Featured Reviews for Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in San Marcos

Buffett Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in San Marcos
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 5, 2015
“After meeting with a few different architects, we hired Buffett Design for our whole house remodel. Tyler is friendly, real, and was very understanding in regards to our constantly changing ideas. When it was difficult for us to visualize the space based on the 2D sketches, he created a 3D walkthrough experience on the computer for us. This was so helpful for us to "walk through" the new space before construction even started!”
Brewster's Drafting House
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in San Marcos
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 4, 2022
“Brewster Drafting House is a GO-TO Choice for David Michael Designs, we have worked together for years now and he is one of the most responsive and clearly talented designers around. We have since worked on countless projects and I would highly recommend him time and time again. His work is fast, clean, sharp, and on budget. He is well versed in Lumion, and SketchUp as well as Chief Architect. I can not say enough good things here, it's a no-brainer choice. Our last client told me that he was so impressed with Brewsters 3D, that his wife was not sure how we had "Built" the house before we even completed the blueprints. She had thought the 3D designs were real..! - Davis Micahel”
VRchitects
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in San Marcos
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 9, 2022
“As a custom home builder I can truly appreciate the mind for building design Daniel Hruby has and detail he puts into the plans. We’ve worked with him on several projects. One recent project had many challenges as It involved placing a real DC 3 airplane wing in the custom home! I was on the phone and FaceTiming Dan regularly during the process. Dan made up numerous 3d models to help us and the engineers conceal all the structural steel. Dan also provided the clients full 3d models of the build, down to the detail of how the seasonal sun will show through the windows at different times through out the day. Putting on the VR goggles and being able to virtually walk through the entire project prior to it being built, really helped us as a builder visualize what the end product was intended to look like. The clients thought it was really cool as well!”
Abode
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in San Marcos
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 19, 2016
“Ashley is OUTSTANDING. Currently she is our real estate agent. My husband and I feel so comfortable with her and trust her advice and skill. She is extremely honest and points out many different aspects about the houses- both the good and the bad. She has been incredibly patient with us while we search for the "perfect" house. She is unbelievably accommodating and responsive to our requests to schedule a viewing. She really does have our best interest in mind and is invested in our decision. We really would be lost without her. The best part about looking at houses with Ashley is that we know we will continue to utilize her extensive knowledge after we decide on a home. She has a unique ability to envision all the potential in a home to help us make it truly ours. I have recommended Ashley to several of my friends and will continue to do so! Thank you, Ashley, for making this would-be stressful process so fun!”

Kristin von Zweck, Architect
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in San Marcos
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 19, 2014
“Kristin designed the remodel for my home in Encinitas. In a matter of a few hours she overcame design problems we had been struggling with for months, then went on to polish the design into a stand-out plan that has been a joy to live in. This was a complete home remodel. We expanded the master bath, added a new bath, moved and expanded the kitchen, expanded the living room, and added a studio. The end result took advantage of our 180-degree view (which the original design didn't) and cost far less than selling and moving into a comparable property with a similar view, if we had been able to find one.”

To take a look, visit YOU TUBE and input San Clemente Cooking School Wine Pairing Dinner! Thank you Christine and Carolyn for a job well done, on time, and on budget!

BY Building Design
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in San Marcos
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsMay 24, 2013
“We have used to Bob Yabarra on 3 projects that required as built drawings, and a two story house renovation. The products were professional, per our agreement, on time, and for a fare price. He is fare and though we made changes there was never an extra charge to us.”
Allenbach Architecture
Architects, Architecture Firms, & Building Designers in San Marcos
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 25, 2017
“Mr. Allenbach has been very instrumental in my success as a builder in Southern California. I have had the pleasure of working with him over the past 10 years and is always surprising me on his vast knowledge of architecture and the building industry. He keeps his commitments and is always reasonable with his fees. I couldn't think of using anyone else for my drawings.”

Is the scope of your home design project beyond simply replacing countertops or flooring? It’s the responsibility of a San Marcos home architect to transform human needs and desires into visual concepts and habitable structures. When you hire an architectural designer, you are not only hiring someone for their architectural services, but also to manage and coordinate other parties involved in the project. As you search through local San Marcos, CA architectural firms and designers, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one: 

How do I find the best San Marcos residential design architect for my project?


It is best to hire a residential architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. They are often the first person you will hire for your project, and it's common for architects' contractors, or subcontractors, to prefer working with one another, which means better relationships and smoother work on your home. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants, from builders, to engineers and even landscapers. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the San Marcos residential architect you hire. He or she can be the tie-breaking vote between you and the general contractor and can be your biggest advocate during the construction process. Different residential architecture firms in San Marcos, CA provide different services, so the scope of the work can span from pre-design environmental impact studies to selecting furniture and finishes, depending on what your specific needs are.

Questions to ask prospective San Marcos interior architects:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Do you have professional liability insurance?
  • Can you handle my special requests (ADA, LEED etc.)?
  • What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
  • What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with your vision.)
  • Will you help with hiring a general contractor and subcontractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
