"Working with Francisco and his team was amazing! From start to finish, they made the whole process of remodeling my house so easy and stress-free. Francisco really listened to what I wanted and came up with creative ideas. He was very responsive and always kept me in the loop. The final result is even better than I imagined. My house looks incredible and I’ve gotten so many compliments from friends and family."

"Bill Fisher provided outstanding services in a somewhat difficult situation as our house was severely damaged by a giant tree fall and had to be rebuilt almost entirely. Bill and his team's were invaluable in helping us redesign the house, handle some of the insurance paperwork, provide the necessary documentation to adjust the claim, deal with the Santa Cruz county administration, connect us with our general contractor ... It was a real pleasure working with Bill and I would highly recommend him to anybody for any project."

"To find someone who is a nice, easy going professional, knowledgeable in design and construction, good communication skills and down to earth person is difficult, however, Sharmila is all this... She is a motivated architect, designer, yet takes what the clients are looking to do and will provide her input as the progress and process continue forward throughout."

"Shilpa working with her structural engineer completed all the architectural and structural plans and calculations for a 400SF single story addition, complete with drilled piers and grade beams, in just over two months for submittal to City for review. Shilpa is very easy to work with and is quite readily available to fit my work and project schedule. Shilpa is very responsive to my comments and timely completion of required documents. Cost is reasonable. City has few review comments and issued permit for construction. I would definitely retain Shilpa again when the need comes up."

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring RASA Construction Inc to remodel my home, focusing specifically on ensuring that my loft area and bedroom met the San Joaquin County Standards and complied with local laws. I am thrilled to say that they did a superb job! The team, led by the primary engineer Omid, was exceptional in every aspect. From the initial consultation to the final touches, Omid and his team demonstrated a high level of professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. They took the time to understand my vision and translated it perfectly into the finished project. Omidâ s knowledge of local building codes and standards was impressive, ensuring that every aspect of the remodel was up to code and beyond my expectations. The craftsmanship and quality of work were outstanding. RASA Construction Inc not only met but exceeded all my expectations. They were punctual, respectful, and maintained a clean work environment throughout the project. Any concerns or questions I had were promptly addressed, and Omid kept me informed every step of the way. I highly recommend RASA Construction Inc for anyone seeking a reliable, skilled, and customer-focused construction company. They have transformed my home into a beautiful and compliant space, and I couldnâ t be happier with the results. Thank you, Omid and the entire RASA team, for your superb work!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

Universal design is a design concept that states that products, spaces, and general environments are designed to be used by everyone, with an emphasis on accessibility for those with limited mobility or other special needs.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

An architect is usually involved in the process of determining the layout and structural features and requirements of the home itself, taking into account the local codes, climate, and materials needed to make the home structurally sound. Architects may communicate more with contractors and subcontractors throughout the building process. In comparison to architects, interior designers typically focus on the aesthetics of a home interior and possibly exterior, helping the homeowner decide on color schemes, textures, and materials to incorporate into the design. 

Architects often oversee project management to ensure design adherence, coordinate with contractors, and address onsite challenges.

Universal design costs can be minimal when you add them during construction; however, adding universal design principles to existing homes can sometimes increase renovation costs. For example, a mid-grade bathroom remodel is estimated to cost around $30,000, while a standard universal design remodel can cost closer to $40,000. Adding accessible design components can include widening hallways ($500 to $2,000), curbless showers ($2,000 to $8,000), and widening doors ($400 to $800). Keep in mind that these increased costs can lead to higher resale values because universal homes may appeal to a wider variety of buyers.
