance on colors was extremely helpful, as what I thought I knew about colors that created a warm, welcome feeling, wasn't actually the case. I love the colors that she suggested (and that I used) on accent walls; I never ever would have come up with them on my own. She also was an extremely effective contact person in negotiating with a retail furniture chain then new to the area regarding delivery fees and extra tarifs. Also, she gladly offered to push through orders on items that I hadn't worked with her on, with other furniture retailers so that I could benefit from her pricing. Once I am finally unpacked I plan to ask her back again for further advice as to making my place more homey and sharper in design. Shari is very dependable and trustworthy, and she listened to what I wanted for my space without imposing her I would highly recommend Shari and Design Team + without hesitation

Rufino worked with us to design a whole house renovation and additions on a midcentury modern gem…read morethat essentially hadn't been updated since being built in 1952, besides a kitchen refresh in the 1980s. From the start, he was easy to communicate with and work with. He walked through our current house so we could talk through design/function that we liked or didn't like about our current living situation, asked us for our design inspiration with likes/dislikes, and then designed a home that is even better than we had imagined. Importantly, he thought about function, not just appearance, and how we would really use spaces based on how we live our life as a family. The 3D renderings were very helpful in visualizing the spaces, and they also gave us things to be excited about during the process. He always responded quickly and professionally, and he really took our ideas into account. Living in our house now is like a dream. We feel so lucky to live in such a beautiful (and functional) space. Rufino is a true artist. We don't plan on leaving this house anytime soon, but if we had the opportunity to design another home, we would 100% reach out to Rufino again.

BEWARE !!!! David B…read moreAllen and David Howell are two scam artist who worth together. Both David Allen and David Howell were contracted to renovate an apartment complex. At first they seem like honest genuine business men, they will sell you on how active they are in the community and how they serve on the Redford community board but it's all smoke and mirrors. After receiving the estimate it was agreed on that the first deposit would be 19k to get started, first off they cashed the check right away! But never showed up to the job site, on top of that they stole over 12k worth of electrical material that was at the property. Tried for several months to get a hold of both Allen and Howell they would simply not respond until I took them to court and received a judgement in my favor. It has been over a year still no money back or any work completed by their company.

However, I didn't want to go to a professional kitchen and bath designer because I didn't want them to push for their products and then have buyers remorse. She did the drawings and I did my research and picked out what I wanted without having to deal with the middle person. With her drawings the contractors were able to use them to "follow directions" and re-model the bathroom. Her pricing, compared to others that I have priced, were very reasonable with the work I wanted done and the amount I was willing to spend. I would definitely recommend her for any drawing work that any of my friends want.
