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 has been a huge shake up there with one of the main partners leaving under very atrocious and shocking circumstances with the other partners We got stuck in the middle because not knowing this individual no longer worked there, we emailed him at his EZ Plans email address. That's when the yelling and threats began from Mark at EZ Plans. After being yelled at and screamed at, we decided the client relationship had been irreparably damaged and that we could no longer work together. We reviewed the contract and deliverables and determined that only 2 of the 5 had been delivered. That means 60% was not delivered. In an effort to part amicably, we asked only for a 50% refund of the money as we will need to spend it with another firm but were told the money was non-refundable. Next they formally terminated the relationship (which we had already done) but kept my 80 year old mother's money. My 80 year old mother has now filed a small claims suit asking for a full refund along with punitive damages.

In 2021 we opted for a home with ADU potential, allowing us to not only invest wisely, but also significantly reduce our mortgage costs by renting out our converted garage ADU. Fast forward two years, our ADU has been a blessing! It provides affordable housing to a family member and the residual is currently covering almost half our mortgage! This journey into ADU development has been rewarding, teaching us the value of strategic investment and the joy of supporting family. We're excited for our next venture, a duplex transformation! This ADU project has given us the confidence to tackle more investment projects. A win win! I highly recommend this company and their expertise in the industry!

Ken helped guide us through setting up a master plan, understanding what both our short-term and long-term goals were. From there, he was able to design a plan that sequenced things perfectly, so could take advantage of all open walls/construction. Ken also presented us a number of options for the new space, which was very productive, and ultimately we selected a plan that was an evolution of the idea my wife & I had. Ken is a collaborative architect who has a great eye for homes. The construction process was the easiest I've ever seen. Despite having to demolish an entire exterior wall, there was virtually no dust outside of the construction area. The team built a full ceiling-to-floor plastic guard to keep our kitchen and living room livable. All of the workers were exceeding polite, and left no sharp objects around (due to the fact that we have little kids). We finished on-time and on budget. Not only did we have a great experience with TKR, we also recommended TKR to other friends who have now had similar experiences. Highly recommend them - the quality was excellent.

My babies are growing rapidly, and with plans to expand my family next year, it was simply time to increase living space. Mid-Cities Engineering came as word-of-mouth recommendation. I was a little hesitant to be working with a company that was not local to The Valley, but I saw the beautiful work that was completed for my friend and knew I could trust Ivan to help me create my dream home. I wish there was a proper adjective to describe Ivan. He truly is creme de la creme- always so kind, answering a multitude of questions without ever losing his patience, even when he has to repeat himself. The level of detail and care is absolutely unparalleled. Ivan doesn't pass you off once you've decided to work with MCE- he's personally committed to your project as if it were his own home. I cannot wait to see the final outcome. I have no doubt that it will be a beautiful home for my babies to grow up in, and a beloved place for my family to create many precious memories in the years to come. Thank you so much in advance, Ivan!

As this is my first project, I had no idea what to expect and pretty much am surviving the process by the 'ignorance is bliss' motto because I blindly trusted him. My gut instinct was not wrong. The lengths that Ivan went through to ensure that my 1,200 square foot project went as smoothly as possible is unsurpassed. He was available for every text, phone call, and email after hours and on the weekends (my project is in Sherman Oaks). Not once did Ivan lose his patience with me (I know I was plenty neurotic). He was on the phone for countless hours with the City of Los Angeles, making sure that my project was progressing (it's always a nightmare dealing with the city, but exacerbated with this pandemic). Ivan presented options for different crews and negotiated fantastic prices for my project. We've hit a few bumps along the way, but I could always rest assured that Ivan would resolve my issues. I'm ecstatic to be nearing the finish line (I'm certain Ivan is too, but for different reasons, haha). Thank you so much, Ivan! I appreciate you more than you will ever know.
