There's no replacement for an architect with lots of great experience. Nick has done the design and…read moreengineering for some projects for my family. My experience with him was a good one. He designed a very nice 2 bedroom guest house for a family and made himself available on short notice several times. He regularly made appearances at my job to check progress and answer questions. Often times a homeowner changes their mind on something during construction and the architect or engineer will be required to sign off on the changes. Having an available architect/engineer that makes themselves available to execute these changes is key if you want your project to remain on time. I would definitely recommend nick to anyone

We entrusted Gannage Construction and design with a complete gut and remodel of my childhood home…read more They offered us designs in a few price ranges and we chose what met our needs/wants the best. With his online app, and change orders were listed and discussed and then agreed upon. It was very transparent. The crew who worked were top notch, and very professional. My questions and concerns always got immediate response. Then there is the work: from top to bottom the home has been perfect. Little items that came up after we moved in were quickly addressed and fixed. I can't imagine he has had a more drastic renovation than ours. It is now a dream/showcase house and we are LOVING it!

Just one highlight: Gannage exceeded the contract price on…read morethe roof he installed (by nearly $20,000 or 40%), but didn't tell me until I (a single woman) agreed to meet at the construction site at night, alone. He did not bring his building partner. He whined and said he "lost track of expenses" but said he asked his wife (I guess that's Keena) what he should do and she said, "She has to pay it." Then he called Mr. Kyle at Kyle roofing who said the same thing. I did call Kyle roofing and spoke to the owner Gordon Splatt who said there is no Mr. Kyle, and also said he had no such conversation, but if he had been asked for advice he would have said he'd never have that problem because his customers know exactly how much they are going to pay before he starts the work. So far I have spent $5,600 in roof repairs (to John Anthony Roofing) but did not have enough money to complete the repairs so my roof is perpetually tarped. ***I signed the new contract for the increased price because he made it clear he wasn't leaving without my signature.*** Right now it's 7/23/24 at 9:41 pm and there are only two other reviews (a fake and effusively praiseworthy one) from "Scott B" and another. Shortly, this business will be flooded with fake positive reviews in an attempt to bury mine and I will get a notice from Yelp telling me the "Yelp community has expressed outrage" and will remove my review. It is worth noting that builder Tony Odenwald reviewed Gannage's work afer I fired him and told me, "This work isn't derelict, It's criminal." I have the receipts.

You are in good hands with Nina! We worked together on a large custom home design for a client and…read moreshe was truly professional, accessible for questions and design changes while also extremely thoughtful about the comprehensive design. I also found her incredibly easy to work with, always ready to lean in as needed when any issues were encountered, offering creative solutions and a beautiful final product. As an interior designer I work with many architects on a daily basis but Nina has earned my respect and I even hope to work with her on the design of my own personal new build.

Our design firm worked with Nina for approximately a year on a luxury vacation home in Hood River,…read moreOregon. She was a large asset to the team and instrumental in the beautiful finished result. She was thoughtful in her solutions, accurate, and team player to our shared client, the builder, and our interior design team. She supported our interior design role and complemented us well. The architecture and finish details of the residential home were sometimes extremely detailed and technical, many times outside of the common practice for the builder and his team. Nina provided technical drawings for the build team - working with the manufacturer's specifications. Some of these products and build practices required her to do a fair amount of research for accurate drawings. I also found Nina able to handle stressful, time sensitive changes in stride with a can-do attitude. When something was urgent she made herself immediately available. I would be delighted to work with her again and recommend her highly.

Dave Ormonde is a superb builder and a fine human being. You will enjoy working with Dave. He is…read morethe first contractor I've met that just sharpens his pencil and gives you exact numbers on pricing, and then he sticks to them. HIs build quality is excellent and he caught several engineering issues (e.g. undersized beams) during construction. He built our custom house (2600s.f.) in the hills west of Atascadero in 2006. Best builder in the county.

Dave is currently building our house in Paso Robles and we could not be happier. We very rarely…read morereview the professionals that we hire so this is a bit unusual for us. We met Dave about a year before we began construction (he was highly referred by a friend), and was absolutely indispensable during the process with the architect and engineers. He saved us tens of thousands of dollars during that troublesome process. His ability to estimate costs is peerless; we came to rely on his guidance in order to stay true to our initial budget. Dave gave us a budget and stuck with it even when costs arose that (I felt) he could have asked us to absorb. You will not meet a nicer or more honest person; there is a very good reason why Dave retains friendships with his clients long after the projects have been completed. I highly recommend Dave and encourage anyone who is considering hiring him to check in with us first.

We interviewed 4 other design firms and hired Jon because he possesses an intimate knowledge of the coastal zone restrictions, is a good listener, and has a good eye for design. Since Omni had all the services we needed under one roof, there wasn't any delay in engineering, surveying, etc. that a client might experience with a stand-alone firm. This translated into our plans getting through the County fairly quickly by SLO standards. Our meetings were expeditious and productive. All communication, whether by email, text or phone, was returned immediately. We had a great rapport with Jon and were very happy that he could translate our scattered ideas and needs into a beautiful design that was within our budget and the very strict Cayucos 'small scale neighborhood' rules. We highly recommend him and the Omni Design Group.
