From the very first stage of exploration of ideas to the very end of construction. John is always available to help work through any obstacles that arise throughout the entire project. From the beginning, explaining how the process works, making the most beautiful blue prints, taking care of the interfacing with all the permits with city requirements and officials. During the difficult time of covid-19, when city officials were not available to meet with face to face and the permitting process was extremely difficult, John made it all work. John cares about his clients, he works to make sure that all of their concerns and questions are taken care of. We, our family, couldn't have navigated the difficult journey without the extreme professional work that John provided! **Comment from JSBA Architecture & Planning:** > Thank you Randy. I look forward to your family having many wonderful years in your expanded home! ### All 7 reviews **★★★★★ — Kristin, April 2021** > John was responsive, kind and proactive in his consultation and communication. I talked to several other contractors about a job we were considering and John, more than others, understood the scope and circumstances, made helpful and money saving suggestions, didn't pressure or upsale, and gave me the overall impression that I was in good hands. He did much to alleviate the anxiety that goes with such situations and I would be confident recommending him to any of my friends and family. In fact, I hope to work with JSBA on projects in the future! **★★★★★ — Alan Braithwaite, Sept. 2020** > John is excellent to work with. Listens well and works hard to understand your needs. Clearly very experienced, he discusses and reviews all options including alternatives that may not require his services. Pleasure to work and we would work with him again. **Comment from JSBA Architecture & Planning:** > Thank you. We look forward to being of service to you and your families' changing needs. **★★★★★ — Rika Koh-Cudney, Aug. 2020** > I called JSBA for some help with my home's exterior. John was happy to suggest and give me advice on the ideas I had stewing. I really appreciated it! **Comment from JSBA Architecture & Planning:** > Thank you Rika. Call or message anytime and we will help you make your home look new! **★★★★★ — The Kaufman Collaborative, June 2020** > John is a very talented architect and colleague whom I have known for three years. Together we have collaborated on a weekly basis regarding a wide variety of project types as well as the business of architecture in general. He is constantly searching for new and improved means and methods to provide quality service to his clients. I find him to be a great teacher, a good listener and his counsel is of great worth. I highly recommend John and his firm (JSBA Architecture & Planning) without hesitation for anyone looking for quality design and a professional relationship with an outstanding architect. **Comment from JSBA Architecture & Planning:** > Thank you Rick. I enjoy our ongoing collaboration and the enhanced quality and service it brings to our clients! **★★★★★ — Dennis Slough, March 2020** > I hired JSBA 18 months ago for an onsite consultation. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. I used this consultation to fix up my plans for an $80,000 renovation to my downtown SLC condo, which included updated kitchen and bath, a floorplan change, new 1/2 bath, new furnace and windows. I learned a lot during this consultation including design problems that would get me into trouble and a more realistic budget. The renovation happened last winter (2018-2019) I'm very happy with the results and the advice I got from JSBA. **★★★★ — Janice Collins, April 2018** > Satisfactory work and designs provided for the remodel of our home and the addition of the garage. Replied timely to questions and requests. **Comment from JSBA Architecture & Planning:** > We have enjoyed working with you on your project and responding to your evolving situation with high-quality solutions. Our goal is to have you be pleased with and enjoy the final results of your project for many years into the future. Please contact us directly so that we can resolve your issues.
