Adesuwa, It was a pleasure helping you successfully navigate the program. Being part of the effort to revitalize Oakland's small business corridors has been incredibly rewarding, and we're grateful that you entrusted us with your project. Thank you for the opportunity to support your vision and contribute to the continued growth and vibrancy of Oakland's business community. Wishing you continued success
Working with Plenum Architecture has been a great experience for Albert Construction Inc. As a small Oakland-based general contractor, one of my goals has been to grow my company and become better prepared to compete for larger public and prevailing-wage projects. Plenum Architecture has helped me step up to that next level, especially by giving me the opportunity to gain experience working on FTIP-funded projects and understanding the requirements that come with prevailing-wage contracts. Their team has helped me better understand compliance, documentation, labor requirements, project coordination, and the expectations that come with performing public-funded construction work. For a small business contractor, getting the opportunity to build this type of experience is extremely valuable. I appreciate Plenum Architecture for working with local small businesses like Albert Construction Inc. and helping create a pathway for us to grow, strengthen our capabilities, and compete for larger opportunities. I look forward to continuing to work with Plenum Architecture and building on the experience and relationship we have developed. — Darius West Owner, Albert Construction Inc. “Service That Nails It.”
Darius , Thank you for being a valued community partner in revitalizing oaklands forgotten small business corridors.
Omar is a great person always helping … thanks Omar
We brought Plenum Architects onto our project midstream, and they immediately rose to the challenge of navigating numerous complex and unfamiliar contingencies. The team was the penultimate in professionalism...thorough, attentive, and committed to excellence. They submitted our permit package with every detail carefully addressed, and what typically requires multiple rounds of review with our local building department was approved in the very first round. Thanks to their dedication, we now have our permit in hand and are deeply grateful for the skill and diligence they brought to the process. Without hesitation, we would choose Plenum again for future projects.
Thank you Tiffany for such a kind and generous review. You were ideal clients in that you were very responsive and paid our invoices quickly :) So thank you! and hope you enjoy the cottage, finally, soon!

Thank you for your kind words its a pleasure working with Local Women General Contractors. Plenum will always prioritize small businesses
Omar and Bridget are the kind of people you want to work with, not just because they’re great architects, but because they’re genuinely good people. They deeply care about the communities they’re part of and try to really understand the people/history/dynamics that shape a place. More importantly, they respect it. Even outside of a work setting, Omar and Bridget bring a kind of ease and sincerity that makes you feel like you’re in good hands. I have no doubt that anyone working with them will come away feeling supported.
Jackie, It was a pleasure having you work for Plenum Architecture. We look forward to see your future accomplishments.
Hiring Plenum Architects for our ADU project was one of the best decisions we've made. From the initial consultation to the final design, their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were outstanding. They took our vision and elevated it, creating a space that is not only functional but also beautifully designed. Communication throughout the process was clear and timely. They walked us through every step, offered smart design solutions, and made sure the final result exceeded our expectations. Their understanding of local building codes and permitting also saved us a lot of stress. We couldn't be happier with the finished product. Our new ADU feels like a natural extension of our home, and we’re constantly receiving compliments from friends and neighbors. If you're looking for a talented, reliable, and innovative architect for your ADU or any residential project, look no further than Plenum Architect. Truly a 5-star experience!
