AMB Architects At AMB Architects, our core belief is to create Positive Change Through Design for our clients. Our designers and staff approach each project as an opportunity to enhance or change the environment our clients interact with daily. To us, projects are not a way to represent our firm or a set pallet of architectural finishes and style.

We listen to our clients, find out the needs for their business, and develop a space that not only fits them but creates a positive impact on their business. Our understanding of architectural design process is enhanced by the professional character and depth of knowledge of our staff.

Jimmy has assisted in multiple projects throughout the years varying in size and cost. He is great at communicating and forwarding comments received and explaining what steps need to be taken next. Highly recommended!

As a General Contractor here in Houston, I have been working with AMB Architects, specifically Katherine, for several years. I have brought several unique renovation projects to her, large and small, and she has handled every aspect of the projects perfectly, being attentive, on time, informative, with great communication, and very cost affective. It is for these reasons I have continued to use AMB and will continue to on each one of my projects. Thank you Katherine for the great service!

I can't say enough amazing things about this company. I originally submitted an application to the City of Houston for a simple window repair prior to enlisting any assistance from AMB Architects. I immediately ran into issues with a simple window repair permit that stretched from a one-stop review (7-14day) to over 3mos of continued rejections from the city with no discussions or understanding of what they needed.

I understand that Covid has made it particularly difficult for City of Houston staff, but I was hung up on by a city reviewer at the beginning for asking for clarification on the rejection notice he had sent. We were on the phone for less than 1minute before he got tired of our call and hung up saying to just follow the comments in the online portal - no communication, no guidance. Nothing.

We struggled for quite a bit longer desperately needing this repair permit to be approved so we could move to install. Just when we were about to give up, I found Jimmy at AMB Architects. We spent 5 minutes on the phone and he was on the task. He looked up our permit, told us what revisions were needed and within weeks, we had approval on hand. Jimmy was not only professional to work with, but he was super responsive.

He always communicated well, giving updates and looking for ways to keep the project in budget - rates were very reasonable! I'm very thankful that we found him and AMB Architects to get us through the City reviews. Without them, we would not have gotten our project approved and it would have continued for our business to suffer consequences.

I highly recommend them! As a person who has dealt with tons of construction, architecture, and others involving build outs, suffering through liens and subcons not getting paid, or contractors not following proper City requirements. We won't think twice about calling this team first for any future projects.

I have worked with AMB Architects to complete permittable, build-able construction documents for my commercial clients. AMB is extremely knowledgeable on both City of Houston and County codes, and is wonderful to work with. Will work with them again!

As an MEP engineer I work with architects in Houston and the surrounding areas daily. Over the last four years I have often worked with the AMB Architects team and always had a great experience. I typically work with Lauren, she is kind, responsive, technically proficient, and always delivers a great project for her clients. If I needed architectural services I would not hesitate to reach out to AMB.

My experience with AMB has been entirely positive. Their professionalism is on par with larger firms, but their customer service is exceptional. They solve problems quickly and go beyond the call of duty when needed to help orchestrate on a tight schedule. I would strongly recommend using them on your next commercial project.

Absolutely horrible experience. Would give 0 stars if possible. Generally overpriced for what they do but besides that, have a completely unprofessional attitude and ethic. Held me to a contract they never even sent me, realized their mistake and threatened to hold the permit if the nonexistent contract was paid for in full. They are crooks- save your money and your sanity!
