Customer Success Stories

Trusted by Sonoma County Homeowners & Builders

We partnered with Scott for a major home renovation and couldn't be happier with the results. Scott had multiple areas of expertise that made him extremely well-suited for our project. As a structural engineer with experience in construction, able to draw architectural plans and help us work through the permitting process with the City, we were able to move from ideas to a building permit, working with a single person. This made the process faster, cheaper, and easier.

Scott's calm, straight-forward communication style helped us feel at ease throughout the process. His focus was on making sure we had a clear understanding of our vision and working with us to solve the challenges that our design presented. In the end, Scott was able to turn our ideas into beautiful, structurally-sound architectural plans. We would definitely work with him again in the future.
