Small Buildings Inc

This Architectural Company was established in May of 1986 by Neil Arthur Sofia with nine years of drafting, design and construction experience with several regionally notable firms in San Francisco and Philadelphia. For the past 31 years, our focus has been on residential design, tenant improvements and related disabled accessibility. This company is a design oriented architectural firm providing all aspects of planning, programming, design, drafting, working drawings, permit expediting, contractor selection and construction support. We will provide any combination of specific services that are appropriate to the needs of each client and their individual project. For more complex designs we also offer 3D perspectives and scale model making. Our range of projects vary from as small as a deck, stair, entry, balcony, elevator, wheel chair lift to additions, alterations, renovations, custom homes; to as large as multi-family apartments and mixed use buildings. Tenant improvements to date include professional offices, warehouses, tanning/beauty salons, small business retail, ADA restrooms and path of travel upgrades. I have personally obtained about 400 permits in private practice and have been involved with about 50 permits working for other firms. The majority of our business has been in San Francisco and San Mateo counties along with a few projects in Oakland, San Rafael and Sausalito. We are familiar with expediting permits in San Francisco, Daly City, Pacifica, South San Francisco, Millbrae, San Mateo, San Carlos, San Bruno, Half Moon Bay, Hillsborough, and La Honda; however we are interested in projects up to a 30 mile radius of the Bay Area.
