I searched for an architect to help me with permitting an addition I'm bidding and came across Nick and his company Arcfluence. I called him regarding the project and immediately knew he was going to be hired. His depth of knowledge regarding the local building codes and restrictions within the historic boundaries gave me confidence my clients were spending money with the right firm. Nick and his team met us on site to scan the existing home, discussed the overall needs and use of the new space with my clients and designed a full set of architectural drawings for submission to the city for permitting. Outstanding service all around and highly recommend Arcfluence!

Nick at Nestrs has been instrumental in our 3-year project renovating a six-unit building in Upper Arlington. His expertise as an architect shines as he walks the living spaces, showing excitement on how to improve them. He sold us on converting units built in the 70s from 1-bedroom to luxury living spaces, which have been very marketable.
