We’ve been working with Arlene for the past year! We in the 2025 received plans for our client’s single family house two level new kitchen open plan and second floor master bath remodeling project in the Logan Square neighborhood. The house as historic Victorian frame home was located on the west side of Chicago in the Logan Square neighborhood. This is for us is for our permit as for plans in the City of Chicago, We got the required sheets for our single family home as needed but our client also got it delivered we were able acquire the bids for the review we needed got the M,E,P mechanical, electrical and plumbing bid sheets in record time if under two weeks which is exactly what we needed. We and our clients love our new historic home project plans for our new open plan kitchen and master bath house addition and we will hope to continue working with Arlene in new projects in the new year 2026! -Jonathan Klemm

We are doing interior buildouts as our projects are in large buildings and working with CBRE building managers in which Arlene has always been ready and happily met our deadlines promptly.

I have worked with Arlene on projects in 2022 and known her for the past two years. Arlene is very hands on and provides great information on projects. She brings your artistic side to blueprints! She's been seen in some of the major publications & press releases in the world. And highly credited in her field. I recommend Arlene for your next big or small reconstruction projects."

Commented: help me pick out granite please#3 or 4 is best. I agree with above. The less busy counter provides a better contrast to the multicolor tile. The less busier the better. You'll notice the backsplash, it will stand out more.
