1. ALTUS Draft & Design
Based in Oakland, CA, ALTUS Draft & Design works as an architect. The business has been operating for 8 years with a team of 5. Residential architects turn a homeowner's goals into drawings that builders can price and permit offices can process. Work typically moves from existing conditions and early sketches to schematic design, then detailed construction documents covering layout, elevations, structure coordination, and key materials. On their profile, ALTUS Draft & Design lists project type description: new construction, addition to existing structure, remodel of a few rooms and complete remodel; professional services needed: project consultation, design drawings, construction documents (blueprints), construction administration and contractor selection assistance; property type: residential and commercial. Homeowners usually hire an architect for additions, major layout changes, new homes, or projects where the local permit office asks for detailed drawings. Include inspiration images, a list of must-have rooms or features, and any known limits such as easements or HOA rules. Some architects bill hourly for small projects and a fixed fee for larger ones, so ask how extra revisions and site visits are billed. Besides Oakland, homeowners in Castro Valley, San Leandro and Moraga can reach out for architectural design. Accepted payment methods include Cash, Check, Credit card, PayPal, Square cash app and Venmo. Request a quote from ALTUS Draft & Design on Fixerlane and describe the job you need done.
