He listens closely and works collaboratively to help make sure our goals/vision were met, and demonstrated the highest degree of expertise and professionalism throughout the process. No detail was too small to make sure the resulting plans reflect exactly what we wanted for the home. He brought creative ideas and a deep knowledge of the modern architectural style we wanted. We are also working with Celaya Interiors to design the interior and finishes. Marc and Esthela work very well together, resulting in a cohesive and aligned design. We can’t wait for the house to be built! > > Sandy & Bob Marjan **★★★★★ — eehpatio01, Jan. 2013** > We have provided fireplaces to many homes that Process Design has built over several years. We have found this company to be very professional and genuinely concerned for the best end product for their customers. We work with many, many homebuilders and we feel Process Design Build and Bill Updike are among the best. **★★★★★ — Soloway Designs Inc \| Architecture + Interiors AIA, Jan. 2013** > I've know Bill and Process Design build since their inception in 2003. Bill's construction company has built over seven projects that I have designed thru my firm, Soloway Designs. > > Not only do the homes come out incredible with the highest quality, Bill is unbelievable to work with.

He is very hands on and always addressed everything that we requested. And he continues to help us with anything that relates to the house. We love our house and feel lucky that we had a good relationship with our builder. We would recommend him. Alan and Mary Levin **★★★★★ — mikensue, Dec. 2012** > Process Design Build, L.L.C originally built our house. Later we had a window wall installed. Most recently, Process Design completed a Casita for us. Obviously, we have had extensive experience with this company and are very pleased with the work they perform. Specifically, they alway go the extra mile to insure that the customer is totally satisfied before the work is considered completed. The owner, Bill Updike, is always accessible and listens to what his customers have to say. He provides the owner with options, including the pros and cons, for any decisions that must be made. He is knowledgeable and goes the extra mile to provide information. He attempts to review the subs work and correct any problems before the owner is involved. We are happy to give this company our highest recommendation! **★★★★★ — bmya55, Dec. 2012** > Bill Updike from Process Design Build couldn't have done a better job for us as our general contractor. We had an excellent experience from start to finish. We built a custom new home long distance that took approximately two years. Bill worked very well with us and our architect, Marc Soloway from Soloway Designs. He is very professional and demanded the highest in quality from his subcontractors. We couldn't be more pleased with the end result. We give our highest recommendation. ## Selected projects - [Levin II Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/levin-ii-residence-pj-vj~132542) - Location: Marana, AZ - Photos: 35 - Description: Tucson Lifestyle Home & Garden, in partnership with the Southern Arizona Chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA), presents the 2012 Homes of the Year award winner.
