David helped me get permits on a Tuff Shed and a patio structure in my back yard. The Tuff She was a nightmare from the City of Santa Barbara as the structure should not have needed a permit due to it's size, but nonetheless the Santa Barbara city gave me nothing but grief in getting this process done. I had a patio structure that my prior land scape architect could not get permitted for an unknown reason. Anyhow, David managed to get both issues cleared up. His help was very appreciated. He does follow up well, but these issues take time and everyone has to be patient. I appreciated David being so patient and following up the way he did.

We needed help with our ADU conversion. We found David on yelp and began the process. Unbeknown to us, he has no idea what he's doing and his estimate of hours needed has no basis in reality. David is very nice and well meaning, unfortunately he billed us 3 times the amount of hours he "expected" he needed for an existing garage. And this was not to actually get the process started. He told us there are 2 options we could go. Option 1 is a preprocess called planner consultation: of asking the city questions to find out the scope of the project. This option would allow for us save money by seeing what we can do. Isn't that what his services are for?... read full review

Mr. Watkins is fantastic. He worked on my project that consisted of 8 Condo Units and 1,400 square feet of office space. Out of all the professionals out there, he was one of the best to work with. He was responsive to my phone calls, was receptive to my ideas, and did great work. I would recommend him without hesitation.
