I was referred to EZ Plans through an architect friend of mine and he steered me in the right…read moredirection. EZ Plans helped guide me through the very detailed process of planning, designing and obtaining permits from the city (LA) for an additional dwelling unit (ADU) in my backyard in Northeast Los Angeles. Michael Song, his architect colleagues and the EZ plans team aided me through every step, and even when the permitting process was difficult, they were very attentive to working out all the issues and making sure that my project was on the right path to coming to fruition. We worked together on this ADU during the pandemic which posed even more challenges, but EZ Plans made the process, like it says in their name, easy. I am just a couple weeks away from breaking ground and I am beyond thrilled to see the vision that EZ Plans and I put on paper come to life. If you want an architectural group who will be committed to your project in an efficient and honest way, while offering their services at a very competitive price, EZ Plans is for you.

EZ Plans is a highly toxic environment. Mark and Raymond Joelson scream and berate clients and…read morestaff alike. There has been a huge shake up there with one of the main partners leaving under very atrocious and shocking circumstances with the other partners We got stuck in the middle because not knowing this individual no longer worked there, we emailed him at his EZ Plans email address. That's when the yelling and threats began from Mark at EZ Plans. After being yelled at and screamed at, we decided the client relationship had been irreparably damaged and that we could no longer work together. We reviewed the contract and deliverables and determined that only 2 of the 5 had been delivered. That means 60% was not delivered. In an effort to part amicably, we asked only for a 50% refund of the money as we will need to spend it with another firm but were told the money was non-refundable. Next they formally terminated the relationship (which we had already done) but kept my 80 year old mother's money. My 80 year old mother has now filed a small claims suit asking for a full refund along with punitive damages.

My babies are growing rapidly, and with plans to expand my family next year, it was simply time to increase living space. Mid-Cities Engineering came as word-of-mouth recommendation. I was a little hesitant to be working with a company that was not local to The Valley, but I saw the beautiful work that was completed for my friend and knew I could trust Ivan to help me create my dream home. I wish there was a proper adjective to describe Ivan. He truly is creme de la creme- always so kind, answering a multitude of questions without ever losing his patience, even when he has to repeat himself. The level of detail and care is absolutely unparalleled. Ivan doesn't pass you off once you've decided to work with MCE- he's personally committed to your project as if it were his own home. I cannot wait to see the final outcome. I have no doubt that it will be a beautiful home for my babies to grow up in, and a beloved place for my family to create many precious memories in the years to come. Thank you so much in advance, Ivan!

There are not enough words of praise to even begin describing the exceptional service that Ivan…read moreprovided in the last year. As this is my first project, I had no idea what to expect and pretty much am surviving the process by the 'ignorance is bliss' motto because I blindly trusted him. My gut instinct was not wrong. The lengths that Ivan went through to ensure that my 1,200 square foot project went as smoothly as possible is unsurpassed. He was available for every text, phone call, and email after hours and on the weekends (my project is in Sherman Oaks). Not once did Ivan lose his patience with me (I know I was plenty neurotic). He was on the phone for countless hours with the City of Los Angeles, making sure that my project was progressing (it's always a nightmare dealing with the city, but exacerbated with this pandemic). Ivan presented options for different crews and negotiated fantastic prices for my project. We've hit a few bumps along the way, but I could always rest assured that Ivan would resolve my issues. I'm ecstatic to be nearing the finish line (I'm certain Ivan is too, but for different reasons, haha). Thank you so much, Ivan! I appreciate you more than you will ever know.

I had been thinking of building an ADU for a long time and finally had the team at EZ Plans come…read moreout and take a look at my project. They were highly recommended to me by people I trust. 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.

I wish I could go back in time so I wouldn't make the mistake of hiring Pickard. If you are…read morelooking to complete a project in a timely fashion, without mistakes, and with someone that actually follows through with the project, please look elsewhere. Pickard delayed my project, made mistakes, and he was nowhere to be found when the city inspections took place. Then at the end, he had the audacity to charge me more in order to complete what he was legally obligated to prepare within the contract price. I had no other option than to pay him just to get city approval and be done with this unprofessional company. Mind you, this wasn't an insignificant project, this was a 1 million+ project. At the beginning, he does whatever he can to entice you to use him. He will say that he's a licensed attorney so he can deal with any city hiccups, that he has worked on big projects with well-known companies, such as Disney, and everything under the sun. Once you hire him, good luck getting him to perform. I had stressed to him that time was of the essence. I needed this project to completed ASAP. I guess ASAP has a different meaning to him. Well, I hired him in March 2015 and in August 2018 I was still dealing with him. That's when he and his friend were holding part of my plans hostage in exchange for additional payment. Then the lies. During the city permit process, he would tell me that the city was to blame for the delays. Well, I called the city and it turned out that the city had requested the same thing from him three different times and he wouldn't provide what they were asking for him. So, he was the cause of the delay - he didn't know what he was doing. My contractor found so many mistakes on the plans, that I couldn't believe that a licensed architect would allow such to be presented to the city. For example, he had wall lights as the lights that would go on the parking lot light posts. Then, he would include interior light fixtures that wouldn't be supported with the wiring inside the building. He will push for his contractor to be hired. The contractor underprices everything so that he can present to you a low bid, and then I am sure once you hire him he will say that the allowances are not sufficient to cover whatever material it was allocated to. There were sooooo many issues with Pickard that it would take weeks for me to finish this review. Just avoid yourself the headache and DON'T use him. He's unprofessional, a liar, doesn't know what he is doing, and has no business being in business.
