Santa Barbara Home Design

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars26 April 2015
“I’ve been working with Jeff for over three years now and he has helped me create the most amazing property I could have ever imagined. I have been working in construction over the last 24 years and have never met someone with such creativity, knowledge and professionalism. At every stage of the project Jeff exceeded my expectations and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Jeff is very talented at troubleshooting problems and always came up with great solutions. His attention to detail plus a dose of humor made it a very enjoyable experience. Also Jeff is a very talented artist and has created the most beautiful detailed renderings I have ever seen. It is literally like looking at a picture of the final product. Truly amazing and was such a valuable tool in our decision making. I have and will continue to recommend Jeff to anyone who is looking for a professional home designer.”

How to find the right building designer in Santa Barbara, CA for your build or renovation


As with all other professional services for home design and renovation, the best way to choose a building designer is to assess their past work against the style and requirements you have for your individual project.Most states don’t have specific registration processes for building designers, so it’s best that your search is based on past work and referrals. Some industry bodies or professional associations, such as the Building Designers Association of Victoria (BDAV), offer a list of members, which you can check against bodies such as the Victorian Building Authority (VBA), to gauge their type of work and any registration numbers.

Once you have a shortlist of building designers, engage in face-to-face talks about your brief, to ensure you’re on the same page.
