Soheil picked up and was willing to juggle his schedule around to accommodate our demanding time-frame. He actually arrived a little earlier than promised and immediately started inspecting our rebar work. Soheil probably spent a good 45 minutes observing every single rebar connection on the entire project; I've never witnessed such a meticulous inspection before. In the end, he suggested a couple minor corrections (which we happily made) and gave the city inspector the green light for us to pour. Soheil really came through for us in a tight crunch. If you are a homeowner in need of structural observation services, you will be hard-pressed to find another engineer who is as meticulous, and will make sure your house has been built right.

Arrived on time, was very polite, and very detailed in going over his assessment of our home and even the proposals the other contractors sent us. For significantly less money than the work proposed, he was able to put us on the right track and avoid costly work that wouldn't have addressed our principal concerns. Will definitely be calling Jeff again if we need any future structural work.

I can't recommend Ben enough for any architectural needs, especially if you're navigating the…read morecomplex permit process in Malibu. 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!

When we moved to Oxnard, California two years ago, we did not realize that the parking rules would…read morebe so restrictive. It did not take long for the HOA to make it clear that we had a problem. After a few letters from the HOA delineating the parking rules for both the driveway and the street we searched for a contractor who could remodel the garage to accommodate our 24-foot Sprinter Van. After researching a few companies in the area, we decided on Atlas Builders and Development, Inc. and we were happy to sign a contract with Jacob Lankri, the owner. The first step was to decide on the basic design package. Once that was settled, we submitted the engineered plans to our HOA. After many months of wrangling with the HOA, Gilah Lankri, the project engineer, was able to produce engineered drawings that met the HOA's aesthetics and expectations. Jacob and Gilah submitted the plans to the city of Oxnard. Unfortunately, it took the city of Oxnard a frustrating 10 months to review and approve the plans. All the while, Atlas Builders and Development, Inc. stayed with us determined to get approval. Once we got approval to begin construction in December 2024, the demolition of the old garage was accomplished quite quickly. Even though we hit a snag regarding the Southern California Gas Company line, we eventually got approval to relocate and replace the line which delayed the project 5 weeks. Finally in March 2025 construction of the new Garage began in earnest. Jacob's team, led by an amazing foreman, Edgar, constructed a new elevated ceiling in the garage with new rafters and support beams as well as new tiled roof. The inside of the garage was completely refinished with drywall, texturing and fresh paint. New and improved lighting was installed in the garage along with assorted electrical outlets. The finishing touches included a new door to the backyard, matching the epoxy surfacing on the garage floor and patching preexisting holes in the walls. Outside, new stucco and siding had to be applied as well as painted. The disconnected solar panels and rain gutters were expertly reinstalled. In addition, an area of the driveway had to have pavers reinstalled looking better than before. I addition to the garage remodel project, Atlas Builders and Development, Inc. procured and installed a new sliding glass door complete with a doggy door for access to the back patio. They also removed a set of windows in the dining room and then procured and installed a beautiful set of French doors. Finally, Atlas Builders and Development, Inc. removed an old single front door and expertly installed a beautiful mahogany double front door. All the finishing details were expertly accomplished.

We wanted to express our sincere gratitude for the exceptional service Kobe Structural provided…read moreduring our Junior ADU project in Porter Ranch. The project involved a complex structural modification: connecting two rooms on separate floors via a spiral staircase, which required cutting a 5'x5' opening in the second-story floor. Because this opening was directly connected to a Juliet balcony outside from a 9'x 6' sliding glass door, we were concerned about preventing a collapse when cutting the joists. We are deeply impressed by the expertise, time, effort, and dedication that Kobe and his team devoted to this challenge. They opened up ceilings and walls, calculated loads, worked tirelessly to replace the necessary supporting joists and secure the Juliet balcony. Furthermore, they followed through diligently with the LADBS to ensure our plans were approved. Throughout the entire journey, Kobe team was knowledgeable, honest, and attentive. We are extremely thrilled with the results and grateful for their expertise.

After the 2 month period he barely started working in 1 of the plans only. He lied to me throughout the 2 month period that everything was going as scheduled. After 4 months of delaying , lack of communication, excuses and lies I had to hire someone to pressure and push him to get my plans done. He promised he would have my plans finished and would have Jennifer speed up things and work with us, which the result was the same. A complete nightmare. I got tired of his excuses and unprofessionalism and gave him a couple of deadlines which he didn't meet. So I fired him after 6 months of delaying my project and getting no progress done. Now I am taking this to court to get my $18,000 I paid him and compensation of 6 months for delaying my project. VERY UNRELIABLE
