Kevin as a Job Captain, we worked on several projects together. His attention to detail and working knowledge of the many various architectural systems - made the construction phase run smoothly. He understood the Owners/Project needs and implemented them in a timely and flawless manner. His communication skills with team members, associates, contractors and subcontractors was a valuable member to the projects. I look forward to the opportunity to working with Kevin again on future projects. Kevin would make a valuable asset to any Architectural Team.

I worked with Kevin Solodar on The Museum Tower Project, located in Dallas Texas - a 42 story luxury, residential high-rise. I was very impressed with Kevin's technical ability and attention to detail. Kevin paid attention to intricate details and that showed in his drawings. Kevin's drawing and detailing ability is top-level. Kevin also has an impressive understanding of various materials and their applications. He is a very bright person who thinks ahead - I consider Kevin to be a multi-dimensional individual who has a broad knowledge base, not by any means limited to his profession. I would recommend Kevin for any Project Architect or Project Manager level position. He was a great resource of information and talent to have on the team.

Kevin has a great talent for design and a keen eye for detail. He always went the extra mile when it was time to get a project buttoned up to send out for bidding or issue for construction. His technical, organizational, coordination, and communication skills are excellent. He is experienced in dealing with owners, contractors, subcontractors, and consultants. He is also a pleasure to work with and has a great work ethic. His conduct while at our firm can best be described as highly professional.
