"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."

"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"

Serving Darien, GA and surrounding areas

In business since 1987

We specialize in residences and commercial buildings of all sizes, particularly frame structures and in all occupancy classifications. We do renovations and adaptive reuses of older buildings. Started in 1969 as in-house designers for an Atlanta homebuilder, the company was acquired in 1987 by project manager Phillip Andrew Jessup, who expanded the company in 1988 to include architectural services. From 1998 through 2000, we re-organized and expanded our focus to include renovation, remodeling, & interior design. From 2001 through 2003, we added Internet marketing of our extensive collection of home plans. Recent projects include a 5,000 sq. ft new estate home in a "sacred grove" planted by early settlers, several new 1500 - 2200 sq. ft. bungalows and narrow-lot urban homes, an award-winning expansion & renovation of a century-old bungalow, a kitchen re-design, basement finishing and bonus room expansions, a 13,000 sq. ft computer operations center for a financial institution, a traditional Tacqueria restaurant, a Bank branch, a Convenience Store in a quonset hut, and a school & classroom expansion to a church. Clients return to us for confidence in our sound & innovative designs that meet code, get permits, and are buildable. We hope you will, too.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

You should pick steel for your new support beam for a few reasons. While steel is more expensive than other materials, such as laminated veneer lumber or glulam, it offers the following benefits:

  • Fire-resistant

  • Unaffected by pests

  • Longer-lasting

  • Stronger against water damage (when galvanized against rust)

Yes, you can put a doorway in a structural wall; in fact, most exterior doors are set into structural walls. The project is a little more challenging than installing a door in a non-load-bearing wall because you need a structural engineer to assess the wall and make sure it’s safe to create a wall opening. Your engineer’s report will include instructions for your contractor on how and where to install additional supports, like steel headers above the door, to distribute the weight above to the wall on either side of the door.

A split-level home is one that has several staggered floors connected by short staircases, while a split floor plan separates the primary bedroom from the rest of the bedrooms. Split floor plans are most often found in single-story homes, while split-level homes are always at least two stories.
