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.

Ross Land Studio
Drafting Companies in Cedar Rapids
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 18, 2024
“Ross Land studio has been wonderful to work with! We have a difficult site in New York that needed an upgrade and Natalie delivered a perfect solution that was elegant and also functional, helping to address some of the water issues we have. She helped us get through the historic review process in our small town and brought unique ideas to every design session. She also helped us find contractors and get the project from vision into reality! Highly recommend!”
Winkel Design Forum - Aibd

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 10, 2013
“Winkel Design Forum designed a beautiful home to fit on a pie shaped lot with a 12 foot drop off 30 feet from the back of the house. They used the lot angle to create the same angle in the design of the house utilizing the lot angle down to within an inch of the legal setback. Others would have said the square footage we wanted could not be done!”
