Architectural Drawing Companies in La Jolla

“I went through two other architects before I found Jeanne. One was from very well-regarded architectural firm that would take care of the entire process including construction management, with a large team of junior architects. Their quote for the build was high, and of course their fee was based on the construction cost. The second one had a wonderful social media presence, but seemed to push me towards the ubiquitous white 2-storey modern farmhouse built by a "custom homebuilder". I struggled with the choices.. we had bought this property because we liked the way it was, but it needed some TLC, and we needed to add an ADU. Jeanne came as a breath of fresh air. She has that rare quality of really listening to what her clients really want, but that is just the icing on top of her being proficient at her job. Her fee schedule is transparent and very reasonable, so we were very comfortable starting our project with her, knowing we could always add further services or keep it to a minimum depending on our budget. I can't say more how much we have enjoyed working with her. Jeanne has been a great collaborator with us and our interior designer, she was supportive and offered her ideas when we were lost, but was always gracious in letting us have our preferences when we had good reasons for what we wanted. Oh, and absolutely do not skip having Jeanne help with the the selection process for General Contractors: anytime they had structural or technical questions, I would have no idea, and Jeanne would take the lead. It saved us all a lot of time, and helped the contractors submit more accurate bids. Our permits just came in (bang on schedule) and construction will start soon. We will see less of Jeanne now, although we will have her back to the jobsite from time to time to make sure things are on track. Is it strange to say we will miss our architect? I hope not! Thank you for everything Jeanne! :)”

“I am a licensed ASID interior designer and a residential remodeling contractor and have had the good fortune and pleasure of working with Rick Kaufman, architect on several major collaborative projects over the past few years involving both residential remodeling as well as new builds in and around the Houston area and for a sprawling Texas ranch home outside Dallas. Each project was challenging and complex and required extensive architectural expertise. In each instance, Rick Kaufman was selected over other architects based on his comprehensive architectural knowledge and insight, incisive creative problem solving abilities, remarkable work ethic and his reputation for meeting and exceeding client expectations. His clients appreciate his friendly, easily approachable personality and his willingness to genuinely listen to them. Rick Kaufman is a visionary architect who is truly outstanding in his field based on his extraordinary talent and technical and artistic skills. He is keenly intuitive and possesses that rare ability to listen deeply and profoundly and respond sensitively to his clients’ needs and desires, never pushing or imposing his own ideas but thoughtfully incorporating them into creative architectural solutions that are unique, desirable and remarkable. His clients learn early on in the design process that they can rely completely on his insight, wisdom and guidance and know that they can trust his vast experience and expertise to produce amazing results. Rick possesses that rare ability to quickly assess and comprehend what a client wants and needs often before they can communicate it themselves. This skill is what makes him such an extraordinary architect and a genuine pleasure to work with. He is everything a client could want or need in an architect. I highly recommend Rick Kaufman of The Kaufman Collaborative to anyone looking for a qualified, professional architect for their home renovation or new construction project.

“We designed and built a new home from the ground up. Tyler took our architectural drawings and made them into construction documents. He then became the lead person to insure that we got all of our documents submitted to the City and ensured that we ultimately got our building permit. From here he was with us for the entire building process, which took over a year. Tyler was always available when I needed him and during the build we met countless times to discuss, plan or re-design something. His eye for design improved our homes final outcome. He was a real advocate for our project and he seemed to truly want the best for us. Building a home is a major under taking, but we were glad we had Tyler working with us. We now have a beautiful home and we couldn't have made it happen without the hard work from Tyler Buffett. Bill and Liz L.”
