I have worked with Erik and the Zelta Design team on multiple complex commercial projects, including several locations. Erik is a highly skilled architect who consistently provides thorough site observations, detailed equipment layouts, and expert guidance through the regulatory filing process. His professionalism and attention to code compliance have been instrumental in moving our developments forward.
We are a fast growing company, developing across 3 brands. Zelta is our one stop shop for all of our projects. The communication is great and they are also very timely.
Zelta is a firm that understood both brand efficiency and high-end aesthetics. The team, especially Erik & Katelyn, were professional, reliable and handled everything from the initial drawings to the final construction details flawlessly.
Highly recommend them for any fast-food restaurant project. Excellent quality, strong design concepts, and very professional. They are prompt in responding and always follow up quickly.
Have worked with Erik at Zelta for a long time they are responsive and so helpful. Katelyn is wonderful to work with in my layouts … Great group to work for very professional and responsive.
I highly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful design, strong technical knowledge, and a team that truly understands the bigger picture of building and business.
