Frank is very personable, explained all areas of interest which would raise flags, which items should be given immediate attention and others which were normal settling such as vertical/horizontal cracking. His suggestions of benefits such as additional attic insulation, drainage away from the foundation, etc., put us at ease that nothing serious was noticed, just maintaining good maintenance practices. Frank made sure all our questions were answered and stated not to hesitate to contact him for any issues in the future prior to hiring someone. Highly recommend 'PST ENGINEERING'.

Very rude customer service. I called to schedule a consultation for a home that is known to have…read moresome foundational issues and instead of scheduling, the receptionist proceeded to lecture me about how severe my foundations issues sounded to her. She also lectured me about the training that engineers receive after I told her about another company that I have coming to inspect my home. She was incredibly rude and patronizing. The lost a potential customer for no good reason. Sad.

We used Architect Cheri Beaver from NSPJ and loved working with her. She wanted to give us the…read morehouse of our dreams and virtually had the house drawn up the way we wanted after the first meeting. Then we spent a lot of time "tinkering" with it to make it perfect and she always came up with creative ideas to accomplish what we wanted. Whenever there was a problem on the job site and we needed her, she was always there. Her attention to detail and making sure the house was finished to perfection was outstanding. I wish I could build another house with her! We had such a great experience with Cheri that we decided to use Brick Owens, Landscape Architect from NSPJ for our landscape design. We didn't feel we could tackle it on our own since it was such a big job. He too was easy to work with and came up with great ideas for our different areas to keep them interesting for us all year long. And he let us cherry pick the best ideas from 5 different plans to make one plan that we really liked for a major area. Now that particular area is the show piece of our yard. Really they are both fantastic and both my husband and I had a great experience with them and anyone else we came into contact with at their firm. I enjoyed especially the fact that they were both so personable and easy to exchange ideas with and that in the end, we got both the house and landscape that we dreamed of.

My company has been working with Joel Perry for over six years, and have found his service to be…read moreunparalleled. In my experience, many talented architects have such strong opinions that they have difficulty truly listening to clients and effectively folding the client's desires into the space. They frequently end up shaping the space to themselves. In contrast, the team at Indwell Architecture use their talent to shape the space to the client. This is a critical distinction. Their real talent is in working as part of a collaborative team to actively find the client's needs and preferences, then create a space that meets those needs while being aesthetically pleasing as possible. The spaces Indwell designs inevitably strike the proper balance between form and function. They are spaces people want to live in. I have used Joel and the rest of the team at Indwell for many years, and plan on using them for years to come. He is the architect that I use for my own personal home and business projects, as well as for my clients. I recommend him without reservation.

I'm awful green when it comes to anything related to home repairs- but Brad was very helpful in breaking down the details of the inspection. He gave me great insight on the expected life of many facets of the house/ what he estimated it would cost to repair them. He did great work and was fairly priced. Well done, Brad.

I am a dentist who recently hired Dev Inc (Roger Claar - Architect and Dev Anand - Contractor) to…read morebuild a new office for my practice and we had a horrible experience. After starting the preliminary design work (floor plan and initial building sketch) we became irritated with our voice not being heard. We were concerned with inefficiencies in the floor plan design and loss of workflow that we have established in our current practice. Mr. Anands defensive and abrasive demeanor did not help our lines of communication. We tried to terminate the contract and pay for the few sketches that had been created. Dev Inc emailed us back and informed me that he and his architect had put close to 300 billable hours into the project and demanded a sum of near $25,000. This was shocking news to us as we had 3 documents in hand: floor plan + site plan + exterior sketch. We got legal counsel for guidance and to help us dispute our case. Dev Anands reaction was to get his lawyer to threaten a lawsuit for over $250,000 of ANTICIPATED earnings and additional expenses!!! Under the threat of Dev Inc suing me I collapsed and paid them. I have nothing to show for the $25K - except a few unwanted drawings, unwanted legal fees and countless hours of lost sleep and stress. This experience has terrified me in the entire building process.
