Our Services
Gulizia Graphics is capable of handling your project from a concept or idea all the way to full construction documents. We have been preparing construction documents since 2000 and have had experience in designing everything from tenant improvements to full tract homes. Our specialty is designing and preparing the necessary drawings for large custom homes. We have drawn plans for small homes and guest quarters all the way up to 8,000 square foot custom homes.
Affordable Pricing
There is no project too big nor too small. We are a small architectural drafting company so we haven't lost what it means to need some plans drawn up for your project. When you sign on to Gulizia Graphics, you are going to deal with people who deeply care about project design and will be at your service whenever you have a question or need any additional services. Our drafting services and design services are on par with any other design or architect firm.
Our Qualifications
We have spent years studying what it takes to compose the most accurate and understandable construction documents. All too often, other designers and architects spend more time on how it looks verses how do you actually build the item in question. While “form over function” does play a role in architecture, we make sure that everything you see on paper can be reproduced in the field.

One of the major drawbacks to posting a phone number on the internet is that your website is scanned hundreds of times a day by robot scripts looking to harvest any information they can collect in the hopes of spamming you or selling that information to someone else.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who receives many phone calls per day though. It has gotten so bad that I rarely will answer the phone unless I recognize the phone number and the person calling displays their name. This has the unwanted side effect that I might be missing out on a potential job from someone making an inquiry. So many of the phone calls I receive are from my local area code which makes it almost impossible to determine if a call is legitimate or not.
Since no solution is coming anytime soon from the FCC to regulate spamming calls, I would ask that if you are calling to make an inquiry that you please leave a message on the answering service. I will always return a phone call no more than 24 hours from receiving it. Please be assured there is someone here to help you with your project.

An associate of mine recently sent me this old cartoon that sums up the role we all play in the construction industry. Click on the image to see the full joke. While I'd like to think that I listen to the wishes of my clients, I will admit there are times when I want to just design the most elaborate swing I can design.
I think this cartoon also illustrates what I've always known. Every person has their own perspective and you never assume that someone you are working with fully understands your vision. Make sure you have proper communications with all trades. You should be open to other people's suggestions, but at the end of the day, make sure you are getting what you want.

Starting on January 1, 2014 the State of California will be operating under the new 2013 Building Code. It is collectively known as Title 24. Every three years a new code goes into effect and this time is no different. Each revision of the code seems to get stricter in its requirements for building design and construction.
In 2010 we had a major addition to the building code called the "California Green Building Code". For anyone who has looked through this code, it's over 400 pages of requirements for all materials that can be used in construction. Among other items covered in the Cal Green code are the requirements for electrical, plumbing, and HVAC efficiencies.
As I have been familiarizing myself with some of the more subtle changes in the code, I have come to realize that it is going to be harder to prepare plans for small remodels or additions. Given the age of a dwelling, it might require some serious upgrades to the building as a whole just to be able to add a room. I guess the people who make these decisions feel this is the best way to update older and inefficient buildings.
