"I reached out to Geico Builders through referral program. Project Manager Mila was super responsive and came out to give me ideas and quote. Once we agreed to the bid they were able to start work in just a few days. I already had a plan and plant list from a landscape architect so I was able to share those documents with them. I had biggest issue with the goffers all over my front yard, the suggestion that Mila gave me was priceless. The way how they did concrete an the amount of rebars they use I knew at that time this concrete stays here for a very long time! Team worked very quickly and efficient always left the job site clean when they left for the day. Mila was also helpful when we added more elements to the original plan. I got several quotes for this job and Geico Builders beat them all. The quality of the work was great so I feel like I got a great deal. Geico Builders thank you so much for all your hard work. We love our new yard!"

"Carlos and his team were very professional (quick to respond, attentive to details, clean site, proper expertise). They applied themselves with patience, perseverance and artistry in dismantling and rebuilding the wall, stone by stone, while anchoring it with mortar as necessary. I intend to hire Carlos again for multiple projects. Thank you for your great work and professionalism."

"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 did an amazing job designing an addition to a home we bought. It included remodeling an extra framed garage into a master bedroom suite, laundry room and powder room plus adding to its size . The project also included doubling a great room to blend into the house with the new suite as well as opening up the kitchen to this great room and raising the ceiling . The design blends really well and will provide a nice open plan for living and entertaining I was impressed with how well Shilpa understood what we wanted and executed the plans in the time frame promised if not earlier. She also pushed it thru the planning dept. with minimal need for changes. The project is on going and is moving along well Shilpa is always available to answer questions as things progress. The contractor feels she is easy to work with as well. I really enjoyed working with Shilpa and easy her demeanor ."

"Omid and his team built a brand new bathroom in my home. The work was complicated as the home was just built in 2020. The foundation was concrete as thick as 18 inches with post tension cables running through. Omid laser mapped everything and determined the depth of plumbing through precise calculations. His team worked very carefully excavating through the concrete to then go 6 feet deep and access the main plumbing line and then perform all the work to connect the rest of the new plumbing, required by the new bathroom. Omid also utilized the space to the maximum and the bathroom looked much bigger than I had initially thought. The finishing was splendid with octagonal marble tiles aligned to perfection, additionally Omidâ  s team worked on extending storage spaces under the stairwell to further maximize storage value for us. I would highly recommend Omid. He and his team worked round the clock and even on weekends. I was really impressed by their schedule. I have heard horror stories where contractors leave work in the middle of the project or take up multiple assignments and only spend a few hours a day. But with Omid I was pleasantly surprised by the 8 hour work days and when they were running behind they were coming over weekends as well. Great job done at the end!!"

Architects questions, answered by experts

While classic Palm Springs architecture in the Palm Springs area will naturally cost more due to the high cost of living, prices across the rest of the country will vary. Remember that older homes, including those built before 1970, will cost more to renovate due to updated building codes—something to keep in mind when considering the upfront cost of the house.

Many architects offer 3D modeling and virtual walkthroughs, which allow clients to visualize the project and make informed decisions before construction begins.

While possible for small projects, professional designers ensure compliance with building codes and structural integrity.

There are differences between universal design and ADA accommodations, but the outcomes are often similar. While universal design is a proactive process that takes a social justice approach to accessibility for all, ADA accommodations are focused specifically on accessibility for individuals living with disabilities. ADA accommodations often take the shape of wider doors and hallways, ramps, elevators, lower counters and sinks, and easy-to-grab door handles; universal design can include these plus emphasize better lighting, tractioned floors, and other building elements that allow all people to use buildings more comfortably.

Depending on what the blueprints are for, a qualified draftsperson, contractor, or architect can draw them up. In some cases, including specialty permitting for a build, you may be required to use a licensed architect. 

In many cases, a blueprint drawn up by a certified professional is required before a city or municipality approves a permit.
