“We have used to Bob Yabarra on 3 projects that required as built drawings, and a two story house renovation. The products were professional, per our agreement, on time, and for a fare price. He is fare and though we made changes there was never an extra charge to us.”

Flintridge Design Inc.
Architects & Building Designers in Oak Hills.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 January 2014
“I was looking for an architect that would be able to transform my galley kitchen into a kitchen/great room combination without having to bump out any areas of the home. When Kurt presented his plan I was amazed at his ingenuity, creativity and the plans' ease of execution. Moreover, as a newbie home renovator, Kurt assisted in patiently answering my endless questions and helped me with the endless design decisions. In addition, he deftly and professionally handled some "interesting" personalities on the job. He also returned my calls and emails promptly. I am so thankful for his help and plan on using him for my next project, phase #2, the exterior!”

“This was my first kitchen remodel and Ben made the process as easy as possible. Because of contractor issues, I needed more than one re-order, and Ben was incredibly easy to work with. He laid out all the options for me, and guided me in choosing what was best for my space. Also, he's just a really nice guy.”
FC Design & Associates
Architects & Building Designers in Oak Hills.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars9 January 2016
“FC Design & Asscociates has my full endorsement as an outstanding architecture firm. In all instances, Fernando was incredibly responsive when it came to providing detailed drawings, and information to present to the Home Owners Association and city planning department. He is very organized, extremely intelligent and has a keen sense for communicating with his clients, contractors and city employees. In my opinion and experience, Fernando has the depth of knowledge and quality customer service to lead a project from pre-construction planning thru to completion unlike others in the business. I consider FC Design to be one of the very best price-for-performance architecture firms you can find.”
Stratos Form

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 November 2015
“Wow! Stratos Form not only met our expectations but greatly exceeded them! I can not say enough about Carol and the positive role she played in our entire project. She not only was brilliant in the concept and design of our home, but she was always professional and gave us perfect advise through the entire Design Review process with the City of Laguna Beach (always a tough one). Our architectural plans were beyond thorough, our builder said he had never seen such detailed drawings. During the conceptual process Carol listened to our needs and incorporated all of our requests, while maintaining the highest of design standards. I would eagerly refer Carol and Stratos Form to anyone who asked!”

How do I find the best Oak Hills, 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.

While a few have a knack for imagining bolder, more futuristic architectural design in Oak Hills, 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.

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.
