Steve is a very professional and honest person. He and his team respect the deadline, give the right advices and fair prices. I recommend anybody to work with Ergo and I can't wait to work on new projects with them !

My wife & I hired Ergo Architecture with Steve Mayman as lead to design and permit a bedroom addition for my house in Point Loma. They brought in the additional engineers required and designed the addition in a few short months and then permitted it through the City of San Diego in 3 months. From design to permit in 5 months! Amazing. Their fees were very reasonable and their responsiveness was quick. I then completed the addition with my general contractor in 3 months. I had no problems with the inspectors that Ergo could not quickly resolve. We recieved final inspection from the City 8 months after first commissioning Ergo. That is unheardof. My daughter is very happy with her bright and roomy new bedroom. I enjoyed working with Ergo's Steve Mayman and his staff on this addition and recommend Ergo Architecture for those whom are interested in getting things designed well and permitted / constructed efficiently in San Diego County.

We used Ergo Architecture to design, permit and direct construction of the addition we made to our canyon-side home. Ergo’s previous experience with hillside projects, successful track record in permitting, and generation of designs that actually get built were key to our decision.
The design process was thorough and expedient, generating several options for us to consider based on the design input we’d provided and our project constraints (site limitations, budget, etc.) The whole team at Ergo participated in the design process, which provided a range of possibilities for us to select from. Meetings were fruitful and the process proceeded rapidly, as we’d hoped.
As our project required both a development permit and a building permit, I was especially grateful for Ergo’s guidance through interactions with the neighborhood community planning committee / subcommittees. Steve’s insights and experience were invaluable at navigating permitting, which resulted in our project getting a first-cycle planning committee approval, despite several unanticipated hurdles. Once we advanced to the building permit stage, we were once again grateful for Ergo’s masterful navigation of the process.
Now built, our house is the home for our family we’d envisioned. I’d highly recommend the team at Ergo for any residential project.
Disclosure - I am married to the Principal at Ergo Architecture who participated in but did not manage the project. The guidelines of Google allow such reviews and I hope readers find it useful.
