Syndicate Architects
Architects & Building Designers in Placer County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 August 2017
“Syndicate Architects are a pleasure to work with. I've been working with Sam for years. He is professional, knowledgeable and easy to get along with. Best of all, during construction there are few to no change orders due to the detailed design process they have!”

“We did two projects with Malika and love the results. She planned two remodel/ additions for us plus helped with some interior design choices. Our house is modern but she also did my brothers house which is ranch style.”
Siteline Architecture
Architects & Building Designers in Placer County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars14 July 2015
“We have been working with Siteline since 2010 on the design and construction of our new garage/shop and major remodel of our home. The team at Siteline is very responsive and have done a great job on coordinating with the planning and building depts as well as with the engineers and other specialists as needed. Their contacts in the area have been invaluable to us by ensuring that the various vendors and subs are reputable and provide good value for their services. We initially compared 3 architects/designers when we chose Siteline and we are very pleased with our choice and highly recommend Siteline to anyone considering or looking for an architectural/design/project management firm. Andrew, Richard and Jeff, congrats on your first 10 years.”
ODS Architecture
Architects & Building Designers in Placer County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 August 2012
“The staff at Ohashi Design Studio helped me design my kitchen/living space. I wanted to open up our galley kitchen to be able to see our incredible view from the kitchen. They came up with a design I never imagined could work so well. Rather than just remove a wall, they moved the kitchen, changed it to a more functional shape and not only opened up the view, but made the living space feel like we were outside. I have been especially impressed with their level of service. They listened to my dreams and goals and turned it into a reality beyond what I'd hoped for. They were available anytime I needed guidance during construction and made sure the project was built down to the finest details. They helped me find a contractor and oversaw the bidding process. They helped pick out all the materials and finishes, even the paint color. I can't say enough about their level of expertise and professionalism. I worked with Dave and Alan.”
Lot C Architecture
Architects & Building Designers in Placer County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 May 2014
“I have worked with Jason of Lot C Architecture many times and often refer new clients to him because he consistently designs a beautiful and functional home. His vision for designing with a contemporary twist on Tahoe luxury homes is amazing to watch and his clients are always impressed. Jason has a talent for listening to what the homeowner wants and getting that into the home design. As a builder of many of Jason's designs, I highly recommend him.”
Useldinger Architects

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 May 2014
“This was a residential renovation of and addition to an older house with good bones that had not been well maintained and had been subjected to several DIY projects that appeared to be beyond the capabilities of those who did them. Kurt's design solutions both suited our taste and were consistent with the original style and design of the house. In particular, he suggested a limited number of minor touches (pass throughs, moving a dividing wall) that quite cost effectively opened up the house and made it much more livable, but also was true to its original design and incorporated its positive features. His design of the new and expand master suite used existing elements to create a vastly improved layout. Kurt offered solutions that enabled us to obtain quick permitting. He supervised construction which was significantly closer to budget and on schedule than other neighborhood projects. He was very responsive when field conditions required adaptations to original plans, and devised solutions that kept costs increases of the project reasonable. He was a pleasure to work with and made what is often a very stressful process a very positive experience.”

“Fabulous to work with. Practical and experienced, hard to beat the value and creativity. Loves what she does.”
Usher Building & Design Inc.
Architects & Building Designers in Placer County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars4 December 2017
“Usher Building and Design did a wonderful job on my bathroom. I cannot recommend Joel Usher highly enough, and I would definitely use him again in the future. He was very helpful with design decisions and keeping costs under control. He finished on time, under budget, and cleaned up after himself. He has an excellent work ethic and is reasonably priced.”
Gold Hill Drafting and Design
Architects & Building Designers in Placer County.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 July 2019
“I am a residential home builder and have been working with these guys for years. I have worked with other but they blow the competition away. Alex & Jack are knowledgeable, professional, ethical and work diligently to ensure your project is delivered as promised. They are experienced and understand how a building comes together, and can anticipate flaws at the design stage, saving you headaches in the field. They are also knowledgeable with code items and understand engineering requirements. They both have an incredible ability to turn your visions into reality and between the two of them there isn't something they haven't seen. So if you have lot that looks like a difficult design or would love to have a home designed with the prefect layout catering to all of your family's needs, meet with these guys. You'll see the difference.”
HMA Architecture Inc.
Architects & Building Designers in Placer County.

“Thanks to Justin. After our house burned down in the wild fires, Justin helped us move along ( as we still only had a vague idea of what we wanted but we knew we wanted to move back quick) and designed a house that fits our property and fits our living style with extra suites for when our sun & daughter visit. Can’t wait to have it finished so we can move in!”

An architect or building designer in Placer County, CA can transform your needs and desires into a visual concept and habitable structure. They will help you determine what is possible in terms of your land and the budget you have, and then work with you to plan a home design that best caters to your lifestyle.

Architects and building designers have an extensive knowledge of architectural designs and trends, as well as construction methods and building materials, and are well versed in seeing the ‘bigger picture’. Depending on the architecture firm you hire, their scope of work can span project management and sustainable design for your renovation, to the selection of furniture and finishes. So whether you’re building from scratch, adding an extension or renovating your Placer County, CA home, engage an architect or building designer to make your dream home a reality.

How do I find the best architect for my home design project?


It is best to hire a home architect or building designer who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. The architect is often the first person you will hire for your project. If necessary, they might also help you select and hire Placer County, CA general contractors, which can include builders, engineers and landscape architects. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the residential architect you hire. He or she can be the tie-breaking vote between you and the general contractor and can be your biggest advocate during the construction process.

As far as the process goes, the architecture firm that you choose will start with concept drawings and finish with construction drawings and documents. Some firms even design with 3D renderings and videos, but that should not be assumed. One of the most important duties of an architect is project management – that is, to serve as managers and supervise most aspects of construction, as well as facilitate communication between all other contractors.

It is very important to hire the right professional for the job. Remember that the most well-known or established architect or building designer might not provide the best architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project. Research and ask people whose work you like for recommendations. It's important to have an idea of the style of architecture you prefer, as well as the amount you would like to spend. Architects are natural problem solvers. They will assess the entire situation and help you to solve your problems too. Don't settle for a single company too early. Call and interview a few. Make sure that you feel like your personalities will mesh well and that you like their professional perspective.

Questions to ask prospective architects and building designers in Placer County, CA:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?
  • Do you have professional liability insurance?
  • What types of renderings (3D, video, illustrative) will you produce?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When do you expect to start and be finished with the project?
  • What do your services include? (It's best that the services are until construction is completed.)
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Would you say your work has a defining style? (This is important in case the architect's personal style will interfere with
  • your vision.)
  • Will you help with hiring general contractors and renovation contractors?
  • What do you estimate the cost will be?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any complications you foresee with this project?
