"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."

"My family and I sold our starter home and purchased an upgrade home during the thick of the Covid 19 pandemic. It was a huge risk but it's turning into a great investment. We spent about 3 months renovating our starter home with our previous contractor. Almost all of the work performed was cosmetic so no extensive amount of work such as stripping an area down to the studs was required. Anyhow, most of our experience with contractors up to that point have been cosmetics. After we've purchased our current home, we realized if we wanted to personalize it, we would have to renovate more than 700 square feet, including a 300 square feet of addition. So, how are we to do this in the midst of a pandemic and an economic recession where the cost of labor and goods are ever rising while we have a modest budget?! The only option was to do some extensive cost comparisons. We ended up talking to 12 contractors and interviewed around 8 companies. We limited our choices down to 2: Creation 7 and a Plan B. We ended up choosing Creation 7 because they made us felt comfortable, confident and excited. On top of that, they were able to commit to our modest budget. After speaking to Eyal, the CEO of Creation 7, we signed the contract and paid the deposit in January 2021. Here's where things took a bit left turn on us. Due to the Covid 19 pandemic persisting throughout, doing a huge renovation of this magnitude was becoming ever more challenging. After many months of permit delays, we finally broke ground in the middle of July. The entire work was completed about 5 months. The scope of the work included: Converting an one car garage to a laundry room, master suite, and completely gut the existing bathroom and build an ensuite, plus removing a continuation wall, door to make room for a den. Oh, forgot to mention the city required us to have an one car garage. So, we had to scramble to make room in the budget for a garage. We also added a tankless electric water heater which resulted in another budget increase for an electrical panel upgrade. After a few incremental budget increases, Creation 7's project manager, Guy was able to work with us to perform the scope of the work and still make it affordable. I could go on and on about our experiences with Creation 7, but I'll save you the time and say this: We absolutely love our new home! After all the headaches and stress, this was definitely a successful project and we will recommend Creation 7 to anyone who is looking to hire contractors. Creation 7 cares about their customers and have led us to believe they will do whatever it is in their power to make them happy. For that, we feel privileged and grateful!!"

"Raskop & Lu is professional, patient, and timely for working on any architectural design project. Ryan guided my family and I through many hurdles and always responded in a quick and kind manner. We had never gone through this process so I really appreciate Ryan's patience in explaining the process thoroughly and without judgement. Their pricing is also extremely reasonable. I appreciate all of his work on this project. I will be reaching out to him for future projects without a doubt."

"hired Mark Brand Architecture to design an extensive remodel for my house in San Francisco. Mark and his staff gave me a lot of help during the remodel, especially when it came to working around or through problems that the old structure of the house posed including working with the project engineers. When I had to temporarily stop the remodel due to health issues, Mark and his team stepped in to make sure the job was kept on schedule. I feel they went above and beyond the call of duty with this project."

"Great architect and in addition was immediately responsive to my needs and questions and did high quality work on our home project for a very good price. He was also extremely helpful in navigating the permitting process in San Francisco which I could not have done without his help. I would highly recommend him."
