I want to add to an already outstanding list of reviews of Plan and Permit to write a review about…read moreRon and his colleagues. We hired Ron to do the architectural plans for the remodel of a fourplex. He came in with a fancy camera scanner to measure everything, a very efficient process. He was very much on time with the delivery of the initial draft. We discussed minor changes and submitted to the city, and they had just had a few minor corrections before approval, which is better than other architectural teams I have worked with. After we began work on the project, we discovered a beam in the ceiling was not pointing in the right direction, leading to the need for a revision to the plans. The engineer Margarito went on site and approved changes, which allowed us to quickly adapt. Overall this was a very streamlined process, I would be happy to use his services in the future and can very much recommend him.

We used Plan and Permit for a small home addition and had a great experience. Ron was really easy…read moreto work with and did a great job explaining the whole process upfront, especially since we were new to permits and planning. The timeline was totally reasonable (honestly, my slow email responses probably added more time than anything on their end), and the plans were approved by the city on the first try, which was a huge relief. It was also hard to find someone willing to take on a smaller project at a fair price, and they were very thorough. Even months later, they've still been responsive with follow-up questions from our contractor. Would definitely recommend, especially for smaller renovations or additions.

We had a great experience working with Ramy on our ADU project. From the very first interaction, he…read morewas extremely responsive and professional. 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.

He works extremely fast and drew up & made city revisions very quickly. I appreciate his attention to detail and highly recommend him for any design work!

But this place is so careless in terms of service that I wouldn't want another person trying to build an ADU to fall victim to this place. Just move on.

We hired BIMCAD to prepare construction plans for a project in Lake Arrowhead. Unfortunately, the…read moreplans contained multiple issues that prevented them from being approved by the county. After months of back-and-forth and paying additional fees for revisions, the plans still did not meet the requirements for resubmittal. The most basic things were omitted (measurements for setbacks) and when we approached James about it, he denied any wrongdoing or fault in the matter. Ultimately we had to hire a different professional and start over from scratch, losing significant time and money in the process. This hurt our family financially. I see other people have had similar experiences so I would heed warning. James was a very eloquent speaker and seemed very knowledgeable, but when it came down to it, his plans were unusable and he wasted months of our time.

We used Bimcad a few days ago and James was extremely helpful. He walked us through the estimate…read moreand there was no ambiguity and explained each charge and why it was necessary. Plus, for a few items that were out of this scope of work, he was still able to point us in the right direction for what type of professional services we needed. He went out of his way to make our project go smoothly. P.S. I read a couple of poor reviews and the Bimcad response to them, and word for word, the bimcad response is what James told us up front about what to expect. There were no surprises on our end, as one of the complainer guys said, because all the details were told to us prior to starting.

It was our first experience working with an architect and we could not be happier. Miguel impressed us from the start - he showed up at our mountain home, walked the property and then spent several hours getting measurements and drone footage to begin the design process.  Miguel has great energy and positive constructive ideas that really make the process fun. He was very flexible with changes as we went through each meeting until we came to the final design. He also did an amazing job presenting plans to the city and helping us get through the second review they requested.  We really love that his team does life like renderings which helped us visualize exactly what the finished project would look like. If we ever do another project we will definitely use them again - we highly recommend their services. Really a top-notch classy firm ... and fun to work with!
