Lay Ling and her team were a pleasure to work with. Our house was very well designed with some cool and creative features. The design process was very smooth and easy, and we did it all via email, Skype and Whatsapp, with very few hiccups or changes needed.

Lay Ling recommended a great builder who was reliable, consistent, talented and very professional. He also came in right on budget, and completed the project slightly ahead of schedule. I am a Developer, Builder and Broker in Aspen, CO, so I know a lot about construction and design, and overall was very impressed by Lay Ling and her team. I would highly recommend them, and am happy to be contacted by email or phone for a reference.

We were fortunate to work with Lay Ling in creating a custom home that was suited to our lifestyle and tastes, designed well and functional for the Costa Rican climate. During the design phase, Lay Ling listened to all our ideas and provided her expert advice to ensure we got a well-built home. Her methodical approach put us at ease as the plans took shape. Alongside the plans, she provided cost estimates to keep us on track.

Designing our home was just the beginning. Lay Ling managed every aspect of the project from obtaining the permits, recommending the contractor and managing the entire build process from breaking ground to the unique finishing touches.  Although we were in another country for the majority of the build, she kept us in the loop and consulted with us when needed. Lay Ling was always available to answer any questions. She certified all the invoices from the contractor and we looked forward to her weekly progress reports and photographs. We shopped together for many of the materials such as tiles, countertops, fixtures and lighting.

Lay Ling worked with the contractor to keep the project on time and on budget. For us, the entire process went very smoothly, but we know that was due to her diligence and hard work.

We appreciated Lay Ling’s expertise, professionalism and sense of humour during this project. We have a fabulous home and couldn’t be more pleased with the design and workmanship. If the opportunity arose, we would work with Lay Ling again without hesitation.

We began our communications by sending Lay Ling a few images of homes that aesthetically would influence the design process. Within 2 weeks she got back to us with renderings of a design that she felt captured the spirit of our taste. We had finally met someone who understood the design process but had the ability and knowledge to pull it off.

The construction began in early 2016. The budget was met and the timeline was achieved. The house is beautiful and its a tribute to Lay Ling and the construction crew she managed that built this house. We have rented the house for 2 years now and the first thing renters share with us is how beautiful the architecture is.

I can say without hesitation that Lay Ling is a consummate professional and someone who understands the needs of a client. Having a good architect is paramount to getting your dream house. Lay Ling did this for us.
