Testimonials

As general contractors in the Colorado marketplace we work with a variety of architects. Shane and the team at Arrow B are amongst the best we get the privilege to work with. I learned long ago that good design doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg; and that true value engineering starts with code analysis; Arrow B has consistently done the research, investigation and other up-front heavy lifting to prepare their projects for success… and, in this way, among others, add great value for their clients. Every project experiences challenges on one level or another. Working collaboratively with consultants, clients and general contractors like me is key to the effective management and ultimate success of any project – Arrow B excels in this realm as well as any we have work with and for this reason is one of the first we will recommend to any developer or client.

Senior Project Manager, Spectrum General Contractors

Shane and his crew at Arrow B Architecture are absolute rockstars. When we set off to build our very first restaurant we had so many questions and uncertainties. We had no idea of how the whole process would go, all we had was a concept and a dream. Arrow B Architecture helped us realize that dream and guided us throughout the project from start to finish. We love the restaurant we have built together and would work with them again in the future. I’m so glad we chose them to be a part of our team. Not only did we gain an ally in our line of work, but we gained a few friendships as well.

Arrow B Architecture played a pivotal role in bringing our vision for Taco Uprising to life in Denver, CO, in 2023. From the outset, their comprehensive understanding of commercial construction, with a keen specialization in restaurant design, set the foundation for a seamless project execution. Their expertise ensured that our space’s aesthetics and functionality were top-notch and that every aspect of the construction was up to code and designed to enhance our customers’ dining experience. Their dedication to quality and meticulous attention to detail are evident in every corner of our restaurant, contributing to an atmosphere that perfectly captures the essence of Taco Uprising.

Additionally, Arrow B Architecture’s extensive network of contacts within various government departments was instrumental in navigating the often complex permitting process. Their proactive approach and ability to anticipate and address potential hurdles saved us invaluable time and resources, allowing us to focus on our passion for serving delicious tacos to the Denver community. Their responsiveness and commitment to our project’s success fostered a sense of trust and collaboration that went beyond the typical client-architect relationship. Thanks to Arrow B Architecture, Taco Uprising was able to open its doors in 2023, fully compliant and ready to make its mark as a new culinary destination in Denver.

Talk about a dream, try to make it real’, sage advice from Bruce Springsteen.  From our first introductory meeting, the team at Arrow B Architecture not only tried, but they made it real.  Finding a partner that was willing to listen to my dream, understand the concept and actually wanting it to come to life as much as I did was the key to making the dream a reality.  Shane and Ally were always willing to listen, answer questions and were focused on making the concept better every step of the way.  Out of all of the decisions that had to be made to bring Stylus & Crate to life, partnering with Arrow B Architecture was one of easiest and turned out to be the best one!

Tadd Overstreet

Owner, Stylus & Crate

Hands down, the best decision we made when starting our business was to hire Arrow B.  Shane and Ally were there on day one when we explained our dream and vision and they were there when our doors opened.  They have been our biggest cheerleaders during each step of our build out process.  The entire team was always available for any questions and they found a way to make us feel like we were their most important client.  Their thorough understanding of building in Colorado made sense of a very stressful permitting process and they were always available to help explain any steps in the process to open – from vetting a location to decor.  We highly recommend Arrow B for any client who values transparency, timeliness, communication and just phenomenal work.  We would not be here without them!

Owner, Whirlybird Ice Cream and Waffles

We are so thankful that Arrow B was recommended to us and that we were able to work with Shane, Cimone, and the rest of the team on our new build brewery project. We are newbies in this business and to have Arrow B by our side every step of the way was exactly what we needed. Their communication, patience, support, investment, enthusiasm, and partnering in this project was amazing. There were so many unknowns and new obstacles for us to experience and they were right there to provide clarification and understanding. Their attention to detail made this project move forward more smoothly. It was amazing how they were able to take all of our design ideas and thoughts and turn them into a creative reality that represents our brand and what we were envisioning. We would love to work with Arrow B again when it comes time for a new project adventure.

Working with Arrow B Architecture is great. They are creative, collaborative and produce concise plans. I’ve witnessed their ability to take old, neglected building and improve them affordably with a functional and quality finish.

