Reviews of Perspective Views Inc. (Architect)

Howard Law

Perspective Views was very helpful in the design phase, devising different options very quickly. They also are very professional giving advice on different design, materials and permit issues that arise once you get going with your contractor. We always felt they were in our corner. Very customer service oriented.

I never once considered when starting to work with Perspective Views that they would be the cause of the most stress and additional expense in my construction project. The worst of many problems was the inability to meet deadlines or to communicate effectively about them. In looking back at email and text communications, I can count at least five dozen deadlines that Perspective Views themselves gave for delivery of certain items, which they then missed without giving any communication that their own deadlines would be missed. It's difficult to communicate just how stressful it was to have days, then weeks, then months go by with key project requirements hanging in the wind, requiring work to be stalled and expenses adding up. If Perspective Views had taken ownership of these delays and communicated effectively about what was happening, we could have made adjustments on our end that would have significantly reduced costs and our stress. Unfortunately, our requests for even basic communication around scheduling and updates was usually met with silence, or at best, more schedules that weren't met. I can guess that they just took on too much work at once, and as a result, my project suffered. But again, the communication wasn't there so I can only guess as to why things went so poorly. If considering working with Perspective Views, I'd highly recommend making sure your contract covers all bases in terms of communication and deadlines. I'd also recommend getting second and third opinions from other architects or designers to ensure Perspective Views has the technical understanding required to meet the specific challenges of your project. Any gaps in understanding or planning can quickly lead to significant cost overruns.

I began the daunting task of starting the permit process for an extensive house renovation online. The City of Hamilton's system is not overly user friendly and as such, there would have been extensive delays tot he project without Matt and his team stepping in. I was pointed to Perspective Views by my plumber in an attempt to help speed up the permitting process and I can say that it was worth every penny. Now that I'm in month 8.5 of a pregnancy with my wife with other unforseen cost that arose, we wouldn't have been able to get to where we are without the work of Perspective Views. It was a great process and streamlined. I would totally recommend them to anyone.

We are working on a mixed-use renovation project in Hamilton with Matthew Ribau and his team at Perspective Views. I was recently onsite with two of his associates, Andrew and Joseph, doing a site measurement for "as-built" drawings. This is a routine exercise (although the building is older and oddly-shaped, so it was more challenging). What impressed me was the professionalism and good-natured positivity of the experience. They were working very hard to get it right, but we also had great conversation and a genuinely enjoyable experience. The reason I am sharing this relatively small detail is first to recognize Andrew and Joseph, but also because I have enough professional and life experience to understand that this results from the positive atmosphere and dynamic culture in their offices (and obviously from their principal, Matthew). Perspective Views gets the job done. They sweat the details and get it right... I believe they get there because they genuinely Care about their clients' outcomes, And actually have fun in the process. Glad I'm working with them.

I recently engaged Matthew and his team at Perspective Views for one of my investment property projects. Being a novice at this, I did not know what to expect. I have to say, it has been an amazing experience so far. Not only did they perform the initial assessment thoroughly, they sat me down and went over each design (7), explaining it in detail to me. Matthew and his team are always there to answer any "novice" questions I might have and are extremely patient as well. I would highly recommend Perspective Views to anyone looking to get their property renovated, in accordance with the City's zoning laws!

I can’t say enough about Perspective Views Inc. It was a pleasure working with Matthew and his team. It was a great experience, from the initial consultation, obtaining the permit and the final results. They were very professional in laying out their services and provided guidance with designing the open concept layout that we were looking for our main floor. Their customer service is excellent! They were very responsive to any questions and willing to meet anytime that worked for me. I would definitely rate them a 11 out of 10 , and would use them for any other projects in the future.

Worked with Matt, James and the team to get permits for our kitchen reno. Very professional, friendly, and on time for scheduled meetings. They were very transparent and very communicative throughout the process. Highly recommend Perspective Views.

I have nothing but good things to say about working with Perspective Views, it was a great experience! I started with an initial consultation with Matt where he laid out their services and demonstrated their experience on similar projects to mine. From there they advised me on the best course of action, prepared my required sets of drawings, and coached me through the permitting process with the city as I was managing the renovation project myself. The quality of their expertise and work throughout the process was excellent and it helped me save significant time on my project. They were willing to meet with me anytime that worked for my own schedule, and every time I walked into their office they made me feel at home and took the time to address all of my questions. Working with Perspective Views you won’t be disappointed. They are professional, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. Worth every penny!

Matthew and his team were a pleasure to work with. They turned my dream into a reality and took the anxiety out of the process of getting a pretty unique permit from the city of Hamilton. I would highly recommend working with with Perspective Views and I will certainly choose them again for our next project.

Andre Hahn

Matthew and his team are so efficient and professional. The accuracy and time to complete work with submissions for permits was excellent. I would highly recommend them to anyone that requires an Architect.
