Testimonials

Excerpted from LinkedIn, clients that have worked with Steve Tetens, AIA, NCARB, PMP

“Steve is a talented professional who has a great deal of experience with the technical and business aspects of architecture and real estate development. His attention to detail and commitment to the success of any project makes him the kind of business partner that I prefer to work for or with. He understands what it takes to provide value to his clients and he is able to select team members that get the job done.”

“During a critical period, we relied on external project managers to lead and control time-sensitive deliverables for a key business need. We relied on Steve to organize, lead and control those deliverables, along with participating in senior-level briefs where project decisions were being made based on those deliverables. Steve did not need direction – he was able to assess the situation and take ownership of the project management activities. Using classical project management techniques and personal integrity, he was able to facilitate the execution of those activities and maintain a level of control that kept the work moving. Key outcomes included timely delivery, organized control plan and positive outcomes on the project itself. It’s a delight to work with someone who has a short learning curve and maintains that level of integrity throughout the duration of intense activities.“

“If you are looking for an architectural firm who will act tenaciously to protect your company’s bottom-line, Steve Tetens and PURE will deliver. I have used PURE on a number of projects and he consistently exceeds expectations. You can count on PURE to deliver a high end product with a small firm individualized level of service. Whether it is traditional architectural services or acting as an owners representative, Steve Tetens manages to always help make my firm look good to our client through his keen insights and quality work product.“

“Steve has provided excellent, comprehensive drawings for my developer and property management clients and his technical proficiency is beyond compare. However, the true value in Steve’s work is his ability to forecast potential concerns before they become problems and recommend the better course of action to take to avoid the pitfalls. On many occasions, Steve has asked pointed, relevant questions of my clients to determine the best–and often most cost effective–course of action. Additionally, Steve understands what a deadline is and I have never had an issue getting responses from him by requested dates. Finally, Steve is adept at working with me as counsel and offers whatever assistance I request and takes time to make sure that I, as a non-architect, understand what he is providing me to work with and why that is relevant to my task, thereby increasing our collective value to the client.“

“I have worked with Steve on several projects. I continue to be impressed with his practical and no-nonsense approach to building. He is judicious in evaluating the opinions of others. When representing others in the building process, he is tenacious in ensuring that his clients are getting charged fairly for the work performed. He can definitely be relied upon to help deliver you a quality construction project. I wholeheartedly recommend him.“
