    We hired SSA, Inc. for our single family residence remodel and addition project, and closely worked with Sharmila, principal architect at SSA. We are very glad that every phase of the project was very smooth and efficient, and Sharmila was there as a trusted guide at every step from beginning to end. She is very knowledgeable, transparent and able to patiently explains the details - first, she provided us the design options and studies for different scenarios to revamp and extend our existing kitchen and living room; once we settled on a design, she helped us navigate the city permits with the necessary documents and her familiarity with the process and articulate skills with inspection officials were critical in getting the approvals right the first time. We also decided to go with the general contractor she recommended, and together they delivered a high quality construction, paying attention to every detail that fit the outlined budget, timelines, safety and aesthetics. Our project was completed within 4 months of the start of construction on schedule. We highly recommend SSA, Inc. and Sharmila for their professional services.

    Excellent Architect We hired SSA, Inc. for the exterior and interior remodel of our Autobody shop building. It is a challenging project since the building was never upgraded to be current code compliant. There are existing items to be legalized as well. Sharmila, Owner/Principal Architect is very knowledgable, experienced and familiar with city process, current building and fire codes. She is very personable, creative and suggested solutions and design that are both effecient for our setup as well as acceptable by the City. She and her competent, effecient team of engineers delivered design plans, renderings, drawing sets in a fast paced timeline so we do not have lags in our operations. SSA, Inc and team have expereince working with the building departments in all cities in the bay area. They communicate promptly and effectively with plan checkers and building officials. She is a fantastic architect who always works for the best outcome for her client. We are very thankful to have hired her and highly recommend her companys services for your remodel, addition or new construction project.

    I am extremely fortunate to have found Sharmila. She is exactly what I was looking for. I am about to make one of the biggest moves of my life in constructing a new business from scratch and Sharmila can do it all. Think of a wedding planner but for new business construction. She is polite, professional, patient, curteous, accessible, punctual, and she definitely knows her stuff........I found my person!!

    Sharmila is great to work with. She provides designs and city plans in a timely manner. Very responsive and makes herself available when situations arise. She is also very creative on how to resolve issues and repairs per city requirements. Which at the end of the day can save you some money on the project. I have used her on various projects and she always comes through on her work. I definitely recommend using her services.

    Sharmila is fantastic. She works very quickly and figures out how to make time when changes or revisions are needed yesterday. She understands the city permit process, which is helpful in any construction project. She also selects great finishes that take your project to the next level, without it costing too much. She's a team player, collaborates great with the other trades so that ultimately everyone is very happy and very satisfied with the end results.

    Sharmila was the best thing to happen to us on this major home remodel and ADU addition. She was extremely knowledgeable on all aspects from an architect stand point and what is allowed and not allowed from the city. She was very patient with us as we had so many changes and her advice was spot on. She also was able to find us a contractor that was also great. Anything Sharmila touches turns to gold!!

    Sharmila is very sweet, professional and delivers on time. She will listen to your needs and guides you for the same. 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.

    Sharmila is wonderful. She couldn't be more helpful and she moved the project through really fast. I was amazed at how fast and hard she worked. I would recommend her to everyone. We were having a really hard time with another engineering firm and after four months we had gotten no where. Sharmila moved us thorough in less than a month.
