Anna Purvis Architecture

I was looking for an architect and to help me with my adu garage conversion. I called 4 architects only one answered the phone and that was Anna Purvis. She gave me a rough idea of the process of going about getting a permit and what her scope of work would be and how it would be a great idea to have an architect to help me in the process. She also gave me her price for her work. So I actually did not call her back until a few months after the first phone call but when I did call her back she actually remembered me and we talked a bit more and I hired her. It was best decision I made in this entire process. The first meeting we had she was on time, unlike any of the contactors we had visit us. she took a look at the garage and assured she was going to take great care of us through this process and she has done an outstanding job. she said she would do some drawings over the weekend and send them to us by Monday, well she had them done on Friday. She is extremely prompt, knowledgeable and polite. She answered all of my questions no matter how many or dumb the questions were. She is very detailed and knows exactly how to navigate the permit process. She didn't want me to do work that was unnecessary to keep the project cost effective. She will even let you know if she thinks a bid is too high. I highly recommend having Anna Purvis on your side when dealing with this process. She has been worth every penny, you will not be disappointed.

I had an excellent experience working with Anna Purvis Architecture. Anna worked quickly to get our project back on track when we needed architectural and structural engineering drawings for a new permit. She was very responsive, detail-oriented, and patient as she guided us through the entire process. The turn-around time to produce the plans was fast and her pricing is very fair. I will not hesitate to work with Anna again for future projects and will happily recommend her services to others.

Anna was very professional in her approach and incredibly _prompt_ in her responses. Her work always seemed very thorough, which resulted in our permit approval process to breeze past far more quickly than we had anticipated.

She was very quick at following and understanding our expectations from the redesign, during our initial conversation and the many follow ups we had over the phone. To our surprise, we were able to get all of the decisions down over phone calls during lockdown restrictions, with only the information gathered in her one elaborate visit to our house. A remarkable thing we noticed in our experience was, though she is well-versed with the city code, she would still cover all bases to see if her knowledge and assumptions reflect the current guidance from the city, and would also share citations from it to help understand our limitations.

In our experience, one thing we would have liked more of is, her input in our redesign goal and her thoughts and ideas on any creative ways to reach those goals.

Working with Anna was really hassle-less, and far more smooth than we had heard from others experiences. We are glad to recommend Anna to anyone looking for an architect for big or small projects.

Our first architect didn't know how to do light industrial. I got in touch with Anna Purvis on Christmas Eve. She got right back to me! Once she had the job she kept going, she's the most responsive, detail oriented Architect I've ever worked with. She came out, met with all the people working on the job, resubmitted with all comments answered, and I got the permit with her first review! I'll be using her on all my future projects. She works on everything from multi-million dollar commercial projects and still takes residential projects.

Anna is an amazing architect to work with. We hired Anna after our previous architect disappeared after doing half the job. We had a very difficult project as our home in Gilroy was considered historical a lot of loops to go through. After contact Anna we were able to meet and show her what we had and what we needed. Within less then a month she was able to submit them to they city and we got our permit. She walks you through everything constantly keeping in contact with you and the city until the permit is in our hands. What took the previous architect over a year Anna was able to do 100x quicker and more professional. The city was even very please with what we submitted with our previous architect to what we submitted with Anna. Hands down she is an amazing person and awesome architect and we would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for an architect!
