I've had the pleasure of working with Al and his team on several projects, ranging from an interior remodel to a full scale gut/expansion/renovation of a single family home in San Francisco. From our very first meeting I got the sense that Al really understood my goals and design aesthetic. Upon working with him, it became evident that not only is he skilled in designing beautiful spaces, but he is also very experienced in dealing with the complex permitting process here in the City. Having him on our team to navigate that process was invaluable. Most importantly, Al and his team were very easy to communicate with and always made themselves available when we needed them. The responsiveness and professionalism on their end made everything that much easier. I would highly recommend Al and his team to anyone looking for architectural services .

I was decide renew my home and hired Al's team to change my home as well as design . He worked hand in hand with me every step of the way making recommendations and willingly taking my suggestions. Often he would sketch a concept for me while we talked so I could see exactly what I was going to get. I have the permit from the city now .Thank You.

I have to admit, I was lucky to find this company. Their work was excellent. Al was great. He explained all the steps and provide me with the drawing. His plan approved by city of Oakland in 3 days. My contractor was impressed and asked me for his number. I highly recommend them. I would give them 6 stars if I could.

I am ecstatic to give DRAMS Architects and Al Dram a well-deserved 5-star review for their exceptional work on my boba tea shop's tenant improvement project. The team's expertise, innovative design approach, and use of cutting-edge 3D scanning technology ensured a perfect blend of aesthetics and functionality. The inviting atmosphere, created through their attention to detail, elevates the customer experience. Al Dram's excellent communication and commitment to deadlines contributed to the project's timely completion within budget. DRAMS Architects' proficiency in using advanced technology truly sets them apart, and I wholeheartedly recommend them for any architectural project.
