Integrity Design Studio, LLC
House Plan Companies in Santa Barbara
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 27, 2013
“I am a mother of three youngs boys and my husband and I work full-time. We purchased our home in Westlake Village approximately 11 years ago. Neither of us had the time or talent to take on the remodel work our home needed. We hired Carol.. What a blessing. We told her we had a classic-cormfortable lifestyle and loved to entertain. We also told her when options were available to limit us to three as we had a difficult time making a decision. She is helping us with the following projects: * Guest Bathroom (cosmetic remodel) * Master Bathroom (reconstruction) * Living Room * Outdoor Living Area Not only did she help with every aspect of the design, drawings and selection of paint, tile, cabinets, hardware she coordinate with all the individual compaies involved in the projects above.”

“We have used Scott for nearly 20 years on many projects. He is always honest, considerate, keeps you informed as to progress and has very specific and detailed billing. Too many projects to mention but we have had multi faceted things happening at once ( major and minor remodels). You won’t be disappointed.”

“I interviewed a number of architects and talked to a couple of references before selecting David Ferrin and Arketype Architects for my rather different project, that of building a two story home on top of an existing stone warehouse, providing three floors plus roof-deck in a tight urban setting. Before I selected him, I was impressed with his "can-do" attitude and examples of some of his thinking outside-the-box. The design work I saw was classy and much of it different. His use of materials tends towards the green but when price becomes an issue, he will demur or come up with an alternative. David is quietly spoken and his demeanor is thoughtful, low-key and confident. The project is still 12 months away from completion (I'm writing this in May 2015 ) so it isn't possible to give you final comment but to this point I have been VERY happy with his work. He is quick to effect changes and is very thorough with his plans, attention to detail (according to several other architects and planners) being well above what is normally produced. I swear this attention to detail is what allowed our plans to get through to permitting in so few hearings.”

“The process of designing and building a home on the west coast while we lived on the east coast would have been a challenge. Tom made it easy and fun. He was available whenever we needed him throughout the design and build process. Best of all, Tom is now one of our good friends.”

“We met Dulcie through an introduction from the property owner for this project. From our first meeting we knew we were working with not only a superb design professional but someone that exhibits great professionalism amongst all the parties involved in any project, mainly the client, the contractor and the other consultants. We recommend her to anyone needing an architect! We look forward to working with her and her firm in the future.”

Architect or Building Designer FAQs
The duration of a project can vary significantly based on complexity, size, and customization level. On average, creating a custom house plan can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. Itʼs essential to discuss timelines with your chosen company early in the process to align expectations.
Material selection and design trends significantly impact the sustainability, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal of your home. A reputable House Plan Company will guide you through selecting materials that align with your design preferences, budget, and the latest trends, ensuring a balance between style and functionality.
Before meeting with a House Plan Company, homeowners should compile a list of needs and wants for their new home, including the number of rooms, general layout preferences, and any specific features or styles they envision. Itʼs also helpful to establish a budget and collect images or plans that inspire you. Having this information ready will streamline the design process and ensure your visions are clearly communicated.
Open communication and setting clear expectations from the start are crucial to overcoming challenges. Select a House Plan Company that has a proven track record of effectively managing issues such as design changes, budget constraints, and navigating permits and regulations.
Examine their portfolio for diversity in design, innovation, and attention to detail. Look for projects similar in style or size to what you envision. Quality portfolios should also reflect the companyʼs ability to incorporate current design trends while adhering to functional requirements.
While some House Plan Companies offer construction management services or have partnerships with builders, others focus solely on the design phase. Itʼs important to discuss your needs and see if they can assist in the construction phase or recommend reputable builders who have experience with their plans
