Working with Greyson was awesome. After having some sub-par work done on our house prior to moving…read morein, my wife and I consulted Greyson to take a look at the damage and see if there was any structural issues that needed to be addressed. He was very responsive and was able to come to our home the same day. His walkthrough, insight and expertise was above and beyond. He answered all our questions very thoroughly and even brought up how to improve some other potential issues and offered solutions. My wife and I felt very comfortable working with him. I highly recommend working with Greyson.

Greyson provided structural & architectural drawings and application to Glendale City for a small…read moreinterior renovation project for a unit in a 1940 triplex. Glendale Community Development / Build & Safety completely dropped the ball in monitoring/ completing the permit but Greyson stayed engaged even though it took 8 months to secure the correct permit, finally appropriately emailing the Glendale Mayor to help with delays. Frustrating to all of us but the engineering & renovation passed muster easily once things were in gear! Appreciate his patience and commitment to getting things done!!

Just walked a Bruce Labin designed home and must give my praise to him and his staff. Ventura has…read moresome great Architects, but Bruce has always distinguished himself by understanding field problems from a builders perspective. We first met in the early 80's. He was pushing a wheelbarrow on East Grand in Ojai. I was the building inspector. He asked why a HD7, 1 1/8" bolt for shear walls, would be installed in a masonry stem wall. My question was "why would someone pushing a wheelbarrow accurately point out a problem the architect/engineer of record missed? He the mentioned he graduated from Cal Poly, San Louis Obispo. Respect is earned!

I don't think I've ever done a review on yelp but was so grossed out by this architect's mode of…read moreoperation that I had to say something. I work in construction so I get it - that it's loud, and it gets dirty - but I'm living next door to a home this architect is remodeling and his and his contractors ethics are terrible. The contractors leave messes all over my property and don't clean them up for days and days, they leave their lunch mess on my property and watch pornos on their breaks under my window... so gross! My nieces had to hear it!! And why are they on my property eating their lunch?? they violate the noise ordinance regularly and start at 6:30 and worst of all he and the owner are encouraging his contractors to break the law and not being courteous to residents around his construction sites. His client told me because I'm a renter, I don't have any rights and they can start whenever they want... wtf???? Very unprofessional architect and construction crew. Bottom shelf operation all around. Oh and I almost forgot when I came outside this morning at 6:40 to say not to start before 7am, the contractor told me to "shut the fuck up" and to "fuck off"... real classy group of people.. And as for this firm's claim regarding site observation, when I called, the firm tried to blame everything on the contractors and that they hadn't been to this site... wth?? Every good architect knows that their contractors are a reflection of their values and ethics.

They are such a breeze to work with. We would not recommend anyone better !
