Residential Designed Solutions

Simply the best! They were courteous and very interested in finding the best way to design while considering cost, energy efficiency and environmental impact. Incredibly honest and reliable.

Jim Wirght is an architectural purist when it comes to designing homes. His attention to detail in form and function is very evident in his renditions. My wife and I bought one of the pre-designed French Country home plans and got him to customize it to our needs. Unfortunately, the Village of New Albany where we were planning to build had its own design guidelines, which required the homes to conform to certain themes like Colonial American Architectural Precedence (Georgian, colonial revival, Farmhouses for example). And we had to start all over because the village did not like our French Country home style. Jim went above and beyond to make the necessary elevation and massing changes to conform to New Albany zoning. Throughout the process he accommodated our wishes and incorporated them into the design of our home. I believe we now have a very unique and functional farmhouse design that looks great on paper. With the grace of God, we are really looking forward to see this materialize.

We loved the exterior design plans. Have used one as inspiration for our exterior home remodel. He worked with us to discuss our ideas but also had some wonderful alternative ideas as well. Plans were well developed and appeared unique to our style.

I have worked with Jim for many years as a builder and am now in the process of renovating my personal home with him. He is VERY creative and professional, always has good ideas and adds a lot of value. I recommend him on a regular basis to friends and other builders.

It was enjoyable experience to work with Residential Designed Solutions to plan and design our dream home. It started with interview to understand our life style and requirement. We had couple of follow meetings to review the plan and the options. The meeting was very effective and useful to understand the impact of each scenario to the layout, flow, and the cost. After living there for a while, we appreciate our house more from all aspects, space utilization, layout, site view, and the flow. For sure for our next house (Downsizing) we will work with Residential Design Solution.

Fantastic, Jim provided us with an ingenious solution to a challenging problem. Instead of option H or option W, he found a third option that opened up space and made the existing area much more functional. While meeting the needs of both my wife and me: THANX !

Jim not only helped design our Luxurious Dream Home designed specifically for our unique family (8 Year old Triplets plus a 9 Year old), but he also walked us through every step of the process. Jim was on site many times to inspect the home and was always available when we needed to speak with him. Jim Wright is an honest, intelligent & reputable man. Our Family highly recommends him.

Jim was great to work with. Took our ideas and expanded upon them with his years of experience. Thoughtful designs. Provided excellent feedback and recommendations when it came to construction contractors to work with. Would work with him again given the opportunity.

Jim came recommended to me by my General Contractor. And helped us in a difficult situation. Jim is a true professional and his knowledge in the industry is second to none. I would highly recommend Jim for any architectural project big or small.

Jim was wonderful to work with from the very beginning. He listened to what we were looking for and gave us the home of our dreams. He was open to listening to our changes and in the end we have gotten exactly what we were looking for. He was very professional every step of the way.

We were in the middle of a remodel when our house collapsed. I had to get options together as to rebuild on to what was left of our home or to tear down and start new. I outreached to RDS, spoke to Dominic who took my message, and received a call back in record time. Jim scheduled a visit with his structural engineer within a few days to come out to our site. Jim had me come in to design a sketch to build on to the back of our 1800's brick home. The sketch was amazing and came together very quickly. His design process is simple but thorough and allows for changes that he sketches on the spot. Ultimately, we have made the decision to tear down and build new. We do not have the time for a full customized designed from beginning to end but Jim had solutions for us. I feel confident that he has designed the house of our dreams within our budget. He is knowledgeable about building and associated costs. With little to no timeline, Jim manages to fit us in every time I call. The office staff that I have interacted with are friendly with smiles on their faces. I cannot say enough good things about Residential Designed Solutions. I am thrilled that I found Jim and look forward to working with him to get our new house under way. Thank you Jim! After almost a year, we are going home this week. RDS is amazing and Jim is second to none. Thank you RDS!
