I help homeowners design and plan their remodeling project using my 25 years of experience in residential remodeling. Please check out many samples of my work at Houzz and my website. I create beautiful photo realistic images of their project completed with all their personal selections on finishes, plus complete architectural drawings for bidding, getting building permits and guiding construction. I put homeowners in charge of their remodeling projects by creating a very detailed plan so multiple contractors can bid on the same project so you can compare bids apples to apples.

"Bruce has done 2 projects for me. Both turned out great. He had great insight for the space, was prompt in making an appointment and in responses, and very reasonable in price. I would highly recommend Bruce."

At R2 Studios Architecture, we help entrepreneurs open Residential Assisted Living (RAL) facilities by providing the architectural plans and compliance documents needed for licensing approval. We focus exclusively on senior living design, which means we understand exactly what cities, the Department of Labor and Industry (DLI), the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), and the Metropolitan Council require for approval. Our process saves time, money, and stress: • Site Assessments – identify issues before inspections. • Architectural Plans – fully code-compliant drawings. • Evacuation Plans – meet MDH and life-safety standards. • Licensing Support – smoother approvals with fewer revisions. We make the licensing journey easier so operators can focus on building successful care homes and serving their residents with confidence.

"Anna has very clear vision on what has to be done. If you ask for recommendations she is all open to share her thoughts."

"We hired Enerjac to build an addition and kitchen remodel in October, 2024, and are still waiting for project completion in November, 2025. Far from having a "tradition of excellence," we found Enerjac to be deceitful, manipulative, and incompetent, with problems ranging from failure to contain lead dust to leaving holes in the exterior wall wide enough for a man to fit through in mid-winter. Communication was terrible, and our emails since mid-October, 2025, have gone unanswered, despite lingering issues like a non-functioning radiator and a cracked conrete stoop, both of which they installed. The project was plagued by delays and excuses. The structure was not built to the plan or specifications, for which we requested (and were denied) compensation. I would not recommend this company and do not plan to use their services again."

Locally owned and operated Architecture firm specializing in challenging residential and commercial projects. Brent Holdman has 20+ years of experience in the field of architecture pursuing expertise in all phases of design projects (concept design through certificate of occupancy) and working collaboratively through that process with clients. BHA opened in 2020 and we are excited to work with new clients with challenging projects and budgets. We make quick/clear sketches and 3d models available to you immediately after we rigorously define what your needs are and what options you need to see before making big decisions. New construction is great. But we can help with any phase you are currently in. The best time to bring in an architect, even if only for a consultation, is at the very beginning - much trouble and expense can be avoided that way. We will consult to define your Needs and Options for a small fee - whether or before you choose to hire us for your project.

"It wasn't timely. He hires cheap labor that does everything but isnt good at anything. The framers were hacks using broken lumber in spots. Sheetrock cracked and needed repair ( which they did) the new shower was installed without specialized mounting clips and the flange on shower walls were cracked. The shower door did not function and when I went to fix it, the hanging hardware fell off. New flooring throughout the house including the new addition. The new addition subfloor wasn't screwed correctly which resulted in a reinstall. In the old part of the house, the subfloor was not prepped properly causing the vinyl plank to bow and crack. Jim refused to fix. Jim's crew forgot to put a vent on roof so water came into house and collapsed the bathroom ceiling. ( He did take responsibility and fix that) overall very disappointed with someone that claims to do quality work. If I could rate lowerI would."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

It pays to hire a project manager or general contractor when you have a large-scale project that will take over a week to complete, especially when it involves structural changes and multiple subcontractors. This includes hiring a general contractor to build a house, add an extension, or manage other projects that need a building permit.

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

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.

Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.

While some highly experienced homeowners can frame a house independently, it is not advisable. You will need ample carpentry experience, a team of helpers, and professionals to sign off on your work to meet local building codes. For the safest outcome, we recommend buying or building a house with the guidance of professionals.
