**★★★★★ — Randy Future Equity Properties LLC, Oct. 2019**

> Creative talent with an unerring eye for beauty, mastery of proportion, and nuanced attention to detail.  Jim and his colleagues at FWC have these essential attributes in abundance.  What further sets them apart, however, is their skillful communication, efficiency and a calming sense of practicality, all laced with kindness and patience.  By taking the time to develop personal relationships, both with their clientele and with other leaders and members of the communities within which they practice, this firm has deservedly garnered a reputation for excellence and the trust of their clientele and the others with whom they work.  We have had the pleasure of receiving Jim's guidance on several projects at properties owned by our small company, and we will unhesitatingly rely on Jim and his colleagues for any and all of our future needs for architectural services.

**Comment from FWC Architects, Inc.:**

> Randy - thank you for your kind words. We too, have enjoyed working with you and look forward to many more projects with you!

**★★★★★ — SDW, Oct. 2019**

> We had a great experience working with FWC on our new construction project.  They asked great questions up front to ensure the home was built around our needs and preferences.  Everything was completed on time and we love the finished product.

**Comment from FWC Architects, Inc.:**

> Thank you so much for your kind words. We enjoyed working with you and are so pleased you enjoy your beautiful new home!

**★★★★★ — bill5321, Sept. 2016**

> My husband and I are very glad for selecting FWC Architects to provide the architectural services for our new home. The entire team was very professional, knowledgeable, deadline and budget driven, acted with integrity, listened very well to our requests and feedback, and throughout the entire process strived to please us, the customer. The presentation given by Jim Chambers to the city's Building Review Board for obtaining the building permit was outstanding -- contrary to many people's opinion that it would take several meetings to obtain the permit, Jim's presentation was so well balanced with details and supportive facts that the permit was obtained during the first meeting. Jim's artistic inclination is reflected throughout the entire house. The functionality and the beautiful interior and exterior design are so well blended together that make the house look bigger than it is and it has a very practical flow and room layout -- quiet vs. activity areas, abundance of natural light throughout the entire house, lots of closets due to maximizing the space usage. Overall, we are very happy with everything we got, including the cost, during the entire process. Actually, we are so pleased that recently we have just selected FWC Architects again for the architectural services of a new project.

**Comment from FWC Architects, Inc.:**

> We appreciate your kind words and were pleased to create a home you love!

**★★★★★ — Doors For Builders Inc, Nov. 2013**

> We worked closely with Jim of FWC Architects on a beautiful home project recently.  Jim is a true professional – working with him and his company is of great pleasure.  FWC Architects are very efficient at what they do and you can be sure that all of your ideas and wishes will be heard.  We recommend Jim and FWC Architects confidently to everyone seeking help of a professional architect.

**Comment from FWC Architects, Inc.:**

> Thank you for the recommendation. We appreciate your kind words about our services.

## Community Q&A

**Q: What paint color and stain color were used on the cabinets?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Sorry,the paint & stain colors were selected by in interior designer - who is no longer in the area.

**Q: Where can I get that stove top?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Love the stove!

A: I believe the owner or interior designer made the appliance selections.  Many of our clients in the Chicago area get their appliances from Abt Electronics.
