"They were excellent. They quickly made a draft that only needed 3 minor adjustments. The final product was exactly what I needed. They referred me to a structural engineer for review. The whole process took half of the time that they initially estimated. I would definitely use them again."

"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"

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

Although the two terms are closely related and often used interchangeably, pier and beam foundations and crawl spaces are different things. A pier and beam foundation is made up of concrete piers and wooden beams and creates a space under the home known as a crawl space. There are several types of foundations that create crawl spaces, often collectively known as “crawl space foundations,” but the crawl space itself is separate from the foundation. 

In many areas, advice from a structural engineer or an architect will be required by your building department before you can remove a wall, but even if it’s not necessary, it’s a good idea. Accidentally removing a load-bearing wall—even if a general contractor advises that it’s safe—can cause major structural damage, putting you and your family at risk and potentially costing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in property damage.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

Yes, professionals reinforce the foundation with additional supports or piers to prevent future sinking.
