### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Justin Muchado, Jan. 2026**

> We highly recommend Arc1! My wife and I contacted Steve for significant renovations to our home in Calgary after a close friend recommended his services. Steve's attention to detail, professionalism, and work ethic set him apart. He was happy to accommodate and revise our plans numerous times over many weeks (and on the occasional weekend which seems rare in this day and age). He was able to provide expert opinions where my wife and I struggled to see the best option and creative solutions to problems we weren't even aware of (like calculating glass exposure).
> If you need drawings done professionally, promptly and priced very fairly, Steve is your guy!

**★★★★★ — Lisa Chen, Dec. 2025**

> Arc1 Design did an excellent job designing our backyard suite. The design is thoughtful, well-proportioned, and fits seamlessly with the existing home. Steve was professional, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the process. We're very happy with the result and would gladly recommend him.

**★★★★★ — Oleksandr Zavydniak, Dec. 2025**

> Hi everyone! I am owner AA Cabins And Sheds Construction Inc and I was very pleased to work with Steve Stanislavsky. He did an amazing job on the project for me. He completed the work very quickly and efficiently. He handled the work from start to finish, including obtaining development permits and even building permits. I recommend him to everyone.

**★★★★★ — Richard Holman, Dec. 2023**

> From the first meeting I instantly clicked with Steve.  He had strong construction knowledge and a true passion for building design. When he presented the initial design I was thrilled with what he had created. I made very few changes and insisted that he push through with the application as quickly as possible. Steve’s help and advice stretched through into construction. He was always available to clarify any queries.  I found the plans clear, comprehensible and very detailed.  Now living in the home, I can honestly say that engaging Arc1 Design was the best decision that led to straight forward build and an amazing home to live in.

**★★★★★ — Tracy Bowers, Dec. 2023**
