Architecture

For a homeowner, hiring an architect may sound expensive and over-the-top, but these design pros are critical to bringing your vision to life. Our architecture team comes with extensive knowledge of building systems, materials, safety codes, landscape requirements, local city regulations and more.

We’re committed to partnering with you to create the home you’ve always wanted.

Architects do this:

Create design drawings
Understand state/local building codes
Troubleshoot design changes

Your dream starts here.

At Design Everest, we’re masters at matchmaking a local, seasoned architect to your personal project. Our lineup of passionate experts can team up with you to transform your idea into a stunning reality. Let’s do this!

Architectural Plans & Permit Sets

From new custom home plans to remodels, additions and ADUs, most major (and even simple) home improvement projects require architectural plans in order to obtain necessary permits.

Design Everest architects are specialists at creating sound design drawings. And our team is meticulously detailed about state and local safety codes and building regulations so you can get the permits you need fast.

Existing Conditions Drawings & 3D Modeling

Before starting a home remodel, existing conditions drawings look at the current size and placement of rooms, doors, windows, cabinetry, walls, plumbing and lighting. Think of it as a starting point for a smooth renovation, unveiling anything that could impact construction.

Let our team help you visualize everything your home is and more importantly, what it can be.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"I have used Design Everest for several houses and the experience has been great each time. They have a team of designer, architects, structural engineers, and project managers to make sure things are constantly being completed and moving forward. Their guidance and experience helped navigate through issues before they arose, bringing our dream into reality. I will recommend Design Everest to anyone looking to complete the plans of their dreams quickly with a team of experts at a reasonable price."

"It's probably one of the few firms you can fully trust in the Bay Area. I got referred by a friend to Design Everest for a kitchen and bathroom remodel of my condo. They sent an architect to map out the current conditions of our house. The architect was very patient as we took our time to go through the plans, and he also suggested which complemented the way we wanted to remodel our home. They completed the plans within two weeks, and overall it was a very satisfying process. We are very happy to go with Design Everest. We will surely go with them if we need any engineering work in the future!"

"Design Everest provided timely and accurate Mechanical and Plumbing drawings which were approved by the local jurisdiction the first time they were submitted. This was a short-notice commercial permit which made timing even more crucial, and they came through big time for us."

"When I found Design Everest on the web, I sent a short email and had a response immediately. They took the time to explain the process of designing and structural engineering. This was my first project and had a ton of questions and got all of my questions answered. I will use them on future projects!"

"We worked with a designer, a PM, a structural engineer, and a Title 24 expert from Design Everest to design an ADU. Their close coordination allowed us to remotely design a custom ADU during the coronavirus epidemic. They were patient and allowed the design to iterate many times"

"I ordered an engineering report for a real estate transaction for the foundation portion of inspections. Great company, easy scheduling, great report that was complete and concise. The engineer reported on the foundation as well as the structure itself. Highly recommend."
