**★★★★★ — Jason Wolk, March 2019**

> Robert, affectionately known as Bob, is an old soul who conducts business with values.  It is his commitment to ethics and morals that makes him stand out.
>
> Bob worked closely with us to create and finalize a design of a new construction home at the beach.  He then carried the torch thru construction and operated as his own site manager. His vast experience was very helpful as he is detail oriented and manages trades very well.  From breaking ground to completion, I believe he completed the project in 10 months.
>
> Bob worked on a cost plus basis with us which allowed for a transparent working order.  He and Jean are good people who are skilled, committed, diligent, willing and flexible.

**Comment from Meckauer Design+Build, Inc.:**

> Dear Dina and Jason,
> Thank you for the review and your support. Although challenged by the limited lot size and height restrictions, together we designed and built a spacious and exciting living space which enhances the beach experience.  Jean and I enjoyed the design+build collaboration with you both, and look forward to the next project.

**★★★★★ — Stuart Thompson, July 2018**

> A friend recommended Meckauer Design.  Their work was of the highest quality.  They advised me at every level from concept to design and permitting and with a very personal approach and great alacrity.  I hope to engage them as general contractor for the project.  I am thrilled to be working with this group.

**Comment from Meckauer Design+Build, Inc.:**

> Thank you, Stuart, for the kind words! We enjoyed working with you.

**★★★★★ — Laura Van Rossum, Sept. 2015**

> Robert Meckauer worked on several projects for us over the years.  Our last project was a challenge, since our house was built in the 40's.  We hired Robert to both do the Architect work as well as General Contractor.  This was great for us, since he was able to keep the subcontractors on point and keep costs inside the budget. Even with changes we made, he was able to make our dream come true!  He uses local talent and artists for finish carpentry and painting as well as local plumbers, tile and electricians.  We are so happy with our project!

**Comment from Meckauer Design+Build, Inc.:**

> Laura: Thank you for the great review! We are excited about the design and build of your new residence on this property, subsequent to the tragic loss of the original house during the Thomas Fire in December 2017. Please note that I am not a licensed architect, but allowed to design residences in the State of California under certain circumstances.
