My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

“As a general contractor, I’ve worked with many architectural firms over the years, and S-Squared architectural firm stands out as one of the best. Their plans are consistently clear, detailed, and buildable—which makes our job easier and leads to smoother, more efficient construction timelines. What really sets them apart is their willingness to work as true partners throughout the project. They’re responsive to questions, open to input from the field, and always focused on finding practical solutions without compromising design integrity. Their team is professional, organized, and great to work with—whether it’s during pre-construction meetings, value engineering discussions, or onsite coordination. If you’re looking for an architectural firm that designs with both beauty and constructability in mind, S-Squared architectural firm is the one to call.

“When I decided to build my house, I searched on Google for the style I loved, and I was so lucky to come across him. Tim is an amazing architect. I met him only once, and after that, I decided to work with him. Today, my dream home for my family is gradually taking shape. Tim has handled all the architectural design work with great professionalism and a high level of expertise, which has been incredibly helpful for my project. Thank you, Tim! I hope you will gain even more clients in the future.”
EBCON Corporation
Architectural Drawing Companies in Berkeley
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 18, 2021
“We recently completed our second project with EBCON | Hughes; a new house build (our first project was a kitchen remodel 5 years ago). In both of our projects, we appreciated their very detailed and transparent bid process, and the attention they paid to sticking to the budget. For our latest project, we were fortunate to work with them on a pre-construction contract during the architectural design phase so that they could share their expertise and weigh in on cost and time factors throughout. Our new home has several complex mechanical systems, and the team worked with us and with the subs to make sure that everything came together. If you are looking for a contractor in the Bay Area, we strongly encourage you to connect with EBCON | Hughes for a team that communicates well, shares aesthetic ideas, and gets in done.”

Architect or Building Designer FAQs
The duration depends on the projectʼs complexity and scope. A simple home renovation might require several weeks for the architectural drawings to be completed, while new, custom homes or larger renovations could take several months. The initial phase involves understanding your requirements and site analysis, followed by drafting preliminary designs and revising them based on your feedback, before producing the final detailed drawings. Effective communication between the homeowner and the drawing company is crucial to keeping the project on schedule.
Architectural drawing companies stay abreast of the latest design trends and material innovations through ongoing education, industry publications, and participation in professional networks. During the design process, they consider factors such as sustainability, durability, cost, and aesthetic appeal when recommending materials. They work closely with homeowners to understand their preferences and lifestyle needs, ensuring that the chosen materials and design trends reflect the homeownerʼs vision while also adding value and functionality to the space.
Before reaching out, homeowners should define their project goals, budget, and timeline. Gathering inspiration (e.g., photos or links to desired design styles) can help articulate your vision. Additionally, itʼs beneficial to have an understanding of your propertyʼs zoning restrictions and whether there are any homeowners association guidelines to consider. Clear communication of your needs and expectations from the start can greatly facilitate the process.
Experienced companies anticipate potential obstacles, such as planning and zoning restrictions, structural issues, or budget constraints, and proactively address them. They employ problem-solving skills, creativity, and technical expertise to find solutions that meet your needs while complying with regulations. Regular meetings and updates ensure any challenges are discussed and resolved promptly, minimizing disruptions to the project timeline.
Yes, ensuring the company or its key personnel hold certifications such as a licensed architect (RA or RIBA, depending on your country), LEED accreditation for sustainability, or memberships in professional associations like the American Institute of Architects (AIA) can indicate professionalism, expertise, and a commitment to upholding industry standards. Certifications and memberships often require ongoing education, ensuring that the professionals are up-to-date with the latest codes, technologies, and best practices.
Yes, one of the primary reasons homeowners hire these companies is their expertise in preparing the necessary drawings and documents for building permit applications. They understand local codes and regulations, ensuring that the design complies with all requirements.
