Bruce is amazing. He responded very quickly to my inquiry and met me at a client's that week. He gave me a lot of information and was very flexible in his style. Unfortunately, my client's have put their project on hold for now but I will ABSOLUTELY be reaching out to Bruce when it picks back up and for other projects.

I would recommend Bruce to future clients. He came out to meet me the very next day. He waisted no time. Bruce was punctual, showed up right on the button. And to my amazement he went to the city to inform himself on the house right before he showed up. By doing this he also found out more about the house, zoning, and additional requirements that I needed. Bruce was a professional, very pleasant to talk to, and very educated in his feild. You can tell he loves his work. I give Bruce a 5 star.

I contacted Bolinger Design regarding previous owners non-permitted work on my house. Bruce went out of his way to ensure a complete set of plans were made, to include all previous changes since original build. Additionally Bruce worked with the planning and permits department to ensure the process went smoothly. Bruce went a step further and coordinated repairs and construction necessary to bring the house into compliance with the engineering firm of my choice. Bruce walked me through the process each step of the way, and answered questions completely when I was unsure of what was involved. I can't say enough how attentive Bruce was to my needs to complete this project that would have been overwhelming to me on my own. I would recommend Bolinger Design to anyone in need of an architect dealing with non-permitted work or otherwise.

Details: Inspection • Building plans • One-story house • No, plans are not drafted yet • 1,500 - 2,000 sq ft • Home • I do not have a deadline
