Architectural Drawings Services in Decatur, MI

“After a few false starts with others in the area, Keystone has been a breath of fresh air, with timely service, reasonable rates, and great customer service. It's also clear that Keystone's technical advice is very sound. Being an engineer, my curiosity can be unwelcome in technical areas, but Ven has helped me fully understand the merits of his work. He's also helped our builder bring solid plans to reality, with little of the friction you might expect between architect and builder. Working with Keystone has been a rare pleasure in today's world; not only has the quality, cost and thoroughness of Keystone's work been excellent, but their sense of urgency has helped keep our rehab project timeline intact.”

“Nothing but praise for Helman Sechrist Architecture: we are in a home we couldn’t even dream of (better than a ‘dream home’) - designed by Helman Sechrist! We had a design challenge - leaving behind two homes that we loved, and combining into 1 new home that would accommodate my family (husband and 3 kids) and my mom, ensuring space for everyone and universal accessibility. We looked at a few homes in our area, then we spent months looking at plans, and realized that nothing pre-drawn was going to work for our family. From my first conversation with Jeff Helman, I was confident that he understood our unique situation - he agreed that we would need to start from scratch. I realize now that this is how they design all their homes - designing spaces around the needs and wants of their clients, spaces that function perfectly and are beautiful! The journey was amazing - their process ensures they are aware of all the functions you want to accomplish in your home - before any plans are drawn. We met extensively with Jeff and Brad (Sechrist), they were alway patient and a pleasure to work with even when we were not at our best - ( imagine how hard a project is to coordinate between two people - then add a mom / mother-in-law to that mix). The staff at Helman Sechrist was there for us throughout the project - They helped us with the bidding process, helped us pick the right builder, made sure that the house was on the lot where it should be, and even talked us through the inevitable rough spots. I cannot express how much we love our new space, how perfectly it is working for us. The spaces that we are living in are just the right size, very spacious - but still cozy; never cavernous or cold. If you want a house that fits your family and your needs - not a house that you have to fit into - Helman Sechrist is well worth the investment.”

“As a Chicagoland kitchen and bath designer, I have worked with the dSPACE group on a number of residential kitchen and baths. They are a talented and professional group. Great ideas and inspired designs flow from the studio on Lincoln Ave. A pleasure to work with on every job.”

“ADIDA, Inc., is a pure joy to work with! We have worked with Valentina on several projects. She always brings fresh ideas that meet or exceed our expectations and that of our Clients. She takes the time to listen and incorporate the client's must-haves with what will work in their space and really goes the extra mile to make sure their needs are met. Valentina also makes herself available when it works for our Clients schedules, which makes scheduling meetings easy and convenient. She really cares about how you will live in your home and you can see that in her details. We are eager to work with her again!”

“Holly helped my fiancé and me design our dream home over the course of fall/winter 2022. She was so open to all of our ideas and put our minds to rest when we had thoughts that seemed "out there". She also had great feedback and ideas of her own to include that she thought would go along with our aesthetic of the home. One of our favorite parts was being able to do a virtual walk-through of the layout to review the smaller details that would not show up in a basic house plan. We added several little details at that stage that we are very excited to see when building begins. It was also wonderful that she drafted a basic electrical plan and included notes on the plan about future things we wanted to account for. We would absolutely recommend Holly and her team!”

“We have hired many architects over the years, and have found AB2 Architecture to be one of the best. Arnie Bunkley is an experience professional. Good creative thought, balanced with a practical knowledge, helped our mutual clients realize exceptional results. he became one of of the team, a group of artisans with a common goal, "provide the client with an outstanding experience and house." We also enjoyed our interactions with him, every situation was pleasant and respectful. I highly recommend AB2 Architecture and plan to hire him again. Brian Bosgraaf, President CottageHome”

“Three years ago Mary Whittaker Duncan, who currently works with Inform Architecture, designed a beautiful lake house for me. In spite of rigid road setbacks, Mary was able to maximize the space and plan the perfect house for me. I was very happy with her performance throughout the process. Sincerely, Tanya Sanderson”

“From start to finish Amy was amazing to work with. She took the time to enter fully into our project, listening to how we wanted to live in and use our home and then coming up with renovation plans that far surpassed what we could have hoped for. She will do whatever it takes to meet a deadline and is attentive to every detail. She works exceptionally well with others, always eager to work with and meet contractors and sub-contractors. She understands construction well, which is a great asset as you are going through a renovation. We could not say enough about the quality of our experience with AeH Designs. And the final product, our renovated home, is more beautiful and more well-suited to our needs and wants than we ever thought it could be.”

“We really enjoyed our experience with Spalding Design Group. We presented our ideas of a 3500 sf addition on to an 1870 farm house with both thoughts and pictures. John picked up our vision right away and honestly we met with him one other time to finalize....Spalding got it right from the beginning. The attention to space and flow, not to mention combining the old house with the new really showed the expertise that is offered. We highly recommend Spalding Design Group”

“In 2012 we purchased several acres in a secluded area in northern Michigan as a place to retreat from our busy, everyday lives. We contacted Ben and Kristi because of their experience, expertise and honest reputation to design a "cabin in the woods" with an open floor plan to maximize accessibility and social living. This would serve as a vacation getaway with an option for our retirement home. Working with Ben and Kristi was smooth and comfortable and they were always accessible for questions and changes. Our beautiful cabin, as well as our experience with WHD, far exceeded our expectations.”
