Al impressed me on-site with their 3D digital capturing and BIM modeling workflow, which ensured extremely precise measurements for our plans. Daniel, our project manager, was incredibly responsive and guided us through the entire city permitting process step by step. Thanks to their team, our plans are approved and construction is underway. If you need a reliable and transparent architectural firm that also offers interior design and construction, I highly recommend DRAMS!

We had an incredible experience working with Michael and Baldo at Bela Development. As first-time…read morerenovators, we were understandably nervous, but they guided us through every detail with patience, expertise, and care. They completed a full gut renovation of our primary bathroom and a renovation of our guest bath, and the results exceeded our expectations. The tile work is absolutely gorgeous, the attention to detail is next level, and the job site was kept impeccably clean--which was especially important since my partner and I were living in the house with our dogs throughout the project. That level of thoughtfulness made a huge difference. Baldo was amazing at problem-solving and offering smart ideas and workarounds, especially given the surprises that come with an older home (ours was built in 1977). Michael was equally outstanding--always diligent, responsive, and proactive in addressing any questions or concerns I had along the way. We were so happy with their work that we've already had them back to update our kitchen with new backsplash and tile work, as well as an outdoor bar. I can't recommend Bela Development highly enough. Skilled, trustworthy, and a true pleasure to work with from start to finish.

From the start, Tom and his team were easy to communicate with, responsive, and clear about the process. The project was finished two weeks earlier than expected, which was a great plus for us to be able to move in back sooner. When unexpected and unforeseen issues came up, Tom handled everything very professionally. He took the time to explain what was going on, walked us through our options, and helped us choose solutions that made sense - all without surprise costs and while staying within our budget. The quality of the work was solid, the crew was respectful and clean, and we always felt informed and comfortable throughout the project. We're very happy with the results and would definitely recommend Bela Development to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable contractor.

We hired Jamie to remodel our master bedroom bathroom as per a recommendation from our contractor…read more At first I thought we didn't really need the help of an architect design wise, as I could probably figure out what we needed to do. WOW was I wrong! He started by sketching a few different designs, which we discussed the pros and cons of, followed by some more detailed renderings. What Jamie came up with was far superior to anything I could have imagined and looked almost impossibly big on paper. We don't have THAT much space, do we? After the demolition the framing began and he was there to measure and make sure the builder was following the plan. At every major step of the process he was there to supervise and inspect. He actually caught a few things that weren't just right and made them fix them. Were very happy and would recommend him to anybody!

Jamie came highly recommended and he could not have been more amazing to work with. We had an IDEA of what I wanted to do...but Jamie's team came back with ideas that were so much better and still worked within our budget. The plan was functional, chic, and he checked every single box in a really smart way. We ultimately raised our ceilings, opened up our floor plan, Created an laundry room and a walk in master closet. A few issues came up along the way and Jamie and his in house engineer (Oliver) were always available for counsel and really good solutions. I really cannot say enough good things about the team. All of my next projects will be with Jamie.

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.

I can't recommend Ben enough for any architectural needs, especially if you're navigating the…read morecomplex permit process in Malibu. From the very beginning, Ben has been incredibly professional, attentive, and proactive. What truly sets him apart, however, is his genuine heart and empathy for his clients. My mother's business had to be put on hold during this process, which was an unexpected and stressful time for our family. Ben didn't just treat us like another project; he truly understood our situation. He worked tirelessly to resubmit plans and handle corrections as fast as possible because he genuinely wanted my mom to be able to get back to work and reopen her shop. It's rare to find someone who takes your personal success so personally. Beyond his expertise, Ben's pricing is very reasonable and fair, he is not overpriced at all, which is hard to find in this area. He was also incredibly helpful and understanding by allowing us to pay in installments while the business was closed. This financial flexibility was a lifesaver for us and showed his true character as someone who wants to help, not just make a profit. If you want an architect who is highly skilled, honest, and truly cares about your family and business, Ben is the one to call. We are so grateful for everything he's done. Thank you Ben!

We had an excellent experience working with Ramy Ibrahim of Artoo Design S2dio on the design of our…read moreADU. From the outset, Ramy took the time to truly understand our site and our motivations for the project - specifically, creating a space to care for a parent. He carefully considered the site's constraints and opportunities, along with the real-world conditions that affect construction, and never relied on a generic, cookie-cutter approach. Ramy exceeded every timeline he set. He delivered both the initial concepts and final plans faster than promised, without sacrificing quality or completeness. He's also extremely responsive and quick to answer questions, which kept the process moving and eliminated unnecessary stress. What really distinguishes Ramy is his deep understanding of the building process and its practical realities. He designs with construction in mind, thinking in standard material sizes, anticipating how contractors will build the project, and avoiding unnecessary complications. He knows how to take a project from concept through construction, not just how to produce drawings. Just as important, Ramy's experience with the City of Riverside's permitting process helped streamline approvals and avoid delays. His familiarity with local requirements and review cycles made a complex process feel far more manageable. Ramy was also generous with his time beyond the design work, offering guidance on contractors and next steps. As this was our first building project, his calm, steady presence made a real difference and gave us confidence that we were in good hands and not navigating the process alone. Beyond his technical skill, Ramy is simply a pleasure to work with - thoughtful, respectful, and genuinely invested in his clients' success.
