Commitment to excellent service and professional knowledge are key factors for the success of Sun Architecture. Solving the budget, functional, and meeting regulation constrains requires the skills and talents of our experienced team of professionals. The design team of Sun Architecture believes that the interaction between Client and Architect can produce buildings that withstand the changes of fashion and time. The best projects emerge from the cues of the site, sun and climate. A complete design considers both the interior and exterior of the building as a totally integrated effort. Our team members interact continuously from concept to construction. Sun Architecture produces clear, understandable presentations of project concepts and design. We bring projects to fruition with a clear, detailed set of construction documents. Our commitment continues through bidding and construction administration, until the project is complete.

"Just me George Sun a month ago to discuss what we (wife/I) wanted to do to our existing resident. So far is very courteous and knowlegeable in all aspect of his job. But rate someone at this time is impossible. Please resubmit this at latter time. Will complete this when the job is done Thanks"

Mark Brand Architecture's award-winning architecture and interior design studio balance high design with practicality, combining understated elegance with elements of drama. Our goal is to exceed our clients' expectations by maintaining a creative, enjoyable and efficient relationship between the owner, architect and contractor from the beginning of design through completion of construction. No job is to big for us, and we always deliver professionalism and excellent work to all of our clients. For an architect you can trust, give us a call today!

"Mark Brand asked all of the right questions and worked tirelessly with the city permit department to make sure everything we wanted to do would be approved. Beyond being amazing on the phone with the city, his design fit with our mid-century home and anyone who has seen it is amazed at the transformation of our small back yard. We started this project with Mark in 2019, long before COVID-19, and completed the major construction in October of 2020. The actual construction began in May 2020 with demo, to completion in October 2020. Mark and his staff were with us through the entire process, communicating with our Contractor and Pool installer and keeping everyone in the loop and on track. I had never worked with an architect before, and feel grateful that my first experience was with Mark Brand and his team. Fees are explained up front, and although the fees were a healthy part of our budget, I know I got what I paid for! Communication with email and phone calls, as well as site visits were always timely, with any issues explained and problems worked through and resolved to avoid delays."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

In most states, you can build an in-law suite on your property as long as you follow local building codes. However, it's important that you have enough space on your property to accommodate the new structure. A functional in-law suite in your backyard will require between 300 and 800 square feet of space.

It pays to hire a project manager or general contractor when you have a large-scale project that will take over a week to complete, especially when it involves structural changes and multiple subcontractors. This includes hiring a general contractor to build a house, add an extension, or manage other projects that need a building permit.

Remodeling a house is often less expensive than building a new house. You can expect to pay an average of $100 per square foot when you are remodeling. The cost to build a house averages about $150 per square foot. When remodeling, though, some rooms cost more than $100 per square foot and some cost less. Use a home renovation cost estimator to accurately estimate your remodeling costs.

On average, the cost of a home builder is about $150 per square foot, but that price can range from around $100 to $400 per square foot or more. That puts the typical price range of a standard, 2,000-square-foot house between $200,000 and $800,000. Some factors that affect the price of hiring a home builder include the following:

  • Location of your home and the living cost in the area

  • Type of foundation and framing you choose

  • Quality of the building materials

  • Footprint and layout of the house

  • Number of stories

  • Builder’s experience

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build one from scratch. First of all, new construction mortgage interest rates are often higher than traditional loans. Also, when building a home, you're covering the cost of brand-new finishes, appliances, electrics, plumbing, utility hookups, and labor. Between the cost of labor and permits, building a home will often cost more in the long run.
