Featured Reviews for Architects & Building Designers in West Menlo Park.

Stoecker and Northway Architects, Inc.
Architects & Building Designers in West Menlo Park.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars2 June 2014
“We engaged Stoecker and Northway for work on a whole home remodel. The project included moving several walls, and completely gutting and rebuilding 2 bathrooms, the kitchen, and 3 closets. Jim Stoecker provided valuable insights on the project requirements, timelines, and a general sense of the expenses to expect. He also helped us identify ways to create more space within the existing footprint of the house, allowing us to create a small laundry room in the house (previously in the detached garage). We were thrilled with all aspects of working with Jim, and would strongly recommend him to anyone with large construction projects.”

Bekom Design
Architects & Building Designers in West Menlo Park.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 January 2016
“I would like to highly recommend Bekom Design to anyone looking for a professional, creative design, that turned an old and dark room to beautiful hi tech space. We worked with a very small budget but still Revital Meron was able to find the materials, and create the atmosphere we thought was unreachable and not achievable with our budget. The responsiveness of the team was excellent. Revital was able to understand the design we were looking to create and kept the costs much lower than we expected. We wanted a work space for start ups, and at the same time wanted to keep the large amount of books available for readers in our community. And it happened, we now have an amazing workspace that is open to our community of hi tech professionals, as well as families that come to take books from the library. Thank you so much. We love it! Ronit”
KYLE CHAN ARCHITECT
Architects & Building Designers in West Menlo Park.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 January 2015
“Before I begin my remodel plan, I was debating whether or not I should hire a professional architect, and I am glad I did. Kyle is extremely knowledgable and resourceful, he organize and oversee the whole project, as well as fill in every little detail that I probably will neglect. Not only he design a cost effective layout for us, tackle all the structural issues, he also help me deal with all the permit and legal hassle so that I can concentrate on shopping for my new sofa and coffee machine. Working with Kyle is such a pleasant experience, he is responsive, honest, and detail oriented. Having Kyle as my professional architect is the best decision I made throughout the entire project!!”
Rolm Design Studio
Architects & Building Designers in West Menlo Park.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 May 2017
“Mehran is extremely knowledgeable from a design, cost, and feasibility perspective. I worked with Mehran on a complete teardown/rebuild of an existing single family home to a 90% new home. The main factors I needed addressed were cost concerns while keeping the best design and functionality for resale. Mehran gave insightful opinion and pointed out issues I had not and was not able to spot due to my relative unfamiliarity. His years of experience allows him insight on issues from both a building and cost perspective that would otherwise go unnoticed. Highly recommended.”
Studio S Squared Architecture, Inc.

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 October 2012
“Eugene Sakai stood out far above the pack of the 5 Architectural firms that we investigated to do our total house construction. He was simply the best to deal with, very professional, on time, and took a personal interest in the project, and within budget. We moved in 2 years ago and still love him and the contractor, C.W. Wright in San Carlos. We are pleased to show the house through Eugene Sakai at any time.”

“Steve Borlik of Young and Borlik Architects understands families and lifestyles. While you'll find many styles of design in the portfolio, there is one central theme, the best interests and desires of the client. We're also big fans of Cal Poly grads, as their credo is to learn by doing which ensures a buildable plan.”

It is often said when you're building a house, you’re building a dream. An architect or master of building design can make your dream house a reality. Architects can help you design and redesign spaces of your home or focus on helping you build your own house from the ground up. 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 West Menlo Park, CA, keep in mind the following tips to help you choose the perfect one:

How do I find the best West Menlo Park, 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 West Menlo Park, 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 West Menlo Park, 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, West Menlo Park, 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.
