We had a Awesome experience working with Ponce Design Building Permits on our ADU project. From the very first interaction, he was extremely responsive and professional. He offered smart suggestions that made our project more cost-effective while also adding long-term value to our home. Ponce Design delivered and took the time to walk us through everything in person. The county of Riverside permit requirements are very strict, and it was clear that Sean knew what the county would require. When the county had requests we didn't agree with, he communicated directly with the county planner on our behalf and guided us through the process with confidence and clarity. You get what you pay for with Ponce Design--his work is high quality, detailed, and thoughtful. His expertise, responsiveness, and professionalism made a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We highly recommend him for any home or ADU project. He is absolutely worth it. Thank you, Mr. Ponce, GT read more

We had a project with Ponce Design to help us give our upstairs a bit of an upgrade. We had our kids bathroom floors, faucets, and tile redone- as well as our laundry room tile, basically all the flooring upstairs and our bathroom faucets upgraded. David and Dawn were willing to look for the designs and 'feel' that we were going for and got us what we wanted within our price range. I would recommend them! read more

Ponce Design Building Permits - Hound dog loves these guys... - Architects Near Me

If you're looking for a really good and professional architect, Ponce Design Building Permits is it. I've just started construction on a 1,000-square-foot addition and a 450-square-foot garage that Ponce Design helped design. The first time I reached out, they responded quickly. I had an idea of what I wanted, and with Ponce Design's help and knowledge of building codes, we created an addition that is going to be awesome. Every step of the way, Ponce Design was helpful, patient, and very responsive. I felt bad at times because I wasn't responding as quickly as I should have. As usual, when working with the city, there are always a few bumps, but Ponce Design handled everything quickly. Even now, they still help my contractor with questions without any issues. Ponce Design is a great design firm, and I highly recommend them. read more
