While going about scheduling our consultation, their communication was quick and efficient. Tom came prepared and was incredibly detailed and thoughtful in his evaluation of our space. I had no idea what would be feasible or make sense in terms of converting a home addition from a previous owner into a master suite. And Tom provided live sketches of the space for me to conceptualize, which was so helpful. Tom was transparent and responsive to questions. Really grateful for his expertise. No surprise that Pure Energy Construction has garnered so many 5 star reviews.

Initially, I quoted a few companies for my kitchen; however, given its size and of course inflation, it was going to be an expensive project. I found Concierge and decided to call them. The front desk was super friendly and knowledgeable, and it was easy to schedule a consultation for the following week. Project manager Matt came to my house was very professional and understood what I wanted to do with my kitchen. After everything was said, I decided to go with them because of the great pricing they offered me. From the beginning to the end of my project, Matt kept me updated on everything and was very transparent about the deadline and the budget. It was such a pleasure working with him. Also, I can't forget about the different teams that came in to demo and install everything. They were very professional and respectful of my home. Thank you guys! During the kitchen project, I decided to additionally have my downstairs bathroom redone, my laundry room flooring changed, and all new windows installed in my house. I thought all these additions would extend my project deadline, but it did not. This was all completed at the same time as my kitchen, and I couldn't be any happier. Now that I've made this review super long lol. I just wanted to say that I am incredibly amazed and happy with how my kitchen looks now; it doesn't even look like the same kitchen anymore. Even though I made other changes, I'm incredibly happy with those too, but more so with my kitchen, lol. Thank you for everything Concierge! If you're looking for great and affordable pricing for your next renovation project, look no further. Call Concierge and ask for Matthew Aharoni. You won't be disappointed.

Astra and Lawrence guided me through the ups and downs of homebuilding and dealing with the city, contractors, engineers and the politics behind it all. They were AMAZING and couldn't hold them in higher regard. If you speak with them, ask them about my project and you will understand how amazing they were. Don't forget to ask the bit about suing the City with our local council members and gaining a favorable decision in arbitration!! Yeah!! Don't bother looking anywhere else, you found your architect's!!

Lawrence and his staff designed a home and a detached garage w/living quarters for me and my…read morefamily. The project was rather large as it was almost 6,000 sq ft. I came to Lawrence's company with plans from a prior architect that were a total mess. The plans from the prior so called "Architect" were ripped to shreds by LADBS, because they were "substandard. These plans as designed made the project extremely costly. Lawrence and his staff, Jewell in particular, quickly got the plans up to par and the cost of the projected plummeted. The plans also passed LADBS with relatively few hitches. When picking an Architect the most important factor is to get a cost effective structural design that complies with all building codes and yet meets all of your design needs. Lawrence met and exceeded all of these factors for my project. As far as the overall project design, he maintained the style of the neighborhood and my taste. The area that the project is in is a Residential/Agricultural Zone in Woodland Hills that was once farm land. While people in this area try to put a Mediterranean Villa style design or as one of my neighbors adjacent to me has a 70's stucco/90's space age/Chinese zen style home, with this in mind Lawrence and I set out to retain the "farm" style of the area and stay away from these other trends. For the additional living quarters and garage, we ended up designing a barn with wood siding and a highly efficient and beautiful metal roof that gets compliments from neighbors and passerby's. The height and style in fact matched another neighbors barn adjacent to me. Basically the barn fits right in and is far from an eye sore. I hope my neighbors follow suit with this design. The main home at the front of the property is also a farm style single story home that he designed to retain all of the original charm that the original farm home has. He designed it to be a single story farm style that again matches our neighborhood. This design utilized a lot of the key features and spaces that I loved about the existing home and simply made it better. It also is going to save me a lot of money as we are retaining these spaces. Lawrence and Jewell did a great job!

A few hiccups along the way with the final permit but Sam acknowledged the mistake on his end and said he would sign off the edits in the revision phase of construction. I will give an updated review once that time comes. Quality: quality of work was good. Efficient in communication and dealing with a difficult city in a permitting process. Took about 6 months for the permits and the city kicked back for corrections 2x which is pretty standard.

So not a "take your money" and we are done type of guy Overall impression: would use him in the future for any architectural or structural engineering jobs
