"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."

"Outstanding, custom service! Bill Fisher is quite simply the best architect in Santa Cruz...not only for my house, but he designed the large residential building on North Pacific and River. Fast, expert, and affordable... Bill will help you navigate the code maze in Santa Cruz and get your plans approved and built. Definitely will use/recommend him again and again."

She helped with my major interior remodeling of my home from design to finish in Dublin including managing city permits and inspections. Helped me to keep the process simple. I would highly recommend her as she acquires great skills and knowledge in design and architectural field."

"Working with David was seamless. He did what he said he was going to do, was on time with his work and the work was exceptional. He needed to work with an engineer to get certain specialized part of my garage to pass with the city but i got approved from the City of Sacramento for my garage rebuild on the first try ! ! I will be working with David in the future and highly recommend him."

"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."

"We decided to remodel our outdated bathroom, and McCormick Home Builders was a fantastic choice. Khaled and the team delivered high-quality work within the timeline and our budget. Every detail, from the tile work to the lighting, was beautifully done. They communicated well throughout, keeping us informed at every step, and the end result was truly a spa-like bathroom we can enjoy daily. We’d love to work with them again!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

The best height for a pizza oven is one that allows the user to easily see what’s going on inside and comfortably place pies without having to crouch over. In general, that means the opening should be between 36 and 48 inches off the ground. By contrast, the height of the dome is totally up to your preference, because different heights create different results. Shorter domes are better for creating Neapolitan-style pies, whereas taller domes are ideal for NY-style recipes.

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

The process typically takes 2-6 weeks, depending on the project size and level of customization.

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.

British architect John Nash is credited with creating the Italianate style of architecture. The style was further popularized in the U.S. by landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing and architect Calvert Vaux. The style spread across the U.S. due to Downing’s popular book on the style and the availability of plans and materials due to the mass production of the Industrial Revolution.
