My son and I reached out to Dwelling Lab recently to help with the design and permitting process of a garage conversion at our house in Sacramento having never done this before. Neil Ginty was the architect who assisted us through the entire permitting process! We will use him again when we add an ADU to the middle of the property- he was so helpful and reasonable!

Neil, the owner of the company was fantastic. He did a great job for my garages. He always available when I have a question and responded me in a timely manner. I will hire him for next project.

Going forward with any home remodel or building project is quite stressful. Neil Ginty is calm and unflappable regardless any big or small issues that may arise. He is also very responsive and efficient. The pace of how fast you want to move the process is totally up to you. Neil will also tell you if your idea is not a great one; or he'll tell you the idea is great but will need a bit more research before it can be implemented in some better form or fashion.We are building an attached ADU over a back-filled pool hole. The project is somewhat complicated due to the pool hole and the need to attach the new built onto the existing house. I think if we did not have Neil, the process would have been much, much harder.

Neil and his team at Dwelling Lab were amazing! From the initial design until my final inspection they were very responsive and communicative. We had a number of hurdles we had to overcome throughout my project and Neil made the entire process much smoother. What started as a conversation between my wife and I ended in a beautiful ADU conversion, far exceeding our expectations. I would highly recommend Dwelling Lab for any design, planning, or consulting needs!
