Devgroup Architects was started to provide low cost, flat-fee architectural services for East Bay home owners seeking to remodel their homes. We provide only the amount of architectural services that are required to meet design goals and obtain permits for construction. This approach allows home owners to obtain multiple bids from Contractors which reduces costs overall. The overall quality of the end result is increased since we are solely focused on providing good design solutions and the selected Contractor maintains their focus on construction. Most homeowners do not think they can afford or need an architect's services for their remodel projects. However, Devgroup Architects can explain how costs can be reduced and quality increased in simple terms. Contact us for a free consultation.

"I was referred to Phani at AxisTerra Design by structural engineer I hired for my home renovation project to remove load bearing walls in living room. The referral is like god send in a stressful state where my home renovation project permit is pending for 2 months and San Jose city came back asking for kitchen architectural plans for permit issuance. Phani very quickly helped and provided the design plan in two days. He followed up with me multiple times to get all the details needed to avoid back and forth iterations. Phani shared the plans on the same night at 10 P.M. Once, I confirmed the next, he shared the stamped plans. I already referred AxisTerra Design to a friend for his home renovation project, and without any doubt or hesitation recommend AxisTerra Design for any home renovation project."

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."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Designing a building takes 2-6 months, depending on project size, required permits, and revisions.

Choose an architect based on their portfolio, experience with similar projects, client reviews, and whether their design approach matches your vision.

Cathedral ceilings make a statement in your home, but at the cost of your attic space. Normal attics are wide open, which allows warm air to move around and exit your home. Because of this, cathedral ceilings make your home less energy efficient and put your ceiling at risk of venting issues if you’re not careful. They also reduce your attic storage space, potentially cause an echo, and even make it harder to change a light bulb.

Some homes, like those with flat roofs, may not have eaves at all. Some contemporary-style homes also lack eaves, although many may have abbreviated eaves to divert water and protect the walls and foundation. Homes without eaves often have specific types of gutters affixed directly to the edge of the roof to provide adequate drainage.

Blueprints for standard home construction will usually range from $1,500 to $2,500 and average around $1,800. Your pricing will likely be higher if you’re building a custom home, as you’ll need to pay a structural engineer to weigh in on building safety. The size of your project, the number of rooms, and the type of drawings you need can also play a role in your total cost.
