"My name is Benjamin Feldt and I am a structural
engineer in Austin, Texas. My company, Feldt Consulting Engineers, has worked
with Hajek and Associates on numerous projects as a consultant designing
foundations and framing. Jiri and his team are extremely professional and up to
the task of any residential project. We see a lot of architectural plans come
through our office and can easily identify the quality and Hajek's are among the
best. Having worked with Hajek on many projects I can verify many of the
customer reviews posted here because I was personally involved with these
projects."Steve & Terry McCord, custom home
client
"We met Jiri Hajek thru Rostrata Builders and he
designed our home in the Mera Vista subdivision of Round Rock in 2010. Jiri has
a remarkable ability to listen to the client's conceptual needs of the project
therefore producing a very detailed unique design of the home. Jiri spends an
enormous amount of time in the initial design meetings completely understanding
the lot specifications, the functionality of the home, the orientation of the
lot and its relation to the neighborhood and the conceptual needs for the home.
Because of his complete understanding, he is able to produce a final product in
a short amount of time. My husband I were extremely impressed and would highly
recommend him to someone considering a custom home design."
Dennis Donnatin, custom home client
"We purchased a lot in Crystal Falls in 2010. Our
goal was to have a home custom designed to fit our specific needs and to
maximize the view opportunities our lot offered.
Our builder introduced us to Jiri Hajek and after our first design meeting which
also included a through site review we knew we were on the right track.
Jiri's understanding of our vision and his ability to translate that into a
final working set of drawings has been amazing.
My wife and I are very pleased with the final outcome and highly recommend Hajek
& Associates to anyone who is considering a custom designed home."
Matt & Laura Mertz, custom home client
"Back in 2009, we bought a lot in Crystal Falls
(Leander) and began shopping around for a builder. The economy was in the middle
of the credit crisis and there were a lot of builders looking for work. We
contacted 6 different builders to bid on our project.
The Crystal Falls real estate agent recommended several builders. We met with 6
builders. One of the first builders we met introduced us to Jiri, someone he
worked with on several projects. The builder said most architects are either
egotistical and become passive-aggressive about changes or are "drawers" that
don't care about how the plan looks. He liked Jiri because he inhabited a space
between the two: he cares about the project without being offended when the
homeowner wants to change the plan. We had a very good feeling about Jiri on our
first meeting. He was patient, listened to us and seemed genuinely excited about
our ideas. He said that he doesn't like to work from sample floor plans and
prefers to know how we wanted to live in the house. This really appealed to us.
Another builder we met had an architect and meeting him provided an illustrative
contrast to Jiri. This architect had already formed an opinion on what he
thought our house should look based on the lot, "wide and palatial". That's the
exact opposite of what we wanted. It was very difficult to communicate with him
because he seemed more interested in telling us his ideas than listening to
ours.
We decided to move forward with Jiri and gave him some broad parameters on our
house design. The first sketch was wrong. We then provided him with more
specific details. The second drawing hit it completely out of the park. We were
surprised that he was able to so accurately conceptualize an idea we had in our
heads on the second attempt. And he even managed to surprise us with some of his
own unique features that we didn't ask for, but we loved them and implemented
them.
If you want to know about Jiri, just meet with him for an hour and we're
confident you will find him completely courteous, professional and knowledgeable
on the design of your dream home. We give him our highest recommendation. Ask
him for references and we will be glad to talk to you."
Alan Kinney, custom home client
"As a retired custom home builder, we decided NOT to
tell Jiri how to draw our house plans but rather TELL him what we wanted in a
home. The resulting house plans were above and beyond what anyone could ever
have asked for from any architect. That only comes from a firm that is not only
very creative but one that actually LISTENS to what the clients want in their
custom home."
Virginia Scott (Scott Homes, LLC.), home builder
"Professional, well laid out plans, and an excellent
eye for detail is what we think of when we think of HAJEK & Associates. As Home
Builders, we appreciate the highly accurate blueprints that HAJEK & Associates
deliver."
Howard Kirk, custom home consultant
"This is an excellent Home Design firm. Jiri has
designed countless custom homes for an array of my clients. He listens extremely
well and is super creative. I highly recommend him."
Jim & Sharon Clishem, custom home client
"Jiri tryuly does a marvelous job from beginning to
end. Hajek & Associates build a beautiful home on Lake Travis. Every attention
to detail was there throughout the entire process. JIri listens very well, is
patient, and is creative. An all around star. We are extremely happy with our
home."
James Duncan, custom home consultant
“Jiri is a great designer with an eye for practical
design and problem solving while still incorporating style and a unique flow to
any design. I worked with Jiri on dozens of projects and was constantly amazed
at his ability to deliver a design that exceeded the clients expectations.
I strongly recommend Jiri's services to anyone looking for a unique custom
design to their next new home.”
Shawn Reaux (sr Design Studio), interior designer
“Jiri is a great designer. By listening to the
client in extreme detail and studying the land, Jiri is able to create a home
that is unique to each homeowner. His designs are functional and beautiful. I
look forward to working with Jiri more in the future.”
Corky Barho, custom home client
“Jiri designed our home after listening intently to
our wishes. The very first pass, we had very few changes. A testament to his
ability to listen and discern the client's needs and wants. We love the way our
house turned out!” |
