We lost our home in Thomas Fire. We immediately thereafter started searching for a local architect to completely rebuild what we had lost. We scoured the Internet and after triple checking and reviewing many websites and reading many reviews we met with Marker Baker at Baker Engineering. We found Mark to be an expert in architectural design and engineering. Mark understood our needs and constantly devoted the time and effort to find the best solutions for building our new house. He is a consummate professional going well beyond the scope that we hired him for. Mark far exceeded our expectations. Mark is a resident of Ventura and highly rooted with the city and local contractors. He is extremely knowledgeable as to exactly what is needed to work with the city for a smooth reconstruction process. Mark brought great experience and expertise to the overall project. He is creative, thoughtful and responsive. We are very pleased with the exceptional plan that was produced. He welcomed all input from us throughout the process, as well as input from our contractor. The expert, detailed, meticulous drawings and specifications contributed greatly to us being the third Thomas Fire victim to receive our building permits. We have everlasting gratitude for Mark. Only 6 months after the complete loss of our home, construction is in full swing. On top of all of that, we fully and highly recommend Mark Baker to anyone looking for someone to help them put together a great design for a home. read more
