Testimonials: Here are a few Satisfied Customers…
The Rustic Mercantile
“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!”

ILN Technologies Inc.
ILN recently acquired a new warehouse in Valencia California. Due to new ownership and new regulations in ADA and demolition, we had to retain an architect in order to do the work and obtain 3 different building permits.
After searching the internet for a reliable company, we contacted Grizzly Bear Architecture and Design, Mr. Charles Matthews, who had to provide us with new floor plan drawings as well as ADA work.
Mr. Matthews was prompt in his replies, his work was approved by the Valencia Building & Safety office who are very strict, the work was submitted in timely manner and approval was given on the plans the first time it was submitted.
We would recommend Mr. Matthews in the future and use him again as well.
USA Alarm Systems, Inc.
“USA Alarm Systems used the architectural services of Grizzly Bear Architecture and we were completely satisfied with the performance they provided. Charles was very detailed in his walkthrough and provided the drawings in a timely manner. We would definitely use Grizzly Bear Architecture and Design again for any of our architectural drawing needs and refer them to our clients.”
House Addition – The Mikels Family
“It has been nothing but a good experience working with you. We’ve enjoyed working with you. We totally love our new addition. The kids love it. They love the way it looks. They were kind of sad when we took the old room away because they didn’t know what was going to happen and where it went… But when they got the new room they were like, “…yeah, this one is a whole lot better!” And we’re glad that we have this. It just kind of opens up the house a little more… Gives us a little more room to move and be able to spend time together. We are all excited about this new addition and have nothing but good things to say as far as our relationship with your company.”
Tenant Improvement Testimonial – Triumph Actuation Systems – Valencia
“To whom it may concern,
I am the Facilities Manager at Triumph Actuation Systems in Valencia California. As a facilities manager I work with various contractors, vendors and suppliers on a daily bases.
I had the pleasure to work with Charles Matthews from Grizzly Bear Architecture these past several months. This was my first big construction project at this location and Charles provided me with direction and guidance throughout the process.
We encountered some obstacles during our permit process with LA County Regional Planning and Charles was able to help us overcome these obstacles. His actions kept the project on track and on time and helped us avoid additional cost.
When we found some construction concerns, Charles made himself available late in the evening to review and resolve the issue quickly and with an affordable design. He worked with the City Planning to approve the drawing changes and explained the details to our job superintendent to implement the changes in a timely matter.
Charles had made my life easier by providing excellent customer service and good ethical business practice. I would recommend Charles Matthews as one of our outstanding suppliers.Thank you Charles.” –

Tenant Improvement Testimonial- Maria’s Barber Shop
“We are new business owners and we were stuck in the plan approval phase with our city. We decided to hire Charles after two months of going back and forth between the city and our previous architect/engineering firm for our New Barber shop tenant improvements. Upon hiring Charles, it took him one week to work with the city to get the final part (ADA compliant parking lot improvements and water heater) of our plans approved!! Charles’ is very personable, responsive, knowledgeable, and a hands on architect who strives to get it right the first time!!
We highly recommend Charles and his firm should you need a responsible, reasonable, and professional architect for your construction project needs.” – Carlos and Yvette
