Peter was phenomenal, and one of his architects, Akram, was equally incredible throughout the entire process. They were exceptionally clever with permitting strategies, highly knowledgeable with the city, and always on top of communication and next steps. We were in a tricky permitting situation that lasted nearly a year, and they stuck with us every step of the way. I genuinely felt like we had true partners throughout the entire journey. Their expertise as architects, structural engineers, and city experts made an overwhelming process feel manageable and collaborative. Thanks to their work, we now live in an amazing home with a beautiful ADU and large addition that our family loves. We are incredibly grateful.

Great experience! They are friendly, helpful, and don't add any unnecessary extra charge.read more

From the very beginning, Ben has been incredibly professional, attentive, and proactive. What truly sets him apart, however, is his genuine heart and empathy for his clients. My mother's business had to be put on hold during this process, which was an unexpected and stressful time for our family. Ben didn't just treat us like another project; he truly understood our situation. He worked tirelessly to resubmit plans and handle corrections as fast as possible because he genuinely wanted my mom to be able to get back to work and reopen her shop. It's rare to find someone who takes your personal success so personally. Beyond his expertise, Ben's pricing is very reasonable and fair, he is not overpriced at all, which is hard to find in this area. He was also incredibly helpful and understanding by allowing us to pay in installments while the business was closed. This financial flexibility was a lifesaver for us and showed his true character as someone who wants to help, not just make a profit. If you want an architect who is highly skilled, honest, and truly cares about your family and business, Ben is the one to call. We are so grateful for everything he's done. Thank you Ben!

I received quotes from a couple of companies, and while these guys weren't the cheapest, they were definitely the most knowledgeable and took the time to clearly explain how the repairs would be done. They completed the job in just two days and repaired two addional piers, and everything went smoothly. I do have a slight squeeze in one area of the floor in my raised home, and I'm currently waiting for them to come back and take a look at it. I know pier repair is not much complicated but their crew was professional and their price was reasonable. I would highly recommend these folks.

But now I'm very happy that Sam decided to take on the job and develop the structural calculations and drawings for removing a load bearing and shear wall at my Condo. The Project started in September 2025 with initial submittal of permit application package to the City. It went into construction about four (4) weeks ago and was successfully completed today (5/8). During the process, we developed trust for each other. I contacted Sam numerous times for questions, problems and consultations and he was always responsive. He and my architect friend worked together to develop the initial design but had to modify it to overcome a major obstacle that came up during the construction. He came over for construction observations and gave instructions to the contractor how to strap the beams together for maintaining structural integrity of loading and shearing. His fees were much lower than another builder whom I also got a bid from, and his approach to things was much simpler and yet conservative to that from the other firm. I told Sam, whether it is good or bad, I don't usually do reviews for others. But for him, I will do one. I'm thankful to have a great team of Sam (the engineer), my architect friend, and excellent construction crew to help me complete this project.

Sam gave us a play by play for nearly every visible piece of wood, drywall and foundational crack across the entire house. What was "scary" to us, turned out to be no big deal, but some other aspects we'd been less concerned with, were a bit more serious. We have our marching orders and feel much more confident in how to monitor our home over time and what to expect, and ask for, with contractors, moving forward. I'm truly grateful for Sam's wise counsel.
