Have Questions? Here’s What You Need to Know Before Getting Started

  • We focus exclusively on residential projects across the South Bay and Peninsula, including major renovations, home additions, and new homes. Typical construction budgets vary by scope and complexity. Home additions often fall in the $500,000 range and above, while new homes generally start at $1 million and up. Architectural fees are scaled to project size and complexity and are discussed transparently early in the process, so expectations are clear well before construction commitments are made.

  • Every project is unique, but most design and permitting phases take several months. We provide a clear roadmap upfront so you know what to expect from start to finish.

  • Yes. We manage zoning, permitting, and approvals from start to finish so you can focus on your vision while we handle all technical and regulatory details.

  • Starting with an architect ensures your project is fully designed, permitted, and clarified before construction begins. This means you know exactly what your home will look like, how it will function, and what is achievable under city regulations *before committing to any construction contracts*. Once the plans are complete, you have the flexibility to choose any contractor you prefer. We can help evaluate and introduce trusted contractors and assist with pricing so your project moves into construction smoothly and with confidence.
