Architectural Drafting & Design FAQs for Saratoga

The Hillside Specific Plan governs Saratoga's hillside parcels with rules on slope density, ridgeline protection, lot coverage, building height, color palette, grading, and view preservation. Most upper Saratoga parcels are subject to it.
Substantial residential projects in hillside areas, custom homes over certain thresholds, and projects with variances typically require Planning Commission review with public hearing.
Saratoga plan-check averages 8-14 weeks for additions, 4-8 months for hillside custom homes including Planning Commission hearings, and longer when neighbors appeal.
Yes — Saratoga has strict heritage tree protection. Trees over certain trunk diameters require permits to remove and TPZ protection during construction. Our site plans include tree surveys and protection details.
Yes, but second stories in Hillside Specific Plan areas have strict height, ridgeline, and view-corridor rules. We design two-story hillside homes that step with the slope.
Custom Saratoga home design typically runs $5-$10 per square foot for complete construction documents — higher than peer cities due to hillside complexity and design review depth.

★★★★★

Tommy, Yuna, and their entire team were amazing from start to finish. We hired them for a big project that included foundation work, a structural retrofit, replacing the PGE main service line, and installing a new 200-amp panel. It was a pretty major job, and honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better crew to handle it. Everyone was professional, polite, and knew exactly what they were doing. They showed up on time, cleaned up every day, and were super respectful of our space.

I hired 9Builders to work on my backyard and they did an amazing job. They built a nice structure that looks really great and added so much to my yard. The team was friendly and kept everything clean while they worked. The work was done quick and looked really good. Now they're working on the front of my house to add an extension, and I'm impressed how fast they worked. They finished the foundation in just two days...
