"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me.  Overall, they're good designs.  However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning.  I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.  
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question.  I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done.  If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.

I've been around home building, remodeling, and repair since I was old enough to climb onto a roof. I started by roofing with my father as a teenager and worked my way up to running my own business. I've built three 2000+ square foot custom homes and a 40'x60' shop with my father general contracting. I have been running my own independent contracting business for four years now. I've remodeled everything from entire 2000+ square foot office buildings down to closets and understand the ins and outs of material pricing, code requirements, and aesthetic appeal. I have vast experience and specialize in concrete, framing, sheeting, drywall, finish work. I even have experience with decking, fencing, sone veneer, and pond instalment. I especially enjoy custom tile work, kitchen/bath remodels, family room remodels, and pond instalments. You can expect timeliness, fair prices, and attention to detail when going through me.

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

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

One of the most common house framing basics for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.
