Hive Modular, LLC

Hive provided architectural design services and project management for a 2000 sq ft infill modular home. Paul Stankey was the project lead. We had a really good idea of the overall concept of what we wanted the home to look like, but Paul was instrumental in filling in the fine details, making suggestions/presenting us opitions, and bringing the ideas to life. We worked well with Paul and put a lot of trust in him and his abilities and we are happy with the results. An example is our kitchen where we gave Paul the information of how we wanted the space to look and function and the first schematic he sent back nailed it. From his end of things our project was on budget and met our timing goals. Paul also had a good relationship with the factory and our site contractor which helped over the course of our project.

We worked with Bryan at Hive to design a modular home for us in an area with high local construction costs. We love the house and feel that it really fits in our neighborhood and takes the best possible advantage of views, yard area, etc. that we could have hoped for. We certainly were able to have nicer finishes and a more custom design than we could have afforded through traditional construction. Bryan was extremely patient with us as we worked through decisions.

We did an X-Design with Hive for our new year round lake residence. It started off as a modular but morphed into an on-site build for a variety of good reasons. Square footage was about 2000 I think. Hive is passionate about their work. Bryan was our contact. I recall him saying that each project was like one of their children. That is how it felt as at some points I felt like he cared more about the design than we did, which I'm glad for. Some key details as follows: Bryan specified multiple small windows when a contractor would recommend one big one. Glad we went with several smaller for each area of windows as it gives a more modern look with more flexibility for ventilating high or low. Just looks better too. Great ideas for durable but great looking exterior materials. Kitchen ended up being IKEA but was spec'd to the part number by Bryan. Turned out to be incredible! In general, so much attention to details throughout that we were not even aware of until we look back at the finished project and marvel at everything. It was a very good experience. Felt like we were "taken care of".

I worked with Paul Stankey of Hive Modular to build our modern home in the burbs back in 2008. Paul and all the people at Hive were very easy people to work with. They found a way to hit the sweet spot of service between personal attention/guy next door dialog/we are all in this together/super customized and professional/repeatable process/quality control. I have never worked with an architectural firm before, but I do know that the services and help Hive provided went above and beyond the call of duty.

Paul and the entire group at Hive Modular were very easy to work with. As a client working with Hive they were very helpful in designing a house that we love. As a professional working with Hive they provide the correct information that enables us to put together a quality project that is both beautiful and functional.

We hired Marc Asmus and Hive Modular to design our pre-fab home in New Jersey. The team at Hive was truly amazing - close attention to detail, very patient with our millions of questions, and helped us create a truly unique home that fits our lifestyle perfectly.
