Benchmark Designs, LLC

I had the pleasure of working with Mike from Benchmark to design the conversion of my barn into a livable home, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the results. From the start, he took the time to understand my vision and helped transform it into a practical, beautiful design that retained the character of the original structure while meeting all the modern requirements for a comfortable home.

Mike demonstrated exceptional creativity, attention to detail, and deep knowledge of building codes and structural considerations—especially important for a project like this with unique architectural challenges. Every step of the way, he communicated clearly, offered helpful suggestions, and delivered timely updates.

The final plans perfectly balanced aesthetics, functionality, and efficiency. Thanks to Mikes expertise, I now have a one-of-a-kind home that feels both timeless and thoughtfully designed for everyday living.

If you’re looking for someone to design a barn home conversion—or any custom residential project—I wholeheartedly recommend Mike. His work speaks for itself, and the process was as smooth as the finished product is stunning. More...

Benchmark's all-inclusive package (design, construction and engineering plans) was an excellent fit for our family's project needs. After a previous failed experience with another designer, we turned to Benchmark to create the plans for us. From the start, their communication was exceptional - Michael, our assigned designer, was highly responsive and made sure to fully understand our requirements and constraints.

What really set Benchmark apart was their hands-on approach. Michael conducted multiple onsite visits to thoroughly evaluate the project scope and gather all the necessary details. This allowed him to provide expert industry advice tailored to the unique challenges of our site.

The final plans delivered by Benchmark were of remarkably high quality, with thoughtful design elements and constructability in mind to balance build costs. Importantly, they were also completed within our agreed budget. Throughout the process, Michael's attention to detail ensured the deliverables met all of our specifications.

We are extremely satisfied with the service and outcomes provided by Benchmark. Their combination of responsive communication, on-the-ground involvement, and top-notch design work made them the ideal partner for our project needs. We would not hesitate to recommend Benchmark to anyone looking for a reliable, high-caliber design firm. More...
