"Building with an Architect was the most practical and cost-efficient way for us to build our new home and we'll explain why!

After a thorough search and evaluation we concluded that Michael Pagnotta Architect and Builder gave us the most "bang for the buck". Our criteria for this decision was based on our budget restrictions, a creative design that would lend itself to our lifestyle and the local environment, quality workmanship and materials, management fexibility and cooperation, and of course trust in the company. Our decision wa correct- simply the intelligent way to go"...

" I did not fully realize the advantages of using an architect/builder until my house was complete. Previous buildingexpeiences (fraught with frustration,disappointment and miscommunication), combined with the size and location of my newest home, made me dread the actual construction. I was especially apprehensive about being hours away and very busy while it was happening.

I'm sure your efficiency is due in large part to having an architect and buiklder inhabit the same physical body. There was not a minute (or a dollar) lost in transition because everything about the house was in one place, one team. And better yet, if I had a question or a problem, there was just one phone call to make!

Thanks for a very high comfort level and if I ever build another, the hardest part is already done: choosing someone to do it."

"... my wife and I are enthusiastic proponents of the design-build concept.

First the design- we knew how we wanted the house to live, Mike gave this dimension, eleganceand character with his practical creativity. Mike took our dream and made it a reality when we spent our first weekend in the new house it felt immediately like ours. Mike listens to what youwant-that I cannot stress stromgly enough...Nothing was ever a problem, there was always a solution.

Once you go through the design phase, which as I have indicated, Mike made a pleasant and enjoyable experience, your plams get sweaty and you get butterflies in your stomachas you approach the bidding plans-can you really afford this thing.

Well, once again Mike was listening-at the outset I gave him my budget llimit and he delivered. He was able to reconcile our design with our construction budget...by now you probably get the idea-we are extremely pleased with our new house-and the entire design-build process."

"We approached Mike after seeing some of his work and were impressed with the level of design and quality of the homes he designed and built. When we had difficulties in acquiring a suitable lot, Mike was there to help by showing us how our proposed home would be affected by different sites. Getting Mike involved early was a  benefit as he was able to determine the impact that zoning and regulatory restrictions would have on us.

We described to Mike our considerable list of "demands" and asked that he create a unique contemporary home specifically for us. We were ecstatic upon seeing the results. The home is truly original and the design has so many levels of thought including passive solar design,sensitive use of materials,maximized ocean views, and best of all the home has made our day-to-day living much better."
