They were our architects in the past and they will be the company we turn to in the future!

John Watkins, Jeff Biehn, and the rest of the Watkins staff, kept their promise and project timelines from the beginning to the end of the project. From our initial meeting with Watkins Architect we felt we had someone we could trust and was looking out for our best interest. They were our architects in the past and they will be the company we turn to in the future!

I fully recommend Watkins Architect, LTD to perform your architectural needs…

Watkins support staff members were always available and a genuine customer service attitude gave me the feeling like my job was the most important one they were working on. The construction project should have taken nine months to complete. With fast track scheduling by Watkins Architect and constant monitoring, the successful completion was achieved in four months. This further exemplifies the quality of drawings, specifications, and cooperation that prevailed on the project. I fully recommend Watkins Architect, LTD to perform your architectural needs when planning, customer service, and post project completion services are required.

John Watkins commitment to the ‘Art of Architecture’ is demonstrated in his design of our building.

From the beginning, Watkins Architect LTD provided common sense guidance through the conceptual and development stages of the high profile building project that incorporates many areas of study into a flexible teaching space. They were enthusiastic in meeting our program needs and allowed necessary changes without incident. I do believe that John Watkins commitment to the ‘Art of Architecture’ is demonstrated in his design of our building.

Extremely professional and Experienced

HOLLY HUNT (Knoll) has been a client of Watkins | Synergetics Architect since 2015. Our corporate office in Chicago was in need of an extensive renovation in 2016. This could of been proven to be difficult as we had to work this project around staff working in the space during demolition, construction, and install. From the initial planning phase, Jeff “listened” to our needs, created spot on drawings, facilitated through pre-construction meetings and communicated extremely well through the entire project – nothing ever fell through the cracks. Jeff Biehn/WS is extremely professional, experienced and attended to all areas of the project. This made my role as the HH project manager, along with others internally at my company so much easier through, what could have been a difficult project for us.… Read more “Extremely professional and Experienced”

We will plan to use them again as a project allows in the future.

We have had the pleasure of working with Jeff Biehn from Watkins Architecture from 2015 and throughout last year. He has previously worked with our parent company, Knoll, and was highly recommended to us for our NY Showroom renovation in the D&D Building. This was our first large scale renovation in many years, and our flagship showroom. The
pressure was on to create a functional and modern space that reflected the brands image while at the same time being very thoughtful to the budget. We found Jeff to be attentive, professional, responsive and thorough to every detail. His positive outlook was appreciated and kept the project moving in a forward direction. We would not only recommend Jeff and the team at Watkins, we will plan to use them again… Read more “We will plan to use them again as a project allows in the future.”

I would find another picturesque parcel of land and ask John to design another spectacular home for me.

“Twenty years ago when I was looking for an architect, a colleague recommended John Watkins, a young man fresh from college, just starting his practice. The design of our new home was very important to me; after five years of search, I had finally found a wooded property that both my wife and I liked. I wanted the new home to represent our joint vision, unlike the bachelor’s pad I had built before meeting Kathleen. In our twenty-five acre forest populated by hundreds of mature trees, we wanted to build a contemporary home, using natural materials and an open-floor design. We handed John a three-page wish list, specifying the highlights of our vision: bank of windows that would allow us to enjoy the lush forest from inside, a spacious kitchen… Read more “I would find another picturesque parcel of land and ask John to design another spectacular home for me.”

Mr. Watkins and his staff exemplify all the qualities of a true professional organization.

Mr. Watkins and his staff exemplify all the qualities of a true professional organization. What impressed me most was the follow-up and attention to the projects during the construction phase. There were bi-weekly construction meetings with contractors, subcontractors, and township personnel in attendance at all meetings. Minor problems were addressed immediately and not allowed to escalate. Both projects ran so smoothly, due mostly to the organizational efforts of Mr. Watkins and others from his office with whom we dealt from time to time.

…very professional, courteous, and responsive at all times.

During the time we have worked with John Watkins, as well as his employees, we have found this company to be very professional, courteous, and responsive at all times. Following our first attempt at putting our project out to bid, the bids came in higher than our budget. Despite the fact that Watkins had fulfilled all their responsibilities at this point, they went above and beyond our contractual agreement and re-designed and downsized the building without any further charges. In this day and age you will not find companies that will provide this type of support without paying additional fees; therefore, it is our opinion that a better choice would be very difficult to achieve than to use Watkins Architect.
