Testimonials
"I hired Seyed to write both the architectural plans and structural engineering plans for a small addition to my home in NorCal. There was a lot of iteration required, largely because I missed some aspects of the existing structure, and Seyed was very efficient in revising the plans at each step. The quality of the plans was excellent as well and Seyed was accommodating with my many requests for changes. I would absolutely hire him again for any similar work."

"This gentleman was top class, an absolute pleasure to have worked with over the years. Always on time, always responsive and professional. Even during the time of COVID, this gentleman didn't miss a beat. Sure, there were other clients, but I could have never known based on the steadfast service and dedication. Top marks and my eternal gratitude for the reassuring experience of knowing people such him still exist. It has been a profound honor and pleasure."
