I would like to share an amazing experience I had dealing with Erik at Square One Design &…read moreDrafting. From the 1st phone conversation I had with Erik, I realized how professional and knowledgeable he is in his field of work and beyond. I am not from Nor. Cal and had to rely solely on the information Erik provided me on the property over the phone/email. He went to the site and took some high resolution pictures that helped me understand the issues we were dealing with. He made it really easy for me to understand the technicalities involved. Further, he even took the time to go to the county and visited the building department for me to check on plans. If you ever need anything done on your property from getting new construction/rehab/addition designs and plans to permits and blueprints, be sure to check with Erik as he is very honest and professional.

Robert Wallis of Wallis Design Studio designed our award winning home in Redwood City. Look under…read morehis news section. He worked tirelessly when any issues came up, is very kind and easy to work with. One big issue that came up that was very difficult for Robert to navigate, that no architect should ever have to face, was helping us identify and fix serious issues after we terminated our original builder. He didn't charge us his five hour each way travel on October 8, 2013 to attend a meeting with Brian the Structural Engineer, a member of the Redwood City Building Department, our replacement builder, Tony of Castillo & Company (see Robert's photo credit of Castillo & Co.), Dave Ross of David Ross Associates and others who graciously attended to help us that day. Robert and Brian were able to fast track the calculations and retrofits to fix the code violations and issues that were not built to the original plans. Thank you, Robert, we are forever indebted to you for your kindness and sympathy, understanding, and also for giving credit on your website to Tony of Castillo & Company, our replacement builder, by listing him as the contractor. I will load a photo of our brown shingled Craftsman style finished SIP structure to show your fabulous award winning design of our home. You deserve all the credit for your creativity and ability to create a design worthy of capturing the city's annual award team's attention. A big heartfelt Thank You! Suzanne Zucker
