As GENERAL MANAGER in REAL ESTATE SAN AGUSTIN

By FERNANDO RODRIGUEZ (CLIENT) on 30-08-2014
"I met Antonio J Pedreño when he was a Senior Architect at HK Arquitectura+Edificatoria. From the moment I went into the HK offices, he took care of my project, the San Agustin Center, a restaurant. He listened to me patiently and fully understood my requirements and needs. He and his team developed the conceptual and architectural design, never forgetting the expected results and engaging me in the process. By demonstrating a high level of involvement in the project, and his skills as architect and designer, he gained my trust in a short period of time. His calmness in facing the project was a great relief and took a big burden off my shoulders. Finally, all the objectives were met and the results obtained exceeded the targets I set. Please feel free to contact me if further information is required."
