BBA DESIGN STUDIO INC - Architect

I found Ben initially through HomeStars. His HomeStars reviews are excellent. In my first talks with Ben he was extremely helpful guiding me through the city archives procedures in order to gain as much information about my (old) house as possible. His guidance allowed me to save money by avoiding a costly property survey. His communication is extremely prompt and always very professional. He offered me multiple design options for the basement underpinning that were all well thought through for my particular needs. When I decided on a design that I liked he connected me with an engineer and promptly put together a permit application that was approved with out any delays. He really understands the permit application process and helped me procure a permit as fast as possible. I took my time deciding on a design and Ben was very flexible and accommodating making it clear that the important thing for him is that I feel good about whatever decision I make however long that takes. My work with Ben is ongoing as after the basement I'll be renovating the upper 2 floors of my house using his designs. I will recommend Ben to friends and family. His communication skills, his understanding of the codes and procedures, and his design ideas are all top-notch. Ben's been a pleasure to work with.

I spent a good amount of time talking with various design / build firms as well as independent architects before selecting Ben to be my Architect, and I'm glad I did! Design, Drawings and permits can be time consuming, especially if you need to go through Committee of Adjustment. Ben was extremely helpful and diligent throughout the entire process, representing me and my project at Committee of Adjustment, following up with the city for zoning, reviews and permits. He was patient with us as my wife and I dithered and delayed when finalizing our various design options. Ben shared his experience with us to guide us through various options and gave us insights on how best to proceed, as well as laying out the pros and cons of our design choices. We're thrilled with the final design and drawings, and I highly recommend Ben! I wouldn't hesitate to use him again in the future!

Ben was extremely professional with us. As an architect, he had great design ideas. He was the first person we engaged in the renovation, and he got us started and helped us believe we could pul it off. He is a wonderful communicator and very reliable about what he promises to do and by when. His knowledge was invaluable and we’d would definitely use him again.

Bamdad helped us through the process of redesigning and getting permits for a front porch redesign/rebuild- including going to COA. He communicates very clearly and professionally and really supports his clients through the whole process. He was extremely organized and prepared for our day at Committee and he has many contacts at City Hall to get the job done. He is currently working with us on our next project!

Ben is and excellent architect who know his stuff. He is reliable, dependable and knowledgeable. He is By the book. He has worked on three projects for me and his designs are modern and unique. I would use him again and refer him to other friends and family.
