Jacob was highly professional, available and responsive though out the project. He had cover-to-cover knowledge of Chicago City codes and had impeccable taste in choosing finishing and decor. He was a pleasure to work with at every stage of the process. His in depth knowledge of city codes probably saved us a bundle in potential inspector issues. Even more importantly, our building is much safer and energy efficient than it would have been without his oversight. I've already recommended DesignBridge to several of my friends and coworkers. My parents are planning to work with Jacob for a renovation project at their home soon. I just can't say enough nice things about this company.
Description of Work: Jacob Swindler of DesignBridge provided architectural services for a $55,000 renovation in our building, changing the 3rd floor of our 3-flat into an office space for our small business. He developed a design for the space, prepared permit and construction drawings, shepherded the project through the permitting department, worked with us to get contractor bids, and helped us compare the bids so we were able to get the best price from the best contractor. He provided guidance on everything including room arrangement, heating and electrical installation, lighting design, custom cabinetry, furniture, and paint selection. He made sure that all the changes we wanted were code compliant and that the scope of work fit within our budget and schedule. During construction, he reviewed work in progress to make sure the contractors we hired were doing the work properly (They weren't always and he caught and had corrected at least one major code violation the contractors were trying to pass by us. Next time we will only hire DesignBridge recommended contractors!)
