The project completed in early 2017. We are pleased with the outcome, just as we are very pleased to have worked with
Ms. Hardwick.
The project involved a partial gut, basement digout, significant structural and other improvements to a 135-year-old DC
townhouse, with tight spaces and complex design/build challenges. Ms. Hardwick capably guided us through the design and
permitting stages, including navigating through DC's labyrinth-like permit/review/approve process. She developed a
complete compliant design, while avoiding 'hot button' issues with the DC governing entities. She had good command of
(and good judgement about) material types and construction methods. She connected us with competent experts in
essential/related fields (e.g., structural engineers and builders). She also facilitated the coordination with neighbors.
Her design, construction plans and material recommendations factored in sustainability, energy efficiency, and other
environmental considerations. Through all of this, she remained within budget and on schedule. We found Ms. Hardwick to be
competent, capable and a pleasure to do business with.
While we did not seek dedicated/continuous project management support during the construction phase, Ms. Hardwick was more
than willing to come by on an as-needed basis, and did so (during construction), helping nudge our project back on track.
No extra charges (no 'nickel and diming'). She simply responded and helped, and we were appreciative to have her capable
guidance. Ms. Hardwick provided excellent expertise and influence throughout the entire project lifecycle. We would
readily recommend Ms. Hardwick for her design/architect services.
