What our clients say about
their On-Line Design experience with
us.........
 | "Mr.. Davey. Good news. It looks like you have become our first
choice. We have been mega impressed with your quick response and hot tips from
your website." |
-
When looking on the internet for an Architectural service, my brother and I
did a lot of research. We found that most providers were confident in
dealing with their own country. It took many of the respondents several
days to reply with openness when taking up the challenge of a project all the
way from the beautiful island of Bermuda. Mr. Davey, however, took on
the challenge and replied right away. He has forged a creative path over
the web for merging technology and architecture. Giving insightful ideas
for change, sound structural attention to detail (as per Bermuda laws), and
posted, as well as, completed the project in a timely fashion.
-
We have been very pleased with the final project and hope to send you more
work from Bermuda. Thanks so much for bridging the gap across the
Atlantic ocean and being apart of making our family dream come true. The
challenge complete. - Luann and Ken Wainwright View

| "Seven
years ago, Dennis Davey made a presentation to our students in the middle school
on career day. I thought at the time that if I ever needed the services of an
architect, I’d certainly like to work with him. Last year we were ready to
design a beach house that ultimately would be our retirement home. The
development covenants were strict, and the Texas windstorm requirements were
even stricter. Dennis followed the guidelines faultlessly. It was great to check
the progress on line. Changes were made quickly. Since the house was to be built
2500 miles away, the developer and the builder were able to check on the plans
easily. We also enjoyed sharing our plans with family and friends all over the
country. The final plans were ready right on schedule and are exactly what we
wanted. |
-
I wanted to tell you that the thing I appreciated most about working with you
was your response to my requests. Not just the changing of a wall or doorway,
but I appreciated your explanations of why changes needed to be made, or what
the consequences would be if something was changed. I appreciated your comments
about lower costs by building one way or another. Thanks for a great job. We are
so pleased" - Linda and Jack Sharlow View

| "Dennis has found a great way to make architectural expertise
available to those too far away to visit him personally. He provided prompt and
frank answers to my (e-mail) questions and helpful suggestions when necessary -
without me having to take time off of work to drive across town to an office. I
would recommend Dennis to anyone contemplating the design of a residential
unit." - Richard Stadtherr View

| Thank you for making the design and planning of our new home an easy
process. Your "on-line design" approach with "3 D
walkthrough" helped ensure we were comfortable with our final house
layout, and exterior look before proceeding with our final plans and specs.
Being able to see our conceptual ideas come to life from all angles and
elevations, and experimenting with different floor layouts helped ensure we
were making the right decisions regarding our new home. I would highly
recommend your services for anyone designing a new home. Thanks again for
all your help." - Andrew and Antoinette Webster View

| "For
a year my wife and I had thought about and planned for a dream house before we
jumped into making it a reality. Using the Broderbund 3D Home Architect program
we played with ideas and designs repeatedly. We analyzed our likes and dislikes,
played with traffic patterns and refined our wants until at the end we had run
through twenty-eight different floor plans. In short, we had invested a great
deal of effort into getting just what we wanted laid out on paper. When it came
time for an architect to turn our dream ideas into the hard reality of plans we
were not sure where to turn. Then I came across Mr. Dennis Davey's web site:
www.dennisdavey.com. Reading the site, we saw that his prices were very
reasonable and that he could work with the computer drawings we already had.
That is when we decided to try his service. |
-
It was a very good decision. He looked at our plans and had a number of good
suggestions. He was very flexible when some contracting problems led to us
having to change both lot and floor plan. He took the floor plan we had designed
and turned it into beautiful elevations that will fit wonderfully into our new
neighborhood. Our builder had contacted Mr. Davey to discuss some details, and
at our bidding meeting, the builder commented enthusiastically on Mr. Davey's
experience, professionalism and friendliness.
-
Overall we could not be more pleased and we heartily recommend Mr. Davey and
www.dennisdavey.com to anyone who is searching for architectural services."

| "It was great to be
able to see the house in 3D from several angles and in
color. The convenience of using the net was helpful as well as the ability
to quickly see the impact of requested changes in the design. The house
turned out looking just like the pictures we saw on the net." - Stephanie
& Bill Tremko View design |
| "I would just like to say that being able to view your design ideas
online was a great concept. Often it's difficult to picture the way someone
describes something or waiting for floor plans can be a lengthy process, but
being able to see your ideas almost immediately, and also having the ability
to make changes almost immediately made this process a fun and exciting time
for my wife and myself.. Thanks again Dennis !!" - Bob

"We're also hoping to finalize our properly purchase soon, which
will enable us to engage with our builder, finalize our plans, and move
towards construction drawings. In fact, I've already asked our primary
candidate for builder to look at the current plans and he was pleased with
the "clean lines and layout" of your design." - Greg
& Dianna Calfin View Design |

