My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Working with BVA was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Ankie and his team are highly talented, knowledgeable, and experienced architects and are a pleasure to work with. We came to them with ideas for an ambitious renovation on a tight timeline, and they rose to the challenge without hesitation. They have a deep understanding of the personal nature of residential projects and work hard to design thoughtful spaces that respond to the individual needs of their clients. We appreciate their thoughtful and beautiful work with each passing month as we continue to settle into our renovated house. I highly recommend this outstanding team of professionals.

As a colleague of Barnes Vanze Architects I can think of few architectural firms that garnish the level of respect and admiration of the profession as this firm merits. Their work has been noted for both its beauty as well as its importance in the development of traditional and classical design on the East Coast. As a result, they have won numerous design awards for their work and have influenced the practice of traditional architecture nation-wide. I highly recommend this firm for its professionalism and its ability to create beautiful and noteworthy architecture.
