Testimonials
Thank you so much for the fabulous work you performed for us designing our home on Longhorn Trail. We are extremely pleased with your professional and friendly attitude and the quality of work that you produced. As you know we had a bad experience with a previous designer and had the absolute opposite experience with you. You took the time to listen to our wants and needs then did a wonderful job of putting those ideas on paper. We truly appreciated your creative suggestions which added a special "WOW" factor to our home and you couldn't have been more accommodating to our personal schedules and the timeline for our home. It is with great pleasure I highly recommend your services, and please feel free to share this letter with potential clients. Thank you again for everything, we are beyond pleased and are very excited to see the completion of our home and see our joint ideas come to life.

We could not be more pleased with our choice of plan designer. Rob at City Design & Plans did a great job taking our ideas and putting them on paper. The quality and attention given to detail was outstanding. Rob was very helpful in developing a floor plan that fits our lifestyle. He also introduced several ideas that really enhanced our plans, something I was not expecting. We can't wait to start construction, and would highly recommend City Design & Plans for your dream home

It gives me great pleasure to recommend City Design and Plans. I have had the chance to work with Rob Ross in various aspects over the last 20+ years. Most recently, he designed the Deer Valley plan for us, to be constructed in High Meadow West, Magnolia TX. He communicated with me and my team throughout the entire design process. For me, as a builder, Rob's plans are clear and organized, yet designed for style, lifestyle, and efficiency. I recommend him with enthusiasm, and if given the opportunity, would hire him again for future work.

Rob Ross of City Design & Plans has been servicing the clients of Action Custom Homes for the past twelve years. During that period, I have had the opportunity to interact with Rob on a professional level with many of our clients. Rob has proved to be both accommodating and creative with his residential design work. My observation is that Rob listens intently to the needs and wants of the client and consistently produces a product that reflects the personality of those he is working with. He is, however, quick to offer creative alternatives that provide an architectural flair to his work. Rob’s fees are especially attractive with everyone hoping to conserve costs, yet the quality of his work is consistently high. On behalf of our entire organization, I am particularly pleased to be associated with Rob and City Design & Plans. He makes us a better Company and what we offer more complete.
