He is incredibly quick to understand our vision and always manages to refine it into an even more practical and well-structured design. Matt's efficiency is remarkable -- he works with both speed and precision -- and his strong professional relationship with the Torrance City planning department made our permit process smooth and surprisingly fast. What we appreciate most is Matt's ability to provide us with the most optimized solutions for our home remodels. His expertise, professionalism, and problem-solving skills have truly exceeded our expectations. We are deeply grateful for his guidance and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-tier architect who delivers both creativity and results.

They were excellent. I can't begin to express my gratitude to them. They did an excellent job with managing expectations, pushing back at the City when appropriate, collaborating with an HOA (not fun or easy), and communication. The JSA team is diligent with time tracking and the use of Asana to track tasks internally and to provide outstanding customer service. They have experience bringing projects to the City's Architectural Review Board, but in our situation, they argued convincingly that our project (which sought to complete an emergency repair to address safety and water intrusion issues) should get a waiver. I found JSA originally by perusing meeting minutes for projects using James Hardie plank.

Justin not only delivered as promised but also stayed in constant communication with me. If I had a question about the design or the process he made himself available and helped me.

When he came out to take measurements, he offered smart suggestions that made our project more cost-effective while also adding long-term value to our home. Ramy delivered the plans ahead of schedule and took the time to walk us through everything in person. The city of Claremont's permit requirements are very strict, and it was clear that Ramy knew what the city would require. When the city had requests we didn't agree with, he communicated directly with the city planner on our behalf and guided us through the process with confidence and clarity. You get what you pay for with Ramy--his work is high quality, detailed, and thoughtful. His expertise, responsiveness, and professionalism made a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We highly recommend him for any home or ADU project. He is absolutely worth it.

Deservedly so. Ray and Leslie are a gem. Their team, including Michael Song and Pilar Mutec, were a pleasure to work with. I am fairly detail oriented and Pilar was so easy to work with through my multiple design changes. She showed me multiple renderings and made changes as requested on the renderings, with Mike amending the plans as needed. All the while guiding me along the way. I was minutes away from getting a variance from the DWP to allow my ADU to come within the set back from the power poles when the Palisades' fire started. The EZ Plan's team fully cooperated when the DWP said no, and redrew my plans from scratch. They helped me qualify the contractors and walked me through the differences in the bids. Whenever I had a question during the construction process, they were there to help and guide me along the way. A BIG thank you to the EZ Plans team for making their part of the construction process as easy as it could have possibly been.

The craftsmanship throughout the project was truly impressive, and the quality of the finished work exceeded my expectations. Sagi Paul, the contractor, was extremely attentive to detail and remained closely involved throughout the renovation. He took the time to make sure every aspect of the project was completed properly, and I could not be happier with the end result. The entire LUX Builders team was professional, responsive, and accessible from start to finish. Mindy Lockhart and Rachael Ibarra were always available to answer questions, address my concerns, and keep me informed throughout the process. Their communication and support made a complex renovation feel much more manageable. I also greatly appreciated how respectful the construction team was of my home and property, especially since I continued living in the house during the renovation. They were courteous, considerate, and worked hard to minimize the disruption as much as possible. I would highly recommend LUX Builders to anyone looking for a reliable, detail-oriented, and highly skilled team for a home renovation.

While many may view architects as simply artists, an architect's greatest tool is his/her expertise and ability to navigate through red tape and turn a concept into a reality. He is an expert on building codes and spoke the "language" with the city's planners. A lesser architect would not have been able to obtain a green light for our vision as smoothly as Gilliland Architects did. Dana was a consummate professional.
