If you are reading this, I assume it is because you are contemplating having Cyril with RCM Cad Design and Drafting design your new home. Possibly it would be helpful in making up your mind if you were aware of the experience I had working with Cyril.

I began working with Cyril in March of this year after completing a lengthy search for the log company I wanted to build my vacation home. Cyril was patient, helpful, full of excellent suggestions and a pleasure to work with. On every occasion he followed through with his promises and even went out of his way to help me with more than his job entailed. He’s helped me locate suppliers for the materials I needed to complete my home and frequently offered ideas to help me reduce the cost of my home without sacrificing the look I wanted. While I suppose there is no way to tackle a project of this magnitude without a few missteps, they were truly minor and few in nature and on the rare occasions they did occur, Cyril never made excuses or passed the buck. He simply went about resolving the problem fairly and promptly.

He always returned my calls and I never called when he wasn’t in a good mood and a pleasure to speak with. I don’t know what else you could ask for, but if you still have a concern I could help you with, feel free to drop me a letter and I’ll be happy to try to answer your concerns.

I had the pleasure to work with Cyril on the design of a vacation log home. After researching designer candidates, I decided to go with Cyril for the following reasons:

–    Cyril offered the best price
–    Cyril’s web page offered several examples of his work
–    I liked the style of Cyril’s designs
–    Cyril seemed very knowledgeable and answered all my questions

Throughout the design process, I was very pleased with the level of attention Cyril gave to my design. He worked closely with my log supplier, and my engineer. Both were very impressed with the quality and completeness of Cyril’s work. John (my engineer) even said “these are the most complete plans I have ever reviewed.” The plans include lots of additional construction notes and details that are very useful. They also include several drawing sections and a 3 dimensional view of the log walls, roof and supporting structures.

Cyril provides lots of opportunities to make design changes. First, I received the preliminary floor plans for review. Then, once these were modified and approved, I was sent a 3 dimensional model of the house on CD-ROM. After the final plans were printed on vellum and shipped to me. I was still allowed to make changes and corrections for no additional charge. Finally, Cyril worked with the engineer to add local building code details to the drawings and sent the revised drawings for final approval, again for no additional charge.

I have a good friend Dave, who is in the process of building a house. He has not been happy with his architect. When I compare his experience to mine, I realize how good Cyril really is. Dave’s architect was more expensive, was difficult to contact, did not respond to all his questions, charged extra for modifications, did not make all the modifications requested and produced an inferior, less complete set of plans. Now that the plans are complete, Dave does not feel comfortable calling the architect with additional construction questions. On the other hand, I feel very welcome to contact Cyril with additional questions and I know he will respond in a timely fashion.

So, to sum it up, Cyril is an outstanding designer/draftsman, offers excellent customer service and a very  competitive price. I am very happy to recommend him. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns about choosing Cyril as your designer/draftsman.

Sincerely

Dear RCM.

My husband and I purchased one of your plans (Spring) 10 years ago or so.

First of all, I want to tell you what a perfect fit it has been for our family. We could not have made a better choice.

Secondly, to our surprise we were contacted by our builder, asking permission to submit our cabin and plans to Log Home Living and Country’s Best Cabins, for a future Cozy Cabins article. We said yes, submitted what they wanted, making sure RCM got full credit for the plans.

I just got word that we will be included in the August 2015 issue of Country’s Best Cabins. Your company is getting rightful credit for the plans.

I just wanted to let you know, so you could watch for it.

Best regards

Sue and Saul

We couldn’t be more happy with the work that Cyril and Tyler have performed for us.  They took our original design ideas (which we thought were pretty amazing!), and turned them into more than we ever could have dreamed of.

We’re so thankful to Gemma for her patience as we worked to figure out the most minute details on the drafting board so that we could try to eliminate costly labor charges down the road.  As for Cyril, what we envisioned as beautiful, he has turned into a dream home.  His insight and experience have been invaluable during the design process, and have led to home that we know will be enjoyed by our family for generations to come.

Thank you RCM, we couldn’t be more happy with everything you’ve done for us, and wouldn’t hesitate to use your services again in the future.

Sincerely –

James & Megan from Washington

We obtained the services of RCM Cad Design to design and draft our post and beam timber frame home located near Merritt. From our first meeting with Cyril, onsite, to the end result the process was seamless. It was clearly evident Cyril and his team have  a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge and therefore it did not take too many revisions for Cyril to nail down exactly the style and design we were looking for.  Cyril and his team provided a lot of creativity and suggestions to design our dream home .  They are professional, prompt and very thorough .  They were able to have our drawings ready in a very expeditious fashion and their rates are very reasonable. It was stress free. Shaughn and I would recommend them to anyone thinking of designing a unique west coast home, post and timber or log home.   A wonderful company to work with.

Best Regards

Cyril Some feedback. The GC thought the plans are very thorough. Your service has been outstanding and the team you have are terrific. The structural folks have been a pleasure. Linda and I appreciate your professionalism.  I have enjoyed working with you. Thanks!

To Whom It May Concern,

It is a pleasure to have the opportunity to write a letter of reference for RCM Cad. We have been planning our log home for four years, and had made slow progress with another designer. Revisions took weeks, and sometimes months, and were frequently incomplete. When Cyril took over, we made more progress in one week than we had in one year with the prior designer. Most notably, the computer renditions done by Cyril are stunning. They are near photographic in quality, and far surpass drawings done by other designers. Revisions were done in a matter of days, and reflected the exact changes we asked for. For the first time, we were able to clearly see what our home would look like.

There is no question that we would use Cyril again, and would recommend him to anyone who is building. His work is superb, professional, and prompt.

Thank-you

Bruce – B.C.

Cyril,

Selena and I wanted to thank you again for the wonderful plans for our log home! You have definitely captured the style of log home that suits us, and we were so glad you made the suggestions you did throughout the revision process, e.g.. the entry to the games room  above the garage from the main house, and the corner stone fireplace in the master suite. I cannot stress how invaluable your 3D models of the exterior and interior were, and how it allowed us to make adjustments that we might otherwise not have seen in just the normal elevation drawings. You took something that we had procrastinated so long because we thought it was going to be stressful and instead you made this process stress-free, fun, and exciting. You helped us to blueprint our dream, and I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone else who is looking to do the same.

Thanks again

Collin and Selena – B.C.
