Two years ago, Jordan Dabby fell off a wooden bench, which was pretty funny (he was okay)! You can always count on Matt Kluger to wear a cool hat. If you are ever invited to this event, I highly recommend you attend. I hear that there might be a special guest this year. I won't say their name, but it rhymes with Leggy! I certainly do have a lot of faith that this year's event will be as good as the ones before. For now, five stars based on past performance.

I contacted this company as they had created the original survey of my property by the original…read morebuilder, and I reasonably expected they would be the most efficient resource to create a new survey. I agreed to pay full price, including a rush fee, though they had the advantage of already having (their words) a "very thick file" on my property. They failed failed to show up when promised, failed to communicate their delay, and when questioned Steve Koestner was dismissive and condescending about the matter. He was unable to commit to a date when the (already delayed) work could start, and had an issue with doing the work to the spec originally agreed upon (septic features marked, as per originally communicated needs). They wasted my time, took no accountability, caused needless delays to my project, and were rudely dismissive going so far as to hang up the phone when Steve acknowledged he would not be able to do the job after all.

They wasted so much of everyone's time due to their personal employment issues. All I hear is…read morearguments with that old fart and customers about money and not delivering on time. Ur nothing like ur father.

Our projects involved large commercial facilities as well as private homes, and Chris is extremely knowledgeable. He also has excellent taste and a great sense of proportion. Easy to work with too.

Chris Blake was our architect for an expansion and renovation of our 1960s home. He not only…read moreprovided refreshing ideas for our design, but he was extremely attentive throughout our whole design process. Additionally, he provided additional plans when needed without any hassle. I must also note that his plans were so thorough regarding the town's zoning requirements (set back requirements, FAR, coverage rations, etc.). His plans helped make our process easier for both myself as the homeowner and my contractor. Chris is easy going and easy to talk and I would wholeheartedly recommend him for any individual who is looking for a very good architect.

I saw a passive house he was gut renovating in Park Slope, and it was absolutely stunning! Jim knows how to preserve historic details while bringing the design into the modern era in a tasteful, classic way. He exudes calmness and wisdom and is a pleasure to be around. Full disclosure in that I ultimately had to choose a less experienced architect because Jim's fee, although completely reasonable given his level of skill and expertise, was a bit out of our price range.

Jim was great to work with. We did a semi-gut renovation in 3 bedroom/2 bathroom apt. The quality…read moreof his work and suggestions were exactly what we wanted based on my husband and my feedback. Jim is very detailed and each week during renovation, we had him manage the project with the contractor to ensure the final output was done properly. Most Manhattan apartments are not symmetrical, so the early stage on doing things a certain way goes a long way on the final look. He understands plumbing, and electrical well to communicate to our contractors. He referred us to a HVAC engineer. When it came to interior design, we had Sarah who provided feedback and suppliers information. She was also very helpful. Jim knows the DOB process well and helped us resolved many issues even during covid and DOB rule changed in 2020 and 2021. We also had him manage the project with the contractors. The contractors don't have the same design eyes and were a bit sloppy and forgetful so it was imperative to have Jim help us. Urban charges by the hour and provided an accurate estimate of the cost. Make sure what projects he's working on so he can allocate time properly. In the beginning with the design drawing schematic, it took a while cause he was on a couple of brownstone projects but overall still have a very positive experience with Jim. He was responsive.
