"This company is owned and run by "old school" professional people who do what they say they will do. Everyone from the office staff to the crew that did the work to the owner Greg McBride were wonderful to work with. I wish I had know about them 4 years ago and I would have used them for everything in and around my home. I trust them and will use them in the future."

"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"

I believe that good design is not just for the privileged class in America. For the last fifteen years, it has been my goal to deliver quality design services at an affordable price to "the average American family."\n\nWith offices in Atlanta and Manchester, I introduced the concept of portability in architectural design by bringing architecture to the kitchen table in your home. I became known as the "affordable-portable architect".\n\nWe specialize in residential architecture and small commercial project design. \n\nTo prevent costly and unnecessary misunderstandings, we provides our clients with full 3D services at affordable prices. We differ from most architects by engaging our clients in the actual design process. Our interactive design approach versus the standard reactive design approach gives our customer a greater sense of satisfaction and understanding of their project.\n\nWith our state-of-the-art object-oriented design software, 24 hour turnaround is available on some small projects.\n\nEach project varies in level of complexity and difficulty. We base our fees on those two criteria only. We will match any reasonable fee.\n\nContrary to conventional wisdom, the architect's fee represents a very small fraction of the total cost of your housing cost.\n\nThere is also substantial evidence that shows that a good set of architectural plans improves the overall quality of the project and usually results in a lower bid from the contractor. The contractor usually adds cost to the project to cover the unknown.\n\nWithout a set of drawings, "everything is an unknown".\n\nIf you own land and can not afford the upfront cost of an architect, call us and we may consider being your partner with a project equity position.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.

A structural engineer evaluates any structural components, like floors, foundations, walls, and roofs, to ensure they can support the structure. They also consider the soil quality in your area, potentially extreme weather conditions, and proximity to bodies of water and groundwater to ensure your building can withstand any stresses placed on it by the surrounding environment. Structural engineers work on both new and existing buildings.

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.

Structural engineers typically conduct inspections during a home sale or renovation, looking for signs of structural damage in various structures throughout the building, such as load-bearing walls, joists, beams, roofing trusses, foundations, and chimneys. Some of the warning signs that structural engineers check for include:

  • Dry rot

  • Infestation

  • Shifting or cracking foundations

  • Erosion

  • Water damage

  • Sagging, shifting, or damaged walls, ceilings, or roofing support

Yes, walls on the top floor can be load-bearing if stacked on the floor’s foundation.
