From the first appointment to do a scan of my home, to the final permitting process for my project, Pacific Sands stood out for the professionalism of their entire staff and the high quality work by Victoria, the designer I worked with. The agreement included two different design options and I loved both, but the one I ended up choosing gave me exactly what I was looking for in terms of design and best use of the space in the Addition I'm building. I interviewed several firms, but went with Pacific Sands because I was very impressed by how they were able to bring so many other projects to life after reviewing their website, and speaking with one of the principals, Cameron Cox. They were able to get things moving along fairly quickly with the City for approval, not an easy feat. Overall, I'm super excited to bring my Addition - a dream new big master closet, expanded master bedroom and bath, into fruition. Thank you, Cameron, Kevin, Victoria and Mark, for a job well done. I definitely recommend, without hesitation, Pacific Sands to anyone looking for a top notch architectural firm!

I had the pleasure of working with Cameron and I’m highly impressed with his expertise and professionalism. Cameron demonstrated an exceptional ability to understand the project needs, taking time to listen and ask insightful questions. He’s assessment of the project pro and cons were balanced and well informed, providing clarity and confidence in our decision-making process. What truly stood out was Cameron’s genuine care. He offered thoughtful advice on guidance. I highly recommend Cameron for any civil engineering projects.

We connected in initially -- took a few days break. They responded by phone to perform the walk-through. We have more to do but so far, I've appreciated the communication and the discussion about the project.

I reached out to Pacific Sands with a need for a quick turnaround. They were completely honest and told me my revisions would take about four weeks before they could submit them. I chose another company that promised a one-week turnaround but ultimately submitted four weeks later. While I didn’t end up hiring Pacific Sands, I want to give them 5 stars for their honesty and integrity. I regret not choosing them.

I was going to use Pacific Sands to help me do a redesign and remodel of my home. They were great to begin working with. Reasonable pricing and great communication. Unfortunately, my insurance insisted that I replace my existing roof. I had to use a large portion of the remodel fund that I had saved so I have to delay the project.
