I reached out to Grizzly Bear Architecture after I had a previous architect start my TI submission for my permits. The previous architect’s designs were not approved! Once I started working with Charles, I knew I made the right decision and that he would expedite this process. His attention to detail and knowledge of what I needed to get approval was a relief. Anytime I reached out to him with questions he was always attentive and patient. I always felt at ease knowing he was confident with helping me achieve each and every step through this process to receive approval with the Building and Safety Department and the Health Department. I would highly recommend him for any project small or large. He surpassed all my expectations. Thank-you Charles for your professionalism and attention to detail to help us open our doors to our new business!”

I called Charles for structural advice regarding a home I was purchasing. I needed a master suite designed, but first, the home had a lot of red flags. It had an unpermitted structure possibly located on leech fields. Charles helped by pointing out inspector fines, septic tank issues, and city water fees, among other things. He also explained the extensive permitting process and that could ensue as a result. He thoroughly discussed best and worst case scenarios with me, and was clear and easy to understand. It was obvious that he is very experienced and knowledgeable. I didn’t end up buying this particular house but would definitely use Charles in the event that I need an architect. I highly recommend him.

After having a bad experience with our initial architect, my wife and I were in dire need to find a responsible and professional architect to lay out the plans for our business. We feel very fortunate to have found Charles Matthews, not only because he’s highly knowledgeable, but he got us back on track. He’s extremely experienced with Santa Clarita Building and Safety city codes and has an easy going nature. Was always quick to answer any questions and worked extra hours to get our plans completed for the city. We highly recommend Charles Matthews to anyone in need of architectural design.

Charles Matthews did a terrific job drawing up the plans for our new facility for our FM radio station. He was prompt, accurate and easy to work with. He also knew how to quickly navigate through the permitting process and was able to make the necessary adjustments quickly, easily and inexpensively. We were able to get our permit and begin construction in record time. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
