      Great Design

      You have made us involved in every step of the process from the beginning which was like no one we worked with. Great design process involvement.
      To be honest you were the most expensive, yet your job in terms of communication and flexibility is a GREAT asset. KEEP IT UP. so far we look forward to the next design project with you
