As a designer, I feel confident referring his company knowing that their craftsmanship is of the highest standard and each vendor is reliable and pleasant to work with. I always appreciate his ability to be flexible for all of my client's needs. **★★★★★ — James Watson, Dec. 2018** > Paul and crew did a fantastic job on our place. We took out a load- bearing wall and put in a new kitchen along with several other projects. From the very initial conversations Paul patiently guided us and worked within our budget and helped us make the right decisions. Though the price was very reasonable the work was impeccable. Can't Recommend them highly enough! **★★★★★ — American Porch, LLC, Dec. 2014** > We've had the pleasure of working with Paul on a project in IL last summer. Our experience with Building Vision was a very positive one, and would happily recommend them. Thanks! **★★★★★ — Barb Butz, July 2014** > Building Vision helped reconfigure elements of my kitchen and remodeled (gutted it) completely. I could not be more pleased with the excellent craftsmanship, design, professionalism, and delivery. ## Selected projects - [Evanston Transitional Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/evanston-transitional-kitchen-pj-vj~5511133) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Evanston Kitchen Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/evanston-kitchen-addition-pj-vj~5511102) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Highland Park Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/highland-park-bath-pj-vj~5511080) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Chicago Townhouse Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chicago-townhouse-kitchen-pj-vj~5511053) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Wilmette Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wilmette-kitchen-pj-vj~1994484) - Location: Wilmette, IL - Photos: 6 - Description: These homeowners wanted to update their kitchen and improve traffic flow to the living room in the back of the house, rather than walking through the dining room and around the table. Their new kitchen absorbed the dining room and connects seamlessly with the living room and front room, providing ample sight lines throughout the first floor, while retaining privacy in some areas, and keeping foot traffic out of the cooking area. - [Evanston Mudroom](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/evanston-mudroom-pj-vj~447891) - Location: Evanston, IL - Photos: 9 - Description: Mudroom - [Evanston Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/evanston-bath-pj-vj~399473) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Chicago Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/chicago-kitchen-pj-vj~399319) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Highland Park - Complete House Restoration](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/highland-park-complete-house-restoration-pj-vj~10694) - Location: Highland Park, IL - Photos: 11 - Description: This entire house was flooded by a frozen water pipe, gutted and rebuilt. - [Wilmette Basement Rec Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wilmette-basement-rec-room-pj-vj~216910) - Location: Wilmette, IL - Photos: 3 - [Traditional Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-kitchen-pj-vj~217729) - Location: Evanston, IL - Photos: 9 - Description: We designed and remodeled this Evanston kitchen with inset cabinet doors and drawers, Silestone countertops, a Viking range and microhood, and hardwood floors. - [Evanston Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/evanston-kitchen-pj-vj~338829) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 15 - [Front Facade](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/front-facade-pj-vj~115048) - Location: Wilmette, IL - Photos: 4 - Description: Created new entry portico. - [Skokie Modern Accessible Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/skokie-modern-accessible-bath-pj-vj~218264) - Location: Skokie, IL - Photos: 6 - Description: Modern accessibility bath featuring a curbless shower. - [Wilmette Basement Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wilmette-basement-bath-pj-vj~216889) - Location: Wilmette, IL - Photos: 7 - [Mount Prospect Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mount-prospect-kitchen-pj-vj~225062) - Location: Mount Prospect, IL - Photos: 6 - Description: This kitchen facelift in Mount Prospect left appliances in existing locations but upgraded cabinets and countertops, and converted a built-in pantry into butler-service style cabinetry and counter space. - [Ray Traces](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ray-traces-pj-vj~559618) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - Description: Our software can generate 3D images that incorporate the actual products you select for your project, helping you see what the finished space will look like before the work starts.
