When we moved to Oxnard, California two years ago, we did not realize that the parking rules would…read morebe so restrictive. It did not take long for the HOA to make it clear that we had a problem. After a few letters from the HOA delineating the parking rules for both the driveway and the street we searched for a contractor who could remodel the garage to accommodate our 24-foot Sprinter Van. After researching a few companies in the area, we decided on Atlas Builders and Development, Inc. and we were happy to sign a contract with Jacob Lankri, the owner. The first step was to decide on the basic design package. Once that was settled, we submitted the engineered plans to our HOA. After many months of wrangling with the HOA, Gilah Lankri, the project engineer, was able to produce engineered drawings that met the HOA's aesthetics and expectations. Jacob and Gilah submitted the plans to the city of Oxnard. Unfortunately, it took the city of Oxnard a frustrating 10 months to review and approve the plans. All the while, Atlas Builders and Development, Inc. stayed with us determined to get approval. Once we got approval to begin construction in December 2024, the demolition of the old garage was accomplished quite quickly. Even though we hit a snag regarding the Southern California Gas Company line, we eventually got approval to relocate and replace the line which delayed the project 5 weeks. Finally in March 2025 construction of the new Garage began in earnest. Jacob's team, led by an amazing foreman, Edgar, constructed a new elevated ceiling in the garage with new rafters and support beams as well as new tiled roof. The inside of the garage was completely refinished with drywall, texturing and fresh paint. New and improved lighting was installed in the garage along with assorted electrical outlets. The finishing touches included a new door to the backyard, matching the epoxy surfacing on the garage floor and patching preexisting holes in the walls. Outside, new stucco and siding had to be applied as well as painted. The disconnected solar panels and rain gutters were expertly reinstalled. In addition, an area of the driveway had to have pavers reinstalled looking better than before. I addition to the garage remodel project, Atlas Builders and Development, Inc. procured and installed a new sliding glass door complete with a doggy door for access to the back patio. They also removed a set of windows in the dining room and then procured and installed a beautiful set of French doors. Finally, Atlas Builders and Development, Inc. removed an old single front door and expertly installed a beautiful mahogany double front door. All the finishing details were expertly accomplished.

And their friendly work crew also worked very diligently and cleaned up the area very nicely. The repair work turned out pretty good. I can actually feel the increased structural rigidity on my 2nd floor walkway now when I walk on it. So, that's a relief to me. I know the required SB 721 EEE inspection can be a major hassle for many rental property owners, so I would definitely recommend One Structural to any landlord or property manager that is need of this inspection and/or is out of compliance with this safety regulation. Be sure to schedule your SB 721 inspection early as there is Jan 1, 2026 deadline for this.

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!
