Customers say: Super punctual

"Martin and Jake are the absolute best to work with. They were thorough, efficient, professional and so easy to work with for our basement structural work. They took time to explain what needed to be done, coordinated with different contractors (plumbing, electrical), and were able to complete our project on time while we were out of town for just a week(!!). I can't recommend Great Lakes Builders more - they were a pleasure to work with and we will absolutely be using them again for any future work we need. 5+ stars!"

"Bill was able to come out within 4 days of my initial call. He was punctual and able to quickly identify the cracks as shrinkage and not any structural settling issues. He charges $400 for an inspection and $650 if you want a written report. We were fine with just a verbal since there were no problems. Pricey for 20minutes worth of work, but we're glad for the piece of mind. Everything went smooth."

"Overall our experience with Idea was very good, but we did have a few hiccups along the way that should have been prevented.? For example, there was a overwrite issue while two architects were working on the same set of plans which resulted in some confusion during the building and bid processes.? Peter did meet and sometimes exceeded our expectations for our very tight schedule while staying on budget for the most part.? Peter was very helpful in resolving issues with contractors and other issues that came up on the building site.?Ideas' pricing for our project was very competitive although not the lowest bid we received.? A coordination error between architects resulted in a number of lost modifications that were not caught until the bid process was completed and building had begun.? As a result the contractors required additional fees beyond the original bid to accommodate these changes.? Additionally, our project was selected for a random audit by the city. The city found a few items that required changes in the plans which required a second permitting and zone process to be completed. Peter was always quick to respond to emails and phone calls throughout the process. Peter was always very punctual and generally well organized. During the audit process we were looped into the process far more than we should have been resulting in increased stress for us.? We later learned that the audit was check of the architect's self-permitting status and was not intended to delay or disrupt the progress of our project.? Unfortunately, Peter did not convey this to us in a clear manner and cause quite a bit of additional stress surrounding our project.? It was also a bit irritating that we were billed for time that Peter and his team spend on this audit.? The audit increased our overall architectural fees by approximately $2,000."

The crews treated our home as if it was their own and cleaned up very well each day. Brian was very honest, he stuck to the proposal and contract, Everything looks fantastic and it couldn't have gone more smoothly!!! We would highly recommend him to anyone."

"Painting was not completed as desired. Many incomplete areas with paint splashes and spills on floor (the latter was cleaned up by their cleaning crew when I complained). Painter was let go and several others were asked to complete the work but none did a great job and still many areas not completed. I stopped the process and will finish it myself.

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

No, a structural engineer is not the same as a builder. A structural engineer is an expert in all things related to the structural integrity of a building. The structural engineer is responsible for calculating the correct materials in terms of load-bearing capacity and overall structural safety. Structural engineers do not perform the actual building of the house or other structures. Rather, the builder executes the plans and designs specified by the structural engineer.

It depends on the bank and the extent of the issue. Some banks will lend against homes with minor foundation damage, but most won’t if the issue is structural since the home acts as collateral for the mortgage. Banks that offer renovation loans might still finance a home with structural problems. More minor issues like settling cracks and intermittent problems with humidity are unlikely to stop a bank from financing.

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.

Stone, marble, and brick are common building materials of Neoclassical architecture, though you will also find wood flooring and a range of natural stone tiles. Since several home styles fall under Neoclassical architects' umbrella, a range of building materials—including traditional wood framing—will make an appearance.
