Structural Engineering Companies in Hinsdale

“Working with Jimmy Crisp and his associates was a great and valuable learning experience that could not have turned out better than it did. Jimmy truly met, and in many instances, went beyond our expectations. The project, which was a complete gut renovation, went very smoothly and it did come in on budget with the exception of new items that were included after our original quote. Of course there were differences of opinions and long discussions about changes/desired outcomes and new costs, however, I would say that because of Jimmy's constant presence at the site, complete knowledge of exactly what was suppose to happen at all stages of the project and calm manner we escaped situations that could, at the time, have been less satisfactory. Jimmy, the associates and clerical employees of his firm are all a 10 in my book! My experience with Crisp Architects makes me believe that anyone seeking a great architect, backed by a most professional staff, could not do better than to choose Crisp Architects.”

“I was the general contractor on a small log cabin remodel that Chris Vlcek of Littlewolf Architecture did all the design work for. Chirs is great to work with as a Contractor and The homeowners loved the finished product.”

“GRD is David Potter. David is a joy to work with. He is responsive, pragmatic, and incredibly commercial, meaning he is not an "in the clouds" designer but able to tackle a design undertaking thinking through all the way through to fabrication. He is at home in the building material resources as he is in Conceptual Design or actual CAD work where he excels. Full package; Design, CD's, and construction monitoring. Having a very expensive, conceptual design experience prior to working with David, his pragmatic approach was an oasis we desperately needed. The best part of working with David is he offers ideas with no regret or client guilt trip when the client decides to pursue a different tack. He realizes the client has the ultimate call. David brought the same energy and responsiveness to add-on projects as he did to the original 5000 sf house project.”

“Greenright does great work at a reasonable price. I am a remodeling contractor who has worked with them on several projects and continue to work with them. The drawings are timely and thorough and I certainly recommend their services”

“I highly recommend DRC ARCHITECT. They are a professional, honest firm. I give a 5 ⭐️ rating to this firm!”

“We had long admired the work of this talented duo (Ann McCallum and Andy Burr) and had especially enjoyed the success they had creating the Porches Hotel in North Adams, MA, which had a decidedly Mid-Century vibe. When we bought our little 1950's Cape in Williamstown we knew they'd be the perfect choice to update the house and convert it into an idyllic weekend and Summer retreat. Our goal was to remain true to the building's original mid-century roots and add a contemporary vibe at the same time. Working with a very modest budget, Burr & McCallum came up with a wonderful (and affordable) way to add a shed dormer, open up the interior, create a master bath and utilize standard materials (like Pella windows and IKEA kitchen cabinets) that gave us the look we wanted, yet stayed within our agreed to budget. They helped us identify and work with a great local contractor (Vince Martel) and were shoulder to shoulder with us throughout the process. They even brought a colorist in to ensure we got the bright, fun, cheery palette for the house that we desired. It was a really great collaboration -- they were wonderful listeners and always found a way to take our input and ideas and make them even better. In the end we got exactly the house we had hoped for and we credit that to the vision, talents and thoughtful approach that Ann and Andy use. I'm pleased to say that even though the house is a renovation and very modest in size and scope, it's been featured in Boston Magazine, Better Homes & Gardens and elsewhere. We can't say enough good things about this firm and recommend them highly.”

“Beautifully designed and constructed furniture; his work is incredibly artistic and unique. Nick is a pleasure to work with and incredibly talented.”

“It is my second time around with Scot, this time for his advice on rebuilding a 522 sq. ft. deck/separate balcony with staircase and to lock in a reputable builder, in record time. What might sound like hyperbole referencing anyone else is exactly right for him. Scot's opinions are elegant, timeless, finely expressed and understated, proportional, interconnected and lightening-fast. In addition to his esthetic sense and professional skills, he is caring and unfailingly generous with his time and spirit.”

“Working with Bill is like working with a best friend, he tells you like it is, not necessarily what you want to hear. This is a great trait for an Architect since the goal is to live happily and serenely with what has been done right the first time, not to live with the mistakes that you, as the home owner, thought would be best! He knows all there is to know about foundation work, framing, electrical, mechanical and the all important esthetics of a project. He makes it all look so easy too, he is patient, kind and politely assertive when necessary (and I am so glad I listened to him and did it "his" way on 2 occasions because he was absolutely right!) Building a house can be a onerous, unpleasant task but NOT if you have Bill Wallace working for you. His attention to detail is legion, as is his work ethic. He returns all calls, answers all questions, works within budget, completes all tasks within the agreed upon time frame,and does so always with a smile! He has planned 2 beautiful and comfortable homes for me, a Cape Cod and a Craftsman, both are a testament to his incredible abilities. I only wish I had another home to build... he would be the first person I would call.”
