“ ‘Happy with the house’ doesn’t begin to describe it….I can only begin to take it in. It’s one thing to appreciate a work; it’s quite another to know that it was made in part for you. It will take a long time to process. I’m starting to delve into that now…”

“I have worked with Tom Carnegie as both client and colleague and must say that his architectural talent and capacity to solve complex technical issues in a simple way is only equaled by his talent as a fine builder. Tom has the goods to make things work and work beautifully.”
Gabhan Gibson President GIBSON GREENWOOD INC.
Engaging Thomas Carnegie to help us with completing this special and exacting project – was a perfect move. With his deep experience and training in architecture, Tom brings an exacting respect and detail to his work on all levels. It is a pleasure to collaborate with someone who shares the excitement of getting details right – raising the bar of quality along the way. Without hesitation we would recommend his careful and skilled involvement and look forward to working together again in the near future.

“Thomas Carnegie completed two small projects for us;
First as General Contractor constructing a 2-story addition (sun room, office and interior remodel of kitchen)
Second as Design-Builder of our double garage. Thom creatively designed the garage to compliment the design elements of the addition, forming the building to provide for rigged overhead canoe storage at the lane and increased sunlight at our rear patio.
Both projects were executed in a highly professional manner. Thom’s management, craftmanship and use of high quality materials resulted in a smooth construction process. Our home is greatly enhanced and exactly as we envisioned, and we consider Thom a friend.”