"The
3D viewing was awesome. The virtual walk through made it much easier to
visualize how our house would look. We had to make quite a few changes to our
design. The net allows us to quickly see the impact of the requested changes in
the design without face to face meeting. In fact, we were Dennis' virtual
customer. We had our design done without ever meeting Dennis." - Hong
& Linda Cham |
| "We would like to
take this opportunity to tell you how much we appreciate your help in getting
our house plans finalized. As you know, we were living in Indonesia at the time
that we were working with you on our plans. Being that far away, your website
proved to be invaluable. We could e-mail you questions and suggestions, and
shortly after that could check the results of our comments by reviewing revised
plans on the website. Without this service it would have been a very time
consuming process to reach a final consensus on our plans. In addition, your
personal insight regarding how we wanted to use our home resulted in final plans
that we believe will result in the house that we have always wanted." - Pam

"Our
experience with Dennis architecting the addition to our home was excellent. He
created the designs ahead of schedule, and was very responsive to all of our
questions and modifications. Dennis understood our requirements well, and we are
very happy with the resulting designs. The online (Internet) viewing capability
was great. It made it much easier to visualize how our house would look, and
also allowed for wonderful flexibility. For example, we asked for three
different variations of "looks" for the front of our addition. We were
able to see all three possibilities, and pick our favorite, prior to Dennis
creating all of the detailed plans. Dennis is a nice, honest person, and our
meetings with him were very positive. We were very happy with Dennis, and we
would certainly recommend him to anyone." - Ann & Tony

| "When
my husband and I started the process of building a home, we had no idea were to
start looking for an architect.
|
-
We
looked in the yellow pages, asked a few people we knew, but weren’t impressed
with what we came up with. Being
somewhat of a computer nut, I started searching around the internet and came
across "www.dennisdavey.com".
-
Dennis' site provided us with very specific information about him, his
company, what services he could provide and approximate pricing based on square
footage. Everything we were looking
for right there at our fingertips, without having to make a million phone calls
and setup a million meetings!
-
First
meeting, was reviewing our plans, (we had a picture of the basic house we were
looking to build). Then we discussed, our "definite
needs" and our "we
could live withouts", and all the while Dennis showed a willingness
to "tweak" our plans as we wished, staying within code guidelines for
the state of Connecticut and
within our budget.
-
Once
he started the plans, we e-mailed each other almost daily, with questions, plan
changes, deadline information, etc. We found this to be a wonderful vehicle of
communication, because I'm on my computer all day long, so questions and answers
were responded to quickly. We were working with a tight deadline and Dennis was
able to meet that timeframe with no problem.
-
Once
he completed the first draft of our plans, we were able to take a
"virtual" walk through by logging onto his website.
We could view every inch of every room and found this to be helpful to us
in making modifications and to say the least, very impressive and fun!
Our builder was also able to view the "virtual" drawing and he
was very excited to have this access as well.
-
We
found Dennis' pricing to be competitive with other architect firms we inquired
with, and found our experience with Dennis
Davey, AIA, to be both pleasant and educational"

| "I was desperate to correct a problem that arose in the course of my
building project. In my desperation I went on line and found Dennis Davey who
calmly listened to the problem and proposed a fairly simple solution. He was efficient,
affordable, prompt and responsible and I'm trusting that his solution will work.
I will be installing it, as per his direction, next month." - Andi

| "We
approached Dennis recently to design an addition for our home. Since we had also
worked together to design our original home, we were aware of the multiple phone
calls and meetings required to work and rework designs. Upon talking to Dennis,
however, we were amazed at how automated the process had become, and pleasantly
surprised at the resulting efficiency. Plans and reworks were received much
faster, and time intensive face to face meetings were replaced by e-mails. The
apparent ease by which Dennis could make changes on-line enabled us to explore
more "what if" scenarios, ensuring that we were satisfied with the
final product. In a nutshell, the internet application made the experience much
more pleasurable and manageable." - Elaine & Richard

"After
a month long search - a personal referral from my parents for Dennis Davey came
to me. I was a bit leery of how this would work - an online architect? I was
requested to take pictures of the interior and exterior of my house. I sent
along these photos and some information that I was able to obtain from the town
hall on the basic dimensions of my house. A few days later - I received an email
asking me to view my current house plans off of the online design center. I was
completely impressed - here was my house almost exactly laid out! We went
through several different design layouts until I got what I was looking for. I
would get some requests for additional photos or measurements along the way -
all of which I could do on my own time. Each new scheme was located off of the
website which allowed me to access this easily and quickly from the comfort of
my office. I was also able to share and get ideas from colleagues and family - I
just sent them the URL. I had inputs from Massachusetts, Connecticut and as far
away as Galway Ireland. I just received my official plans in the mail. The whole
process went fairly smoothly." - Donna Reynolds View