Anson Brown

Project Manager, Gateway Construction Services

We can’t recommend Arrow B Architecture highly enough.  They were so much more than our architect.  They felt like a true partner in the launch of our first-ever bricks and mortar shop.  We shared our vision and our vibe with them and they executed beyond our expectations (and within our budget).  They were delightful to work with, walking us through everything we needed to do to go from our sketch on a napkin to our final approval to get the doors open.  They are incredibly talented, creative, flexible and innovative.  But more than that, they invest in their clients.  They build personal relationships and get into the DNA of your business.   We get so many compliments on the shop’s design, including the awesome pulley-fan system and faux copper ceiling they included, that we asked for a supply of cards to share with customers interested in hiring an architect.  We honestly believe we have one of the most, if not the most, attractive cheese shops in the country thanks to their work.  And that’s because so many of our customers, local and visitors from other states, have said so.

Marketing Maven, Cheese+Provisions

My husband and I are first-time restaurant owners and decided to engage Arrow B to work on our project after meeting them through the Small Business Development Center of Denver. It was one of the best decisions we made during the planning process! Building a restaurant can be quite complex but they did so much to help us navigate the often-confusing (and sometimes scary!) process, especially when it came to dealing with the city. Not only that, but they contributed so much creativity and skill to the design of our space to make it feel truly personal. It was amazing to watch them take our crazy dream and create an actual, physical representation of what we wanted, and it was even more stylish and beautiful than we had imagined. We can’t say enough about how great it was to work with Arrow B and we wouldn’t hesitate to engage them again on whatever our next project may be.

As a contractor, Arrow B’s drawings were incredibly accurate and incorporated our customers vision from the beginning. Their responsiveness and creativity helped avoid any project delays when hurdles arose. Shane Martin and the Arrow B team are an absolute pleasure to work with. I can’t wait to build another project with them.

Andrew Breen

Pre-Construction Manager, Milo Construction Corporation

We had the pleasure of working with the Arrow B Architecture team on the design of our new restaurant. As a small family business, and this being our first restaurant opening, we were so grateful for how responsive and accommodating Arrow B was throughout this normally stressful process. Not only did they work well within our budget, but they helped us find a great general contractor. After their role was completed, the team at Arrow B regularly checked in on us, making sure all was going smoothly and even helped us with our PR and advertising efforts! I highly recommend working with this firm, they treated us as their #1 priority and have become great friends of La Chiva.

Jorge Aguirre

Owner, La Chiva

Shane and Arrow B are the absolute best investment we could’ve made and they will always be a part of the Godfather’s team.  They are the most professional, most knowledgeable, and hardest working team that I have had the pleasure of working with. Somehow, they have a way of making even the most difficult and frustrating of tasks and requirements seem simple.  Believe me, if you run into a problem with your design, or your build, it will NOT be because of Arrow B.  We would probably STILL be scrambling to open if it weren’t for them.

Jake Smith

Franchise Owner, Godfather’s Pizza

We have worked with Arrow B on multiple tenant improvement projects.  On every project they’ve listened carefully to understand the needs of our employees and customers.  Their expertise, responsiveness and creative problem-solving has brought us through challenging projects on time, within budget and resulting in space we are truly proud of.   We’ve received countless unsolicited compliments about the spaces they have designed for us.  Shane Martin and the Arrow B crew are an absolute pleasure to work with.

Facilities Manager, RMHS

I wanted to take a moment and thank you for the important role that you played on our project together. At the time, I can safely say that it was the largest, most fast paced, residential project on the western slope of Colorado. Your passion for architectural detail, superb communication skills, and leadership promoted a smooth-running project that kept us all on schedule and budget. You fostered a collaborative relationship with my construction team that supported the demanding construction schedule. Your guidance allowed our work forces to communicate quickly and concisely and to tackle the day-to-day questions efficiently. In addition, your passion for in-depth research, knowledge of architecture, and your gift for detail brought the client’s vision to a beautiful brick and mortar reality.

I have no doubt about the positive outcome and success in your new endeavor as business owner and principal architect at Arrow B and look forward to the day when we can work together again.

Arrow B was instrumental in bringing my concept of Green Collective Eatery to life. Their attention to detail, creativity, and passion for what they do was truly incredible! It was such a joy to work with the Arrow B team. Ally and Shane are both incredibly responsive and wonderful. As a first-time venture, they held my hand through the newness of it all and made me come out feeling like a pro! I would never go anywhere else for my architecture needs and would highly recommend Arrow B to anyone in need of an architect.
