Beware as they will not communicate well with you when you need them the most. **★★★★★ — Al Kimick, Oct. 2020** > Mr. Kevin Ngo listened very closely to our well thought out design ideas for our custom home. After he had a very good understanding of what we wanted & needed, he was able to "fine tune" them with practical, excellent suggestions which made a lot of sense. > > He gave us realistic expectations of what was involved to get the DP & BP approved by the City. He had good knowledge of & working relationships with all the relevant City departments, and effectively contacted them as needed on our behalf. > > During the build which took over one year, he was always responsive to discussing &/or promptly coming to the site to discuss and find solutions to the inevitable "glitches" of the build. > > We had a very good experience with Mr. Ngo and highly recommend him and his company to anyone who needs a home designer. **★★★★★ — Duncan McLuckie, July 2018** > Kevin designed a custom home for us on a corner lot. From our initial consultation he seemed to just "get" our style and understood our priorities. He came up with a design that was not at all what we expected, but as we processed it we were blown away by it's uniqueness, flow, and layout. Kevin really did think of everything and other than tweaks to square foot nothing could be improved on. We cannot wait to see the final product once built. **Comment from k5 design:** > Thank you for the AWESOME review Mr Duncan. I know designers can be a little strange, but if you allow them to do their work, you will be surprised. Cheers. **★★★★★ — Dallas Crist, March 2017** > I used K5 a few times and I will never use another company as they were really accommodating to us. **★★★★★ — Cruz Custom Homes, Sept. 2016** > K5 is an amazing architectural firm and very familiar with the City permit process. Always a pleasure to work with... Kevin has some fantastic items an truly knows how to use space well. Recommend to anyone looking to build a custom home. **★★★★★ — nylng, April 2016** > k5 made the start of the custom home design process a pleasant experience. Kevin was attentive to our requirements while incorporating his creativity and experience into the design. Communicating with Kevin was made easy via various channels, but most of all, he would return phone calls, texts or emails within the day. **★★★★★ — VNC HOME LTD., April 2016** > I am having fun working with k5 design team for the last two projects that my company got. They understand what my mind and direction leaning to and get ready before every meetings we have. ChoosingK5 is one of the most wise step I take in my career as Builder, whenever I need help they are always there for me. **★★★★ — clarayhch, Feb. 2016** > I hired K5 Designs for architectural designs for an infill in Calgary. K5 Designs provides a completent professional knowledge, experience for infill designs and provides referrals to related professional services needed for permits applications. > I highly recommend K5 designs for residential architectural designs and permit application. **Comment from k5 design:** > Miss Clara, thank you for the great review. Myself and the k5 designs team are happy to know that your project is moving along. Cheers. **★★★★★ — mme\_k\_cote, Feb. 2016** > Kevin and his team took my old designs and revamped them according to my specifications, while making them much, much better! His team involved me every step of the way, but took calculated creative risks which always ended up making things just right. Without his expertise, my DP would not have been approved! **Comment from k5 design:** > Thank you for the great review. Myself and the team are excited to know you are happy with our work. Cheers. **★★★★★ — Alex Tran, Jan. 2016** > We hired k5 designs to design our first true custom home and have been very pleased with the quality and service we have received. Before selecting k5, we interviewed other Architectural firms, however, Kevin from k5 designs stuck out as he clearly displayed a passion for design. While the other firms were more than qualified, Kevin seemed to show a design perspective first then try to fit the design within city guidelines, while other firms were vice versa. > > He was easy to work with and responsive to our comments and questions. The process was iterative with the first meeting providing Kevin our entire wish list and subsequent meetings tweaking the plans following our review. > > In the end, Kevin listened to our needs and came up with wonderful design that was beyond our imagination. We walked in with thoughts of what we wanted, but walked out with something much better. We were looking for something modern, but not eccentric. Kevin developed a set of plans which were modern, but as important, functional and unique to other homes we've seen. > > We are happy with the work Kevin did and would not hesitate to recommend his services to others. **Comment from k5 design:** > Thank you for the great review. It is a great feeling when I know my clients are happy with the services we provided. Cheers. **★★★★★ — wendyyw64, Jan. 2016** > We had the pleasure of working with Kevin from K5 Designs who designed our dream home. Kevin was receptive, took the time to listen which helped in capturing our imagination and gave us his professional innovative ideas. Kevin, without exception have always responded efficiently and professionally. We have no hesitation in recommending the services of K5 Designs to anyone requiring architectural design advice. > > D&W Wong **Comment from k5 design:** > Thank you Mr and Mrs Wong for the great review. I hope you both enjoyed the the attached garage and the private patio we designed. Now you don't need to walk outside from your garage and enjoy the outdoor space privately. Cheers. **★★★★★ — john8542, Jan. 2016** > Kevin at K5 Design is the Architect you want to talk to, he is knowledgeable and most importantly, he listens. He designed our house in Altadore and it was the best looking house on the block. I have referred quite a few of my clients to him and they all had a great experience in designing their home. If you want an architect who cares about your project and knows his building codes, Kevin is the guys... **Comment from k5 design:** > Thank you for the great review Mr, John. Like i promised, you will get your house design with the attached garage approved. Now you don't need to walk outside to get into your house.
