Thank you so much idd architecture
“I had the privilege to have my facility designed and developed by the team at IDD Architecture and I can confidently state that they are a model of what an excellent service needs to be. They were involved from the site selection and acquisition, all design phases, municipal approvals/permitting with the City of Plano, construction, and to move-in. They proved to be knowledgeable and responsive to issues during the entire process. Their professionalism, knowledge depth and particularly their attention to detail contributed to the timely project completion and on budget delivery.
