Laura is a true professional. She's honest, caring and straight forward. Laura reviewed the proposed layout we received from another designer for our main floor renovation and she advised us on the missing design and structural information that should have been included given what we had already paid. Laura was able to provide us with a clear understanding of the specific steps required to go to permit and more importantly the specific costs to do so. She outlined everything leaving no questions unanswered. Laura was a real pleasure to deal with. A designer like Laura who truly has her client's interests at heart and her client's budget at heart, is a designer that is very hard to find. The design industry needs more Lauras.

It is unfortunate that there are no standards in this 'Construction Industry' for both the 'Design side of the house' and the 'Build' side.
They are interconnected. More than that, as I say to clients, the control of the budget is in the planning stage.
Many companies are leaving out aspects on the 'Design side' that contribute to costs to be captured in the Construction bid.
This is my new goal - to establish 'Best Practices' or 'Industry Standards' for minimum requirements to Design and Build effectively. Thanks for your important feedback. (And the compliment. I'm blushing)
