"Very honest engineer. He performed a mandatory seismic inspection that was required for the city of Hayward. There was no foundation issue whatsoever. Before Mr Padir did the inspection I had a retrofit company look at my building and they told me it would cost $58k to fix the problem and I almost fell for it. It turns out that one joist was rotten from a sewer leak that was repaired. It is hard to find honest people these days. I am so glad it is only a cosmetic fix and a sister joist installed next to it to relieve the pressure on the building. Thank you once again Mr. Padir. Excellent job and quick turnaround."

"I had the pleasure of working with Igino Pellizzari on several projects for our home in Novato, CA, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He designed several stunning pergolas that have transformed our outdoor spaces into inviting extensions of our home. He also developed a thoughtful concept for a barn and guided us through multiple design concepts for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) for our daughter s family. Throughout the process, he balanced creativity with practicality, offering innovative solutions while keeping our goals and budget in mind. What impressed us most was his ability to listen carefully, provide thoughtful insights, and bring a high level of professionalism to every stage of the project. I wholeheartedly recommend Igino to anyone seeking a building designer who combines vision, skill, and genuine care for his clients"

"Good, he was easy to work with and did a good job coming up with plans and getting them through the permit approval process."

"OMG, what a great experience! Team2 came up with a great design for our home addition, was detailed in design and requested changes and worked with us through the city process for permits. The addition turned out great and would thoroughly recommend Team2 to any person seeking professional architect services."

"Christopher prepared a great plan for my building permit application. He is a very skilled professional and created an excellent detailed design. He is a good guy to work with, affordable services, would be happy to hire again."

"I hired Liberty drafting for a custom build and they made the whole process very simple and enjoyable"

"Exceptionally competent high level professional Architect and building permit facilitator. He has my highest recommendation with no reservations. Ted Vinson, Ph.D., PE"

"Very quick and easy to work with. The drawings and the design for our project was perfect! Thank you!"

"I worked with Jamie on a complex AB-2533 project in Marin, and he absolutely delivered. He created fully stamped plans that met every Marin County Fire Department requirement, stayed on scope and on budget, and most importantly guided me through an unusually challenging permitting process. Jamie is professional, reliable, extremely knowledgeable about Marin’s codes, and communicates clearly at every step. If you want an architect who can navigate the county, produce high-quality plans, and actually get your project over the finish line, Jamie is the one. Highly recommended."

My office has provided design and architecture services for the past 20+ years throughout the Bay Area. I engage many different project scales, from interior renovations, to small additions, to entirely new homes and sites.\n\nI enjoy collaborating closely with clients to shape their initial goals and needs into a design concept, which helps to guide the project from start to finish. By using plan diagrams, design options explored in 3D, and reference images, we can quickly test different ideas and resolve the look and feel of your project.\n\nI especially enjoy projects that respond to the specifics of each building or site, and strive to creating meaningful connections between indoor and outdoor environments. Regardless of project size, I strive to exceed client expectation and provide complete and professional services from project start, to permitting and on to the construction phase.
