"I am having a full master bath and kitchen remodel done with new layouts in both rooms and knocking out a wall. Evolution worked with me to quickly get a drawing done of the new layouts so that the contractor could get started on the project. They made sure to include me in the process so that the design would be done exactly as my wife and I envisioned. They communicated effectively throughout the process and were always courteous and professional. I recommend them to anyone with drafting needs."

"We had a great experience working w Nolan. He was very professional and knowledgeable w attention to the details of our wants and needs in a very timely manner. We are taking an existing lake home, reworking the interior and adding several additions w complicated rooflines. Nolan did a commendable job for us w house plans and elevations. What a great feeling to see our dream come to life. I will say that working w Nolan has been the easiest part of this rebuild so far. Thank you Nolan!"

"We called a lot of contractors for this job and many never returned our calls. Those who did were difficult to get a hold of thereafter. The first thing that impressed us about Building Unlimited was their punctuality. They called us back immediately and always answered their phones. Once, Donny went back to the office after he had already left for the day to re-run some numbers for the project for us. Their availability and willingness to meet our needs were the greatest determining factors in our decision to hire them for the project.

Their estimate was the highest we received for the project, but it was completely worth it. We realized later that many other contractors had not planned to do things as thoroughly and would have used shortcuts in order to charge a lower price. If we had to do it over again, we wouldn't change a thing---except perhaps not waste time calling other contractors in the first place!

"I was really under the gun due to a prior Architectural firm not performing their duties per building plan codes. Not only were the plans incomplete but the City Plan Reviewer states(The Worst plans he’s ever seen) they will not make adjustments unless there is an additional charge for Thousands. Evaluation’s saved my clients and drew our project per code, along with Engineering in less time then they quoted. I highly recommended them, Especially Kirsten. You went above and beyond trying to coordinate this project. The staff was very professional and I will use them on all my projects. Sincerely, Frank B BCM Builders"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. 

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

Yes, all states require structural engineers to carry the proper license, with specifics determined by each state. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm that the structural engineer you’re considering holds the required licensing to tackle your job. Hiring an unlicensed structural engineer will not only cause issues with permits but it could also lead to an unsafe building. The cost of a professional, licensed, and experienced engineer is well worth the investment.

Precast concrete can be reinforced with rebar, wire mesh, or other materials to improve its strength and add stability. Precast concrete for large construction projects is often pre-stressed as well for greater structural strength. Reinforced concrete is durable and strong, making it an ideal choice for many construction projects.

Building codes for spiral staircases will vary by your location. Most local codes will specify minimum tread width, riser height, handrail requirements, and headroom. These standards help ensure safety and accessibility for all users. Always check local codes before you begin the installation to ensure compliance and avoid costly modifications or fines.
