February 4, 2018 AT 11:14
An interesting survey was done a few years ago where homeowners who had completed projects were interviewed about their satisfaction levels. Those who had paid more in design fees (e.g. to an Architect or, in some cases, a licensed professional Interior Designer) were overwhelmingly more satisfied than those who had paid low consulting fees. Why this surprising result?

The busy site of Market at Crossings in West Lethbridge will begin to open its first phase to the public after nearly a year of construction beginning with well-known Canadian restaurant Tim Horton's by mid-May along newly constructed Carinthia Road West.

One One Ten partnered with Gibbs Gage Architects and Royop Development Corporation of Calgary to deliver the Market at Crossings, a multi-phase commercial retail development in West Lethbridge.
