Kevin,
I would like to express my thanks to you, Wes Bryant, Kevin Lee and all the others with Partners in Building who contributed in building my new home.
Your team took on an atypical contemporary home project designed by myself, a 1st time architect, and handled the process with grace and professionalism; especially given my hands-on involvement, and all the modern details and finishes that were specified. Throughout all my dealings with Kevin Lee in pricing, Wes during specification, and yourself during the execution, the project moved ahead in a relatively straight-forward and problem free way.
As I made my own selections for the bathrooms, lighting, and hardware, and employed more unusual materials like limestone CMU blocks, aluminum handrails, stained concrete and bamboo flooring, the project was an off-center job for Partners in Building, a specialist in more traditional homes, and despite that, the process took a very reasonable 6 months from ground clearance to moving in. Custom houses are by their nature one-offs, and this house was even further from the norm with multiple flat decks, double volumes, and large open spans. It was not surprising that some decisions had to be made as we progressed, and I appreciate that you were willing to be flexible and provide guidance in accomplishing these changes as well as manage the design challenges.
The proof is there to see; the house exceeds my expectations and is getting a lot of positive attention from people in the community. This week I received a note from a local architect, who said it is the best-looking house in the neighborhood.
As such, I would have no hesitation in recommending Partners in Building to those properly prepared and intending to build their own homes.
Daniel R.
