Site Planning Companies in Philadelphia

“We hired Cottage Industries to renovate our unfinished basement in Wayne to serve as a multi-functional space for our family of four, including a play space for our two young children, unfinished storage space and closet pantry, kitchenette with mini fridge, an exercise area, and a desk space. We could not be more pleased with the finished product! The process from start to finish was very smooth, including the initial estimating and design process, the kick off meeting, selection and ordering of materials, and the day-to-day work. We really appreciated that we were given multiple design options up front to help maximize the floor plan and work around HVAC vents, sections of the basement with lower ceilings, etc. The Cottage team seamlessly brought on and managed all of the individual subcontractors to complete the water proofing, egress installation, HVAC, flooring, dry wall, electrician, etc. They recommended a vendor for our kitchenette design and materials (cabinets and quartz countertop) who we were very pleased with (responsive, reasonably priced, good selection of materials, etc.). In addition to the kitchenette, Cottage also helped us design a built-in desk area that we could both use when working from home. Cottage was also very flexible allowing us to bring in other vendors if we wanted, such as the painter, who our project manager worked with directly to coordinate scheduling. They were also wonderful liaising with the electricians who installed our new generator that finally arrived in the middle of our renovation after months-long delays. Since I was working from home and pregnant during the project, I really appreciated how much care they put into keeping the rest of the house clean and dust free. We could not have had a better project manager: Jim was on site every day of the project to oversee and actually do a lot of the miscellaneous work himself. Jim’s friendly demeanor and project updates at the end of each day were greatly appreciated. Lastly, we’ve seen enough home renovation shows to know to expect the unexpected with a basement renovation of this scale. When various issues were discovered along the way, the Cottage team immediately informed us of the issues and gave us different options and costs to remedy them. This enabled us to stick to our schedule and original budget as closely as possible without having to worry about these unresolved issues surfacing down the road. We highly recommend Cottage Industries for a basement project like ours or any other complex home renovation project!”

“Subject: Highly creative & fun team with effective project management led to exceptional results. We are extremely pleased with SCD’s efforts to overhaul our property and the only thing we would do differently in the future would be to call them sooner. They completed a whole-house renovation in three months and seamlessly worked through FOUR Winter Nor’easters. Scope included: new two floor addition (vaulted family room with exercise room on floor below), garage expansion, complete exterior makeover (siding, roof, 75 yard driveway, septic expansion, rainwater diversions & drain field, and sidewalk). They also roughed-in some of our new master suite that I’ll be finishing on my own as a hobby. Their quality of work and craftsmanship were exceptional – no corners were cut and they went above and beyond what I would do in most cases. The SCD team is very knowledgeable & creative and they provided several options that we had not considered during the many years of planning & dreaming. Once we decided on what we wanted, the contract was signed and all of our headaches went away – seriously. Their team effectively managed the entire project while we conducted our professional lives without disruption. Their internet-accessible project management software enabled us to always be aware of when things were going to happen and when payments were due. The SCD team is very dedicated to customer satisfaction and they quickly responded when we had questions/concerns. Throughout the process their fun personalities made the experience very enjoyable and it truly was bittersweet when the project ended. Give Pete at Spring Creek Design a call, you won’t be disappointed.”

“When Ed first called on me to assist with his client's TV problem back in 2001, he made it very clear that if I wanted to work with Ed and his firm, that I would need to solve his clients problem within 24 hours. Not a week, not days but one day. At that moment I knew Ed and his builder firm was one I had to work with. When I visit an EB Mahoney site, I never find a ton of debris or trash, the site is always clean. Ed’s Project Managers are an extension of Ed’s professionalism and make my job providing networking, audio and video much easier. Since Ed grew up in the business, there is never any doubt that he knows exactly how to handle a given situation both expeditiously and within budget. I always look forward to working with Ed and his clients. Working with EB Mahoney makes our jobs easier. The quality and management of the construction is top shelf and allows us to bring our products and systems on line in a timely and professional manner. We have been working together for over 15 years and look forward to many more.”
