We held multiple remote working sessions online and we were able to quickly collaborate and design to our style and to our needs. For an experienced draftsman in and around SLC, Jackson at House Draft Studio will surely deliver. We can't wait to move into our new home!

I am so glad that I found Jackson at House Draft Studios. He took a list of things we wanted in our…read morenew house, and designed an awesome custom home for us. He is knowledgeable, responsive, and communicates well. He had lots of great ideas, which really helped because we had no experience, but were in a hurry to start building. He listened to our ideas and wishes too, and made them happen. We asked for lots of little changes along the way, and some big changes too. Jackson was very patient and and happy to make sure we got what we wanted and what we could afford. The price was great, and the plans very detailed. Our contractor was impressed at the amount of detail, which says a lot.

We built with Country West over 2 yrs ago, and to be honest, the experience was a little rough. We…read morehardly met face to face with anyone throughout the process...they took the dirt from digging the foundation and sold it to someone else...leaving us with nothing to grade with, forcing us to have to bring in 12 dump truck loads of dirt (not cheap), and the finishing work ran into some hiccups as well. The framing was not straight in our bonus room, and after bringing it to their attention may times...they did nothing about it...then the Sheetrock and finishing guys proceeded to throw up the drywall and baseboards. Still, nothing was done about the warped studs and nothing was flush. The wall looked like an elephant was leaning against it on the other side and it was caving in. I could stick my finger in between the drywall and the base board. It was pretty bad. Once we finally got over that hurdle, they tried to close the house on us prematurely. The finish work was maybe 90% done at the time? That was very disappointing to us. I wish the experience was a bit smoother. Do we love our house? You bet we do. There were just a few things that we wish had gone smoother, more responsibility from them, and more face to face time from Country West. If they improved their customer service experience a bit, i think they'll have it.

We recently moved into our new home that was built by Country West. This was not our first home…read morethat we have built and our experience was as good if not better than expected. We checked with other builders before and felt we were not getting as much bang for our buck as we expected. Country West allowed us to work directly with the Architect on the plans to make some changes to make this home ours and not just a cookie cutter plan. We worked with the sub contractors directly which gave us a tremendous amount of flexibility in how the finish product came out. All of the sub contractors were very professional and when my wife had to meet with them on her own they showed her a lot of respect. All of the subcontractors were what I would consider smaller home grown subcontractors. We liked this because they seemed to take a lot of pride in their work and it showed in the finished product. Flexibility was paramount with this builder. Many builders meet with you and then you can't make changes down the road. I know this probably drives these guys crazy at times but they never show it. We were given a contact for the financing early on in the process which proved to be a huge benefit. Our closing went smooth because of their thoroughness through the whole process. Like anything it was not all smooth sailing and we ran into a few snags but how the builder responded makes all the difference. Because we had built a home before we knew that the process is very involved and there were bound to be a few glitches. They were quick to respond and make the corrections quickly. Hopefully we never have build again, only because we really like where we are at now, but if we do we will definitely give Country West a call on our next home.

We wanted to redesign our front yard and backyard and contacted Norm. He was professional and…read moreexperienced in design and had great ideas for my wife and I to consider. Norm talked to us about what we wanted and measured both the front and back yards. His design was comprehensive and easy to understand. He provided samples of trees, shrubs, hardscape and all elements for us to consider. Norm is personable and has integrity. We both would highly recommend his services. His price was very reasonable and the final design exceeded our expectations.

His artistic presentation is again - WORLD CLASS. I look forward to a long relationship working with Norman on future projects and cannot recommend him enough. He is a rare talent indeed!
