SSA

Fantastic service. Sharmila is outstanding. She understood our ideas and quickly had plans ready. She is always prompt at responding to emails to us and to the city. She is amazing at working with the city to get the permits issued quickly. I highly, highly recommend SSA

We hired SSA, Inc. for our single family residence remodel and addition project, and closely worked with Sharmila, principal architect at SSA. We are very glad that every phase of the project was very smooth and efficient, and Sharmila was there as a trusted guide at every step from beginning to end. She is very knowledgeable, transparent and able to patiently explains the details - first, she provided us the design options and studies for different scenarios to revamp and extend our existing kitchen and living room; once we settled on a design, she helped us navigate the city permits with the necessary documents and her familiarity with the process and articulate skills with inspection officials were critical in getting the approvals right the first time. We also decided to go with the general contractor she recommended, and together they delivered a high quality construction, paying attention to every detail that fit the outlined budget, timelines, safety and aesthetics. Our project was completed within 4 months of the start of construction on schedule. We highly recommend SSA, Inc. and Sharmila for their professional services.

Excellent Architect We hired SSA, Inc. for the exterior and interior remodel of our Autobody shop building. It is a challenging project since the building was never upgraded to be current code compliant. There are existing items to be legalized as well. Sharmila, Owner/Principal Architect is very knowledgable, experienced and familiar with city process, current building and fire codes. She is very personable, creative and suggested solutions and design that are both effecient for our setup as well as acceptable by the City. She and her competent, effecient team of engineers delivered design plans, renderings, drawing sets in a fast paced timeline so we do not have lags in our operations. SSA, Inc and team have expereince working with the building departments in all cities in the bay area. They communicate promptly and effectively with plan checkers and building officials. She is a fantastic architect who always works for the best outcome for her client. We are very thankful to have hired her and highly recommend her companys services for your remodel, addition or new construction project.

I am extremely fortunate to have found Sharmila. She is exactly what I was looking for. I am about to make one of the biggest moves of my life in constructing a new business from scratch and Sharmila can do it all. Think of a wedding planner but for new business construction. She is polite, professional, patient, curteous, accessible, punctual, and she definitely knows her stuff........I found my person!!

Sharmila is great to work with. She provides designs and city plans in a timely manner. Very responsive and makes herself available when situations arise. She is also very creative on how to resolve issues and repairs per city requirements. Which at the end of the day can save you some money on the project. I have used her on various projects and she always comes through on her work. I definitely recommend using her services.

Sharmila is fantastic. She works very quickly and figures out how to make time when changes or revisions are needed yesterday. She understands the city permit process, which is helpful in any construction project. She also selects great finishes that take your project to the next level, without it costing too much. She's a team player, collaborates great with the other trades so that ultimately everyone is very happy and very satisfied with the end results.

Sharmila was the best thing to happen to us on this major home remodel and ADU addition. She was extremely knowledgeable on all aspects from an architect stand point and what is allowed and not allowed from the city. She was very patient with us as we had so many changes and her advice was spot on. She also was able to find us a contractor that was also great. Anything Sharmila touches turns to gold!!

She Sharmila was very patient with us and very courteous , was very pleasant to talk to I highly recommend her to anyone

Sharmila is very sweet, professional and delivers on time. She will listen to your needs and guides you for the same. She helped with my major interior remodeling of my home from design to finish in Dublin including managing city permits and inspections. Helped me to keep the process simple. I would highly recommend her as she acquires great skills and knowledge in design and architectural field.

Sharmila is wonderful. She couldn't be more helpful and she moved the project through really fast. I was amazed at how fast and hard she worked. I would recommend her to everyone. We were having a really hard time with another engineering firm and after four months we had gotten no where. Sharmila moved us thorough in less than a month.

I have hired SSA for more than one project. Excellent experience. Fast, great communication, delivers promises and great support during the project. I highly recommend.

Sharmila is great, she is super helpful and responsive and a good communicator. She went above and beyond to help me so far in my construction project.

Sharmila came highly recommended from a mutual client. We hired her to assist with a total remodel / renovation of our business interior/exterior. She is professional, knowledgable and understands business which has helped to keep costs manageable. She has been a pleassant joy to work with.

Sharmila came recommended to us when we were ready to design and build a large cabana in our back yard. We met and let her know some of the ideas we had in mind. Sharmila has done similar projects in the past and was a wealth of knowledge in every step of the way, from the design to the amenities. Sharmila handled the drawing of the structural plan, application for permit, submitting plan to the city, etc. Throughout she was always on time and kept us updated on where we were in the process, very thorough. Sharmila is a true professional that was a pleasure to work with, we could not be happier with her and the design of our cabana.

I hired SSA to draft some prelim designs for me as I was looking to request updating the zoning of my land. I found Sharmila to be extremely proficient in her trade. She is very knowledgeable, proactive, communicates very well and always ready to jump in and help. She is also very personable and that made working with her very easy. I would definitely recommend her for Architectural services and would definitely reaching out to her for any further needs in the future.

To find someone who is a nice, easy going professional, knowledgeable in design and construction, good communication skills and down to earth person is difficult, however, Sharmila is all this... She is a motivated architect, designer, yet takes what the clients are looking to do and will provide her input as the progress and process continue forward throughout.

Sharmila went above and beyond preparing our permit set for our addition on our house. She was very professional and kept right on track to the schedule. She was very easy to get ahold of and thoroughly walked us through the process from start to end. It was a pleasure working with her and we highly recommend.

Our job was an interior remodel, and it was a pleasure to work with SSA. Sharmila walked us through the permit process, and the plans she prepared were accurate and thorough.

I would recommend them.

They did amazing work for our house.
