Featured Reviews for Drafting Companies in San Diego 5-Star

VRchitects
Drafting Companies in San Diego 5-Star
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!”
Buffett Design
Drafting Companies in San Diego 5-Star
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!”
Marengo Morton Architects
Drafting Companies in San Diego 5-Star
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 11, 2012
“Renovating your home is a once in a life time experience and there are so many details I was nervous. Working with Claude-Anthony Marengo and his, talent, professionalism and care brought all of our dreams to life. We are so happy we are now working on our second home with Marengo Morton”
Brewster's Drafting House
Drafting Companies in San Diego 5-Star
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”
Jeanne Liem Architecture + Design
Drafting Companies in San Diego 5-Star
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 25, 2013
“I strongly recommend Jeanne Liem. My company worked with her on designing and building-out residential projects. Jeanne has a terrific aesthetic and is really hard working. She took the time to truly understand what we wanted and made our vision a reality. From beginning until the end, she has been very professional, responsive, proactive, and being able to come up with multiple solutions to simple and complex problems we encountered during construction. Their design elements are so elegant and well matched with our concept that exceeded my expectations in many ways. Also, they did all those within the budget requirements. They were flexible in all the areas we worked. She made everything so easy and smooth. I do not even want to imagine what would happen if we have taken another route instead of working with her.”
BVM Design, Inc.
Drafting Companies in San Diego 5-Star
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 31, 2016
“After finding him on Yelp with good reviews, we had BVM design a 655 sq. ft. residence that incorporated a pre existing building. He was responsive to emails and calls and gave us a surprising number of designs. He was able to give us exactly what we wanted, despite our ideas being communicated rather poorly over the many many interruptions of small children. It was not cheap, but I don't really know what others charge. Also, when our general contractor saw the plans he said "boy, this guy knows how to draw!!" Overall, he was really easy to work with, gave us exactly what we wanted, and impressed other professionals in his field. What more could you want??”
Bill Bocken Architecture & Interior Design
Drafting Companies in San Diego 5-Star
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 31, 2013
“Bill did the design and architecture on an amazing contemporary 3000 sq ft whole house remodel in Mission Hills, San Diego. San Diego Home and Garden Magazine selected this project as their 2010 whole house remodel of the year, and the house was featured on the 2012 San Diego Dwell Home Tour. The project has also been in multiple local and national publications, and is more perfect than we could have ever hoped for. Bill was the genius behind our dream home, thank you Bill!!!”
KH Designs Inc. Custom Residential Design
Drafting Companies in San Diego 5-Star
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 31, 2015
“I recently had the opportunity to work with Kevin on the transformation / renovation a 1985 built home - into a new contemporary dream home. It was a very challenging project! There was multiple new rooflines added, 3 new decks, a new front entrance, a cantilevered floor section, and a complete exterior alteration. The original home is unrecognizable. Kevin came highly recommended, and he's been an integral part of this project. Kevin was able to easily navigate through various ideas, and found very clever ways of adding all these onto the final plans. Impressive is his professionalism and quality workmanship. It's been a pleasure working with him and bringing these ideas into reality. Thanks again Kevin!”
Kristin von Zweck, Architect
Drafting Companies in San Diego 5-Star
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.”
Christian Rice Architects, Inc.

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 27, 2011
“Christian is very talented and passionate about his work. He's everything we could have asked for in an architect and more. Kathy and Ted S. Spreckels house”
