"Franco and his father Rene are experienced architects who came out to the site promptly, game planned a way to get approval for a multi unit triplex from duplex on the spot, and followed through each step of the phase. We successfully were able to get all city approvals in the city of LA. A+ Rating"

"We had a great experience working with Eran. He is a professional and is an expert in his field for our specific project, he handled all the structural work for the seismic retrofit and when my architect had a melt down, he even stepped in and took on that responsibility too. He collaborated with us and we spent the time to understand our needs and where we wanted to take the project. He made our life much easier by getting the building permits and worked with the planning department and the inspectors. Invaluable. We look forward to working with him in our next phase and would recommend him for future work."

"This is my second time working with Encore Builders and they killed it once again! These guys are the best. Iâ ve been doing lots of renovations in my house over the past year. Some of the projects have taken months of planning and work but Encore Builders is always in and out. My home is on a hillside and the backyard area needed some work. Oz and Brandon put together a 3D image and we chose out the style I wanted. I was amazed. Some simple stepping stones really elevated the space. Project took two days and we didnt even notice they were here. The crews were quick but didnâ t compromise the quality of the work. You can tell they are a hardworking company. Very impressed with their work yet again. Thanks Encore Builders team!"

"Our experience with Green Republic Landscapes was outstanding! From the moment we contacted the company we were greeted with friendly voices and deep understanding. Motti, and his team are highly knowledgeable, creative, and professional! Their attention to detail and ability to execute their plan was above what we imagined. We felt listened to and understood! Motti ensured that he talked us through each step of the process and touched base constantly before moving on to the next step. We searched and shopped around and found that Green Repulic Lanscapes pricing is the best one on the market for all they offer and create. If you are looking for landscape professional call Green Republic Landscapes. Ohad & Shirly Bendavid"

"I had a great experience working with Pacific Sands. The team was thorough, detail-oriented, and highly responsive throughout the process. What stood out most was their ability to combine technical accuracy with practical design solutions. They took the time to address questions, explain design considerations, and adjust details when needed — all without sacrificing quality or efficiency. Would definitely recommend!"

"Cipriano has been working with us for 7 years on maintaining our yard. He has a wealth of knowledge on plants, flowers, and trees. He landscaped our front and back yards, which included fencing and irrigation and drainage. When dealt with a problem he is able to provide workable ideas to solve it…which he has done several times for us. He has a “good eye” for what works best and a real passion for gardening and landscaping."

Architects questions, answered by experts

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.

When conducting space planning, building codes and regulations need to be considered. As long as you are taking them into account and discussing them with the architect, you should be able to do your space planning appropriately.

Many drafters go on to continue their education and become architects. Drafting is a necessary skill for architects, so learning drafting is often the first step on a path toward becoming a licensed architect. Drafting can also be a career on its own, with plenty of drafters choosing to specialize and focus solely on drafting.

You should have an architect involved in your project from the very beginning. They’ll be able to direct your vision into workable plans, and they can advise you on potential problems right from the start. You may be able to save money by not using an architect, but larger projects will go much more smoothly with an experienced pro directing the process.

Consulting the architect of your house is not the best way to determine when it was built. Many homes are built by developers or builders, so there may not be a specific architect to track down—especially if you have a very old house. Instead, it’s best to rely on local government records.
