Save Money By Planning First

Many projects in Santa Barbara get bogged down and take months longer (sometimes years) because proper planning wasn't conducted from the start. With Glassfox, we do that planning which you can then use to inform the rest of your project. With us you save money and time.

We serve Santa Barbara County, including Montecito.

Reordering the Process to Save You Money and Time

Architects usually do the planning we do but it happens later on in the pipeline for one simple reason. They have different incentives. Our service prioritizes reordering the process in order to save you time and money.

With us you won't run into any unexpected hickups (as is standard in Santa Barbara) that hold up your project for months.

Smarter First Step, Lower Cost

Architects charge tens of thousands before confirming feasibility. Glassfox gives you zoning and ADU answers first.

Clear Goals, Real Progress

When you go with us there is no guesswork. Just clarity, saved time, and saved money. That effect compounds.
