“Dan Boot as a designer is asked to solve specific problems. Understanding that the requirements presented by the client may sometimes be vague, Dan is able to work with them to come to a conclusion that the client is comfortable with and represents the goal that the client was seeking when they engaged the services of StudioDB3. Dan analyzes the information by determining the key elements of the requirements, the relationships between them and how to combine them into a solution to present to his clients for consideration. He is able to conceptualize client’s desires through sketches, drawings and models so that his clients can visualize the process from start to finish to gain a unique understanding of what the end result can and will be. His clients can then determine whether it meets their expectations, that prior to the process that Dan engages them in, were just ideas and dreams. StudioDB3 is able to then move the process through all the intricate steps required from start to finish, including the required engineering and approval process, construction and final occupancy. Dan Boot is an excellent communicator and combined with his professionalism and confidence and his ability to communicate these to his clients, provide them with peace of mind, knowing their project is in good hands. Working with StudioDB3 adds value to the project, since conception, up to and including occupancy, can be dealt with through one office that has the experience, ability and energy to see the project through to completion. Forty years of being involved in the design and construction industry, mainly in British Columbia, but as well as in Alberta, Hong Kong, Mexico and Hawaii, combined with Dan’s unique and artistic flair bring elements to the table that can alleviate anxieties of even the most discerning clients. Dan’s integrity, honesty, passion and professionalism make the engagement of StudioDB3 for your building project an excellent choice, since they are not only able to visualize their client’s needs and wants but they are able make their project real.”

“I hired Datum Point for 2 projects - a residential garage in a heritage style to match the house, and a residential detached duplex project. Both designs were completed to a very high standard.”

“John has a unique ability to combine intricate elements of aesthetics, functional layout, resilience, and purpose into a progressive design package with minimal environmental impact both in construction and ongoing habitation. His designs are both mindful of the future and accommodating to his customers' desires and lifestyle requirements. Such a complicated balance of considerations is not easy to achieve and John seems to do it time and time again. We have worked with John on several projects over the years and each experience has been a pleasure. We recommend his services without hesitation.”

“I have worked with Julene on 3 separate projects and she never ceases to deliver. She is my go-to for design and prep work when I am building. She has designed and executed two commercial spaces for me, and is now working on my custom home. I have recommended her to many people because of how much trust I have in her capabilities.”

“I am an architect and provided them with preliminary design sketches which they advanced through a process of drafting and review from design to contract documents, refining all across the table and on an interactive screen. Highly knowledgeable and easy to work with. Highly recommended.”

“Great experience working with Jeff and his team from Immersive. They helped us to build a visual interior design of our Mt Washington vacation chalet. My wife and I are very pleased with the results, how responsive and professional the team is. Because of the team members experience in construction, a number of design decisions were simply perfect and right to the point. We are excited to start the build and make the design a reality. We would recommend Immersive to all our friends.”

“Outstanding design and service. We used outline to design our custom family home. We were provided with a complete design and architectural plans.”

“Rod was recommended to me by my contractor and I couldn't have been happier with my decision. Rod was very easy to work with and directed my ideas and visions for my house to a workable design. My house is beautiful! Anyone who comes to see my house always asks who the house designer was. I would highly recommend Kervin Home Design.”

“Everyone at CA Design was a delight to deal with from the beginning of our design process to the completion of our new home. John and Jeremy listened to our ideas and encorporated all of our hopes and wishes for our new "forever" home. The final result is even better than we had hoped for. We got everything on our wish list all in one functional, gorgeous, comfortable home which will allow us to age in place. They brought ideas to the design we had not considered. The design process was painless and the costs were well within the budget we had determined. They also provided ongoing input and support until the completion of the build. I would hire them again in a heartbeat... But I'm never moving.”

“Paul went above and beyond for us. His ideas and designs were better than we could have imagined. Paul's attention to detail was outstanding. Paul seemed to have in depth knowledge in every area of the project from which building materials to use to which appliances to purchase. If you are reading this because you are looking for a designer with style, class and an incredible eye for detail, congratulations, you have found him. I guarantee you won't be disappointed!”
