Testimonials

Large Detached Garage Addition

"Leslie was a pleasure to work with. His knowledge and skill base for construction really shined through during our design build. Being in commercial construction myself it became clear to be that Lee not only knew what I was looking for but also put it to paper on the first go around. I would highly recommend him for anyone who is looking to have some drafting done. Please feel free to contact me if you have any concerns whatsoever about his professionalism. He was a Rockstar throughout our project and i feel extremely confident in referring him to others."

House plan needing further development 

"Lee, is an awesome talented guy and super patient. He cares more about getting it done right then just getting it done. I found that his experience really helped me understand that some of my ideas just wouldn't work and when I did realize this, he came up with great solutions that kept the project quality and intent intact and moving forward. Looking forward to working with him again."

Design an Addition

"Lee has done an amazing job designing an addition that works with our existing house. We had ideas in mind but Lee was able to take the best parts of all of them and come up with a design you'd see on HDTV or a magazine. He always made himself available to answer our questions, even despite our time difference. His strong communication skills helped us come up with a great design. If we need more design work done, we will go with Lee."

Draft plans for residential home

"Leslie Shawn Keene was a true professional from the beginning of this project to the very end. Even though we had to overcome obstacles he did a great job of staying on top of everything and making sure it got done on time. This design was for our primary residence and the amount of care and effort Lee put into his work was amazing. Trust is everything in these relationships and he earned it right from the start and now in the end. As any build goes there will be changes and I know I have Lee in my corner to help guide through completion."

I would recommend Leslie to anyone needing a designer."

Residential drafting - existing 2d floorpans to full building plans - North Carolina

"Mr. Keene was exactly the professional we needed. I was thankful to find him with a place in his schedule to accommodate us as quickly as he could. His promise to be available for discussion(s) regarding revisions, questions, recommendations etc. was kept flawlessly - even though I knew he was working with multiple clients. A 9am conference call happened at 9am - every time. At the time of this feedback, we have not completed the permitting process, but his assurance to continue communicating with me and to provide any needed modification is a great comfort. His suggestions were thoughtful and backed by his extensive construction experience. That said, he was never pushy, and when we wanted to revert one portion back to an original design - he delivered with no reservations (or added fees!). Highly recommended."
