We hired BN Design Build for a total remodel that had major sentimental value -- the kind of…read moreproject where you don't just want a good result... you need the right partner. We started with an ~1,600 sq ft home and Ben helped us completely reimagine it into a 3,600+ sq ft dream home that our family plans to keep for generations. What stood out throughout the process was Ben's rare combo of deep technical capability and a genuinely easy, approachable working style. Ben brought significant in-house strength to the table: full architectural design (including our California room / covered patio), plus engineering coordination around soil/civil and drainage planning. That integrated approach made the process far more seamless -- fewer handoffs, fewer gaps, and fewer "who owns this?" moments. And his pricing was fair and attractive for the level of rigor and service. As the build progressed, Ben stayed close and collaborative -- not just sending plans and disappearing. He worked with us and our contractors, answered questions, and helped keep things moving. He was also extremely responsive; he typically replied within a few hours, which makes a huge difference when you're trying to keep a project on track. Ben handled submissions and permitting with the City of Fullerton and worked through City-requested changes efficiently, saving us countless hours and headaches. He also has a sharp eye for detail -- his plans were thorough, complete, and clear -- and he brought creative solutions to get the design we wanted while respecting the budget. Our taste is traditional / Cape Cod, and he did an outstanding job translating inspiration photos into a finished design that feels classic, intentional, and timeless. We went through more than four rounds of revisions, and Ben was patient and constructive the entire time -- he worked with us until we were genuinely happy. Bottom line: Ben translated our dreams into reality, and did it with professionalism, responsiveness, and real care. We recommend him and are happy to discuss our experience with anyone considering BN Design Build. We're almost done with the build and will post pictures once finished!

I haven't begun construction yet so i wasn't able to provide drywall-less photos and was looking for a quick online opinion. Daniel graciously offered his professional expertise through photos and videos i provided versus immediately trying to schedule me for an in-person consultation. He even stated he'd prefer to see videos/photos before scheduling an in person consultation to see if it was even necessary. I will definitely be seeking his services when time comes for construction. 10/10 initial impression and will definitely hire for services as needed.

After searching around for several quotes, I found Daniel's pricing to be very reasonable. He was responsive, professional, and his sketch work was thorough and detailed.

Daniel made a difficult process much more pleasant, stepping in to provide policy guidance to the city to ensure my non-negotiables were approved. I couldn't have gotten through this without his expertise. I highly recommend him to family and friends, and I would definitely work with him again for any future plans.

This was my first home remodel, and I did not know what to expect or how the process worked. I had heard horror stories of people taking money for plans and never hearing from them again. He was very easy to work with, from explaining the process to what to expect during the permit process. He answered all my questions, and I could see he knew his job. I was on a budget and needed to do some of the work myself. He always returned my calls and walked me through any issues. He showed patience for a first-time DIYer. He provided such good service, I went back to him for my second project, a detached ADU. I recently started and have contacted him multiple times with questions. He has been in business for 33 years as a builder and preparing plans. He brings all that experience to his job. I would recommend him to anyone. His prices are competitive, and he is good at his job.

We hired Ron to do the architectural plans for the remodel of a fourplex. He came in with a fancy camera scanner to measure everything, a very efficient process. He was very much on time with the delivery of the initial draft. We discussed minor changes and submitted to the city, and they had just had a few minor corrections before approval, which is better than other architectural teams I have worked with. After we began work on the project, we discovered a beam in the ceiling was not pointing in the right direction, leading to the need for a revision to the plans. The engineer Margarito went on site and approved changes, which allowed us to quickly adapt. Overall this was a very streamlined process, I would be happy to use his services in the future and can very much recommend him.

The timeline was totally reasonable (honestly, my slow email responses probably added more time than anything on their end), and the plans were approved by the city on the first try, which was a huge relief. It was also hard to find someone willing to take on a smaller project at a fair price, and they were very thorough. Even months later, they've still been responsive with follow-up questions from our contractor. Would definitely recommend, especially for smaller renovations or additions.

There was continuous and steady progress, and I usually was invited over each week to check on the progress of work. The project was well timed. The initial estimate was for around 5 months. It ended up taking 5 months and 3 weeks. The small delay was due to city permitting back-and-forth and weather, which all seemed understandable. The cost estimate was also quite accurate. We only went less-than-10% over, and generally due to things that we decided to upgrade partway through, or issues we discovered only after tearing open the walls. They also had a one year warranty on issues with the work, which they have honored with no hassle. Ultimately the company acts with integrity, and in this industry that's saying a lot.
