Great tools that made the communication easy with the plans and changes we needed. And they handled the engineering and permitting too, which was great. Highly recommend."

"This company was one of the first to respond after putting out my request for work on HomeAdvisor. Wil is a very personable business man, his client relations staff is wonderful and they were able to begin work on the project in a reasonable amount of time from first point of contact. I loved the fact that Wilâ s company took on my smaller kitchen project, as most companies had a threshold amount of $4k and didnâ t want to be bothered. Wil has excellent contractors and walked through project with me upon completion. Heâ s got got my future business!"

ADA accommodations often take the shape of wider doors and hallways, ramps, elevators, lower counters and sinks, and easy-to-grab door handles; universal design can include these plus emphasize better lighting, tractioned floors, and other building elements that allow all people to use buildings more comfortably.

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect.
