Omar Mizra responded to my text, and we arranged a meeting for the next day. Upon meeting with Omar, I discussed with him what I needed to be done. He listened carefully to my expectations and project information and came up with a very reasonable price. My project was completed in record time and revisions by the structural engineer was prompt and fast. I paid two fees one for Omar and one to the structural engineering firm. This was needed because of the requirements of the car canopies as well as installation requirements as set forth by the building department. Omar recommended and we worked with Bill Wong of Asia Pacific Architectural Consultants. Back and forth communication was done thru e mail with Mr. Wong and I was amazed with the progress of my job. Everything was completed with revisions done by Omar and Bill Wong in record time. From start to finish, starting with my meeting with Omar and getting that Approved stamp by the building department took only 5 and a half weeks!! Both Drafting Hawaii and Asia Pacific Architectural Consultants deserve a big hi five for a job well done!

We've really enjoyed working with Noland as our draftsman on Oahu for several small projects that…read morerequired permits. Many architects won't take on smaller jobs like small additions or decks, and Noland has been a great resource - always willing to help. It's been a very collaborative process - and we truly appreciate his knowledge, professionalism, and easy communication throughout. Noland has been a great partner when it comes to navigating the permit process on Oahu. He understands the local requirements through real experience, is thoughtful in his approach, and helps keep things moving in the right direction. That kind of reliability makes a big difference.

Upon deciding to move into my wife's grandparents' home, we needed to go through a complete renovation/remodel. We were very nervous given all of the concerns about delays with DPP and being able to get the project done in time for us to move in with our young family. We are incredibly grateful for Bill's help in navigating this journey. To keep things to the point: 1. Bill is very punctual and timely both with regard to meetings and his estimate for the project schedule. 2. All of his years/decades of experience really proved valuable, steering us away from potential pitfalls as well as providing helpful suggestions. 3. Bill listens. Given our list of needs and wants, he was able to come up with a set of plans that worked for our family. 4. His design really helped us preserve the original feel of the home (my wife's grandparents were the original owners of the home) and still provide us with all the modern day comforts. 5. Besides serving as our architect, he also did a wonderful job as our project manager. With his help and supervision, we were able to find the right contractors, make smart design choices, and push the schedule along in order move the project along. To sum things up, we were really worried about choosing the right person and team to help us our project. We are so blessed to have chosen Bill to help us out.

During construction her consistent onsite visits ensured the contractors were following the details in the plans especially when it came to waterproofing.
