What our clients say

“PBK was a fantastic firm to work with. They listened to every word I had to say and delivered the perfect design on the first try – which was exactly what I was looking for.”

Kurt Klafta Battalion Chief, Los Angeles Fire Department

“PBK attended every meeting, adeptly addressed program needs, and demonstrated an excellent understanding of the workings of a firehouse. They resolve design issues rapidly, sometimes hand sketching on the spot, and offer innovative yet durable, cost-effective solutions.”

Chris Costamagna Deputy Chief, Sacramento Fire Department

“PBK staff have a great understanding of our functional needs and are able to translate them into excellent options.”

Brad Collins Captain, Fairfield Police Department

“PBK has been flexible yet succinct in moving our project forward. We had to break out a section of the building rehabilitation and construct early due to mold issues and PBK delivered. Most RFI’s and Submittals for the breakout project have been reviewed same day or within 2 days at the latest to get construction started.”

Brian Reed City Engineer, City of Folsom

“We have been extremely pleased with the professionalism and service we have received from PBK. Their attention to detail and astute listening has made getting our opinions and thoughts from conceptual to reality, on paper, in a very timely manner. Their first attempt at conceptual options for our Council were very favorably received and enabled us to move forward quickly and remain completely on schedule. From what we have witnessed so far, I would highly recommend PBK for these types of projects.”
