Joe Simons is an awesome architect. I have been working with him on a Job that is a C1 property for 4 months. His plans and designs are precise, communication and updates, working with the owner of the property, and the contractors, he makes things clear and great followup. Very knowledgeable on all processes of commercial and residential projects.
