Nederhoff Architecture collaborates with commercial and residential clients to design and implement optimal solutions. We offer thorough and complete architectural services for a competitive and reasonable fee, based on actual time spent on each project. Since graduating from Harvard in 1984 with his Master in Architecture degree, firm leader Brad Nederhoff has been offering his architectural services for referral clients. Brad excels in listening, analyzing, brainstorming, and ultimately generating creative yet practical solutions that are carefully communicated with contractors. His thorough and professional process always leads to owner satisfaction with the ultimate outcome.

"This particular project was to add liveable space to our house. Brad understood our vision and the daunting constraints of our project (due to the age of the house), and offered several creative options that would meet our functional needs while being visually appealing. We particularly appreciated his skill at thinking outside the box to address our projectâ s constraints. We were able to choose a design not only that would work but that we loved."

"Marc Hershman is a wonderful architect! He was so easy to work with and offered great ideas for how to improve the house spatially so that the flow of the floor plan(on the first floor) became more aesthetic and efficient. Marc worked tirelessly in the extreme heat of the summer to achieve precise measurements of every inch of the house. His detailed plans were drawn beautifully and accurately and explained articulately in our first meeting. We appreciated Marc's follow up visits to ensure that the construction was done properly and according to plan. Marc related to the contractor in a positive and professional manner. Overall, Marc was always professional and prompt. We found his pricing to be extremely reasonable- great value for the dollar! We would definitely work with him again and highly recommend Marc Hershman to anyone in need of high-quality architectural services."

"We had our kitchen and primary suite renovated by Jamaal and his team at Yusra Design and we couldn't be happier with the decision. We really wanted a cohesive process of design phase through the build and the team was beyond our expectations on delivering exactly that. Through the entire process we were in great hands and the communication was excellent. They executed on the timeline that was communicated from the start of the process and the quality of the work and materials was top notch. We love both of our new spaces and would recommend Yusra to anyone that is looking for a competent and thorough team to help build their dream space."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

On average, exterior brick siding costs around $18,000 for a 2,500 square foot home. Whereas vinyl costs around $11,000 and engineered wood costs around $4,000 for the same size home. You also need to account for the cost to paint the material afterward.

Construction typically takes 3-6 months, including site preparation and assembly.

Framing is often the most expensive phase of building a house because it’s time-consuming and requires a lot of materials. It costs between $20,000 and $50,000 on average, depending on materials and labor costs. Before construction begins, it’s possible that purchasing land is the priciest step in the process. Some plots of land sell for $3,000, while others cost upwards of $150,000.

How long it takes to build a custom home or rebuild a home after a disaster varies depending on many factors, but averages between seven and 14 months. Smaller homes or homes that don’t need a re-poured foundation may take less time to build than larger homes or homes without an existing foundation. Material availability, contractor schedules, and permit and inspection timelines can all affect how long your house takes to build.
