Ellen and team are a pleasure to work with. They take ownership of their portion of the design, drawing development and creation, and work seamlessly with the engineers producing the calculations for the project. They also work through any details that come up during the permitting process for clarification by adding those details to the plan set and answering any questions that may arise. They are extremely conscientious and helpful throughout the entire process of your project regardless of size or complexity.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I had the pleasure of working with The Design & Building Works for the architecture plans on my ADU project—a garage conversion at my rental property. From start to finish, Ellen was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. As an owner-contractor with no prior experience, I had a lot of questions, and Ellen always took the time to explain things clearly and thoroughly. She helped guide me through the entire planning process, making sure every detail was thought through and compliant. I truly felt like I had a partner in this project, not just an architect. I highly recommend Ellen and the team at The Design & Building Works for anyone taking on an ADU or any residential design work!

Ellen and Michel of Design and Building Works have been drafting deck plans for my company, Deckmaster Fine Decks, Inc. for over 10 years. They are great to work with and provide accurate plans. I would recommend them to anyone who needs plans drafted, whether you are a contractor or owner. If you want highly reliable service, you will not be disappointed.
