Looking on-line to find a draftsman to help me acquire a permit from Cottonwood Heights and then make my ugly little house beautiful seemed like a daunting task, but with Shawn Knowlens’ help, I am on my way! I tore the house down to the 2x4s, changed 3 small bedrooms into a master bedroom suite and a guest room, added a garage and expanded the downstairs bathroom. Shawn’s cognitive flexibility enabled me to create the look I wanted staying within the cost and building code parameters. The 3D renderings made the rooms come alive! He also was my spokesman for the permit changes that the city did not seem to be able to comprehend. If you are looking for a designer and draftsman who will listen to you, yet add some very creative additions to your plan, Shawn is your man. He also was reasonably priced and very responsive to my many texts.

I looked on google for an affordable draftsman, and one of the first with good reviews was SKD. I called and connected with Shawn. I was concerned that he was located in Vernal, and our project was in Salt Lake City, that it would be an inconvenience for the project, but Shawn came out within a day or two and got most of the measurements he needed and was able to produce a set of drawings for MEP engineers to use, and also for city review. We ran into a couple of snags, as happens with any project, and Shawn was able to address them with his architect partner, Malcolm. We were able to resolve all the issues, and overall it went well. Shawn was open to feedback about things that I needed from him, and very responsive to concerns and changes (which isn't always the case with designers I've dealt with in the past). My experience with SKD was a little rough a couple times, but in the end, Shawn showed up and made me feel like he heard me and the owner of the project. This was his first job in a little while, and we just had to knock a little rust off. In conclusion, I am happy with my choice to use SKD, and will use their services again. Shawn and Malcolm were very attentive to mine and the customer's needs (at an affordable price at that).

To whom it may concern: I am an architect licensed in Utah, and have worked with Shawn Knowlden on several projects. He has shown excellent skills in drafting and understanding construction and code requirements involved with construction. He is also aware of the ‘time-sensitivity’ that sometimes happen, and has always met deadlines that are required. I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone! Thank you
