Lev Designs

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 July 2019
“I only have excellent things to say about this company. The architectural plans came out great, and they really know their stuff. Very professional and organized and very satisfied with all the work that has been done! I would definitely recommend them for any architectural or design work. I hope to build our relationship and continue to work with them.”
Casci DesignWorks Inc.
Architects & Building Designers in Carmichael.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 July 2015
““When we first began the process of starting over with our dated, 70s kitchen, we knew it would take more than looking at a handful of home magazines to figure out what would work. Enter Steve – who saw the potential for our medium-sized space, and suggested things we didn’t consider. That’s why you hire a designer; he has the expertise to know how to configure a space based on how it will be used. From the materials to the cabinets, to recommendations for appliances, Steve was able to help us execute the vision we had for the kitchen into two other rooms. Given a choice between ‘making due’ with an inefficient existing layout, and going the extra mile to transform it into the heart of the house, we didn’t hesitate. It was worth the effort!”

Tommasini Design Group

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 September 2013
“I went into this project not really knowing what I wanted. I watched a lot of HGTV and had many conflicting ideas. The Tommasini Design Group was able to listen to my needs and wants and come up with a design that was more than I could have imaginged. I would highly recommend this business.”
Crosby Homes

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 July 2013
“After interviewing 10 other contractors, I meet with Chris Crosby regarding my project. He was honest, professional, more than fair on his prices and told me the good AND the bad. The finish project was done on time and under budget and it turned out beautiful. I would highly recommend his company for any type of construction work.”

“Elma Gardner is a very talented designer and a fun person to work with. We originally contacted her to help us with the kitchen and bathroom cabinetry design and install for our new home. She offers all the design help needed to complete a project. First, she presented a couple of different layouts for us to consider. The designs were fantastic. Then she scheduled appointments for us to meet with her at several different showrooms including: lighting, plumbing, appliance, and tile showrooms. She listened to what we wanted and helped us make good choices. She was available to meet at the job site during construction. Elma runs a great business; she is very organized, efficient and accommodating. She gets things done on time and she is easy to contact by phone, email or in person. The cabinetry company that she works with makes high quality, beautiful cabinets.”

“I hired dJA Architects to design a 400 sqft office over an existing garage space. The were efficient, informative, and after listening to the design perimeters came up with a design that allowed for kitchenette, bathroom, office area, and meeting area. The kept me informed throughout the design and permit process. I would highly recommend.”
Matthew Lechowick Design
Architects & Building Designers in Carmichael.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 February 2016
“Matt has a creative design eye that blends modern ideas and colors. The project he designed turned a dated condo into a modern living space with clean lines in the kitchen and hotel inspired bathrooms. The project turned out better than expected. Little details such as the custom cabinet design make it hard to believe this was the same space as before.”

Architectural firms have extensive knowledge of architectural design and building materials, and a strong appreciation of ergonomics – warmth, light, and flow within a property. As you search through architects and building designers in Carmichael, CA, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best Carmichael, CA architect for my home design or renovation project?


When building or renovating your home, you don't simply hire an architect or building designer — you build a relationship with them. Be sure you chose a home architect who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. Architecture is an incredibly technical profession and one where getting things wrong can literally put lives at risk, so ensure you hire a professional with a valid license or an architectural firm to maintain high quality and standards. Your next consideration will be architectural style. Some residential architects specialise in designing traditional homes or farmhouses, others in designing modern replicas of traditional homes. While a few have a knack for imagining bolder, more futuristic architectural design in Carmichael, CA that incorporates the latest technology.

Once you have frozen on the architect or building designer, chat through your goals, projected budget, scope of work, schedule and any other specific requirements you might have. Ask them to walk you through the process, including the number of architectural design consultations, site visits and what they will be delivering and when, e.g. feasibility study, a technical drawing, tender package and/or planning application drawings. Also, get a sense of whether they are a good listener, collaborator, and problem solver. Finally, be sure to find out what the architect needs from you,deeds, rights of way, deposit, staged payments and so on.

How much does hiring an architect in Carmichael, CA cost?


Home construction and renovation often have a preset budget and hence it is important to understand how much architects charge. While there is no set payment structure, independent architects may charge differently from architectural firms. Architects sometimes choose to calculate their fees on the basis of a per square foot rate. In rare cases, especially with smaller projects, Carmichael, CA architects may choose to ask their clients for a fixed fee. Make sure the total figure and payment schedule is agreed as part of your contract, particularly if you are trying to accurately estimate the cost of building a house.
