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!

Had a large remodel project and needed to get full designs and plans done. Process took a long time, but most of that was dealing with the county. To their credit, the project managers and the permitting team really had to push hard to get the plans through to the finish line. But we're finally ready and just started construction!

We have a really strange shaped lot, but really wanted to figure out how to get ann ADU onto our property. The city was pretty difficult to work with, but we were finally able to get a design they would allow. Appreciate the team at Pacific Sands for all of their help.

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.

Pacific Sands has been responsive and we are getting started on our project. We will report back once the job is finished. So far everything has been great. Great communication, responsive, professional, and competitive price.
