Statement Concerning CoVid-19
"Necessity is the Mother of Invention" - How true! The need exists to provide excellent services with a 'hands-on' approach regardless of where one lives.
Though projects differ, key things like the design process, gravity, rain, and human needs remain the same.
As the virus knows nothing of geographical and political limitations, we have understood the need to extend past traditional models of practicing architecture especially since needs vary from city to city and state to state.
We will be continuing to offer Architectural and Design Services to all current and potential clients, regardless of their or our location(s). We have adapted our project delivery method to be completely remote for all work from now on.
We have procedures in place to allow us to take on work throughout all 50 states and most countries, remotely and depending on the needs for the specific situations.
When need arises to work with any AHJ / municipality, we have the capability to work locally as well on an as-needed, case-by-case basis.
Any questions? Give me a call at (800)745-6973. We look forward to serving you!
Best regards,
Charles Matthews, Architect

My name is Charles Matthews. I am an architect who started working in and around architecture and design since 1986 formally, but if I look back on my life, I began being interested in construction from the time I was in about fourth grade when I was about 9 years old. It was at that time that my father began to build the house that I would grow up in. [ 423 more words ]
