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.

Featured Reviews for Architectural Drawing Companies in San Luis Obispo

STUDIO PRIME ARCHITECTURE (SP-ARC)
Architectural Drawing Companies in San Luis Obispo
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 9, 2018
“Currently engaged with Studio Prime in support of a design/build project here in the city of San Luis Obispo. I couldn't ask for a more knowledgeable and professional group to work with, but importantly, they also have a sense of humor (especially John). They are helping my wife and I design (and eventually build) a 3,000 sf custom home on an, um, "interesting" hilly site that is presenting some challenges. However, these guys know their stuff, and are deftly navigating us around those challenges. Strongly recommend these guys!”
Jessica Lehrbaum Architect
Architectural Drawing Companies in San Luis Obispo
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 16, 2017
“We had no idea how wonderful it could be to have an architect's help until we met Jessica. We felt listened to and like she really took the time to hear an understand our project. When we called Jessica (at the suggestion of our realtor) for help in remodeling the kitchen in the house we were purchasing, we had no idea what a gift she would be! Not only is she excellent with all the design details and measurements and everything else an architect is supposed to do, but she was able to help us with materials and think outside the box to accomplish our goals in creative ways. Jessica also helped us tie in the look and feel of our kitchen/dining room to our front outdoor space and thought of other details we wouldn't have even considered. Jessica was professional and easy to work with, she was gracious and even able to understand/communicate well with both my husband and me and help us figure out what we wanted. We are so thankful we found such a great Architect in SLO!!”
Gannage Design
Architectural Drawing Companies in San Luis Obispo
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 17, 2018
“We hired Gannage Design for our Morro Bay house remodel and would hire them again in a second. From the very first meeting you know you are in good hands, they take the them time to listen and to really understand the project. From concept to design to construction, this is by far the BEST team around!”

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.
