Drew Blake, Owner

Drew Blake has a Masters Degree in Architecture from UCLA and has owned and operated his own firm, Drew Andelin Blake Design Studio, since 1991. Having to erect story poles for his own projects, Drew had a difficult time finding accurate, professional, story pole installers. Since Drew worked with his father, a licensed general contractor when he was younger, he had a good idea of what needed to be done and how to do it. He partnered with his brother, Kelly Blake, who studied Engineering, and they formed Staking Laguna.
Drew has the skill and knowledge to help architects understand the story pole requirements for each city, and how best to approach each project for the best possible result. Drew has a good understanding of the process of story poles, and often answers questions from those who are not familiar with staking plans and the scope of the work involved.
