Dear Ari, When I requested a refund in the text feed with you for the work that you did not do when I fired you after a year of producing no results, you said, “No one else is going to do a better job than me.” Well I thought I’d let you know that our place is permitted where you failed and the people I found finished it with kindness and excellence, for half the price, in just a few months, and they don’t even have a storefront. You got smoked dog. So you take the $3000 you ripped me off for and bandage up your unfounded pride.

Creative and Amazing! Great team of professional with ethics minded. They deliver the final work on time and are very, very reliable and easy to work with. SKSI -Plans & Permits made our two last project very easy without any hassle. Very happy with the service, communication, and results.

You are one of the few professionals I’ve encountered who are truly interested in the best outcome for your clients. I’ve been working with SKSI Plans & Permits for a few months, I started with a stock house plan that didn’t fully meet my needs, But then I hired Aryeh at SKSI, who is actually the driving force behind the firm and has a unique way of balancing actual ideas with great design, and realistic budgets. Very satisfied with SKSI Plans & Permits and a goof company to work with.

It all started when our client (very particular) needed to do some additions into their distressed property and needed to know where to start. We actually met SKSI at one of our commercial partner's projects and their store was the exact style of home they were looking to build. Why not send them there? Well, we didn't anticipate that they would handle the permits too! So now they get all of our clients. A++ would recommend to everyone

*WARNING READ THIS* Do your research on the owner of this company before you spend your hard earned money. Does not have license to provide engineering services and lies about the amount of locations they have. Most of the reviews on their yelp pages are fake and pay close attention to the negative reviews. Here are some reviews from others online: Rip-off Report: Unlicensed individual, Richard Arthur Avraham Aryeh Rifkin, operating and illegally advertising Architectural Service Chain in several locations in California and Nevada. Rifkin has not complied with the licensing laws and regulations governing the architect, engineer, or loan officer professional practice in any U.S. jurisdiction. Bait & switch Richard Arthur Avraham Aryeh Rifkin will say he is waiting on a loan to pay employees and consultants then never pays. Property owners beware Richard Arthur Avraham Aryeh Rifkin is uneducated, unlicensed, unqualified to perform Architecture, Engineering, or Loans avoid this fraud. Do your research. Yelp: BEWARE! RUN! I paid these con artists thousands and got nothing in return. Aryeh talks big and can't deliver. They charged me for work that was never done. SKSI doesn't have any license to practice architecture! They prey on ignorant homeowners. The Glendale City Attorney needs to get involved. Yelp: I am in the process of obtaining permits for my ADU. Having set an appointment to evaluate my needs, I was presented with a contract for $2,500 for plans and filing which not only could be done for far less, but is only a first step in a longer process I stated I needed prior to setting the appointment. When I asked for an estimate for the entire project I was told they did not provide those services. Nor could they recommend anybody. It makes little sense to not have plans / permits handled by the contractor(s) doing the actual work. Simply doing / filing the plans is not productive given the city requirements and need to be up to current code. When I pressed again for any professional opinion about the entire project I was told he wouldn't even measure/estimate without a payment. He also became angry with me and asked why I set an appointment if I wasn't ready for him to get to work. The last was the most absurd part - he is in a business where one choose from among professionals who can provide the services. He couldn't even do what I needed, even though I was clear on the phone about my needs. This was a waste of my time, and for him to get angry because I wasn't ready or willing to have him start work immediately upon the consultation is wholly unprofessional. You can also research the owner online. He has a history of aggressive legal behavior when he feels wronged and frankly, is simply not a nice guy, his compelling and sympathetic health background notwithstanding.
