I have been a licensed architect since 1988, practicing in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In 2005, I launched my own firm with emphasis on single family and multi-family residential design, commercial building design and fit-out and institutional design for public entities with a focus on administrative and justice projects. I have a wide and deep range of experience with residential, commercial and institutional clients. I work well with clients, developers, builders and construction managers. I understand the process and value of the primary project delivery methods including design-bid-build and design-build. Stylistically, my philosophy is to fit in with the local style, while maintaining integrity and fluidity of design. Architectural heroes: Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Kahn, Frank Furness, Henry Hobson Richardson.

"David was professional, gave excellent recommendations and was a true pleasure to work with. Really willing to work with us on getting our project finalized and approved and was easy to reach with any questions or changes. Defintely recommend!"

Beyond Compare specializes in additions, kitchens, bathrooms, basements, decks and general remodeling. We are licensed and fully-insured. Our owner, Robert Lanfrank, has been in the home improvement industry for more than 27 years. We pride ourselves on our high-quality work and our attention to detail and cleanliness.

"We hired this company in the summer of 2021 to start work 10/25/2021. We found out in the process that the owner is not familiar with construction at all. His hired project managers and subcontractors were clearly incompetent. Work included an approximate 850 sq. ft addition on our home. There were so many things that went wrong, it’s difficult to list it all. To begin, work did not commence until 3/2022. The owner of this company hires subcontractors who have proved to be unprofessional and provide sub-standard work. Just a few to mention: After pouring concrete foundation, plumber had to drill through concrete to install plumbing for addition. The electrical, sheathing and framing inspections failed multiple times. The plumbing inspection failed because paperwork was not properly filed by the company. The initial framer was fired and we were never notified of new subcontractor. The concrete floor is three inches higher than it should be, resulting in us losing three inches of ceiling height. This problem was never been rectified. The concrete pad outside the sliding door had to be removed due to improper installation. Also, the drain in the pad was installed incorrectly. Has never been rectified by the subcontractor. The NEW contractor we have retained to complete the work has also noticed several issues: • There is a leak in the roof over the living/kitchen area from the deck above that will need to be addressed and rectified. (See pics) • The ceiling joists were cut down from 8 inches, as per the proof plans, to 6 inches and now need to be reviewed by the architect and structural engineer to determine what is the best remedial course of action. • Stairs off the deck will not pass inspection due to the risers being too high, contrary to code. The last straw was when he texted asking for more money for work to commence prior to due date because he had run out of funds. We ultimately fired him and hired another company. This is just a small look into what we have dealt with. All we can hope to educate the public to not use this company."

We are a full service architectural practice, in business since March 1987. I maintain my license in NJ and PA continually and have also worked in NY, VA, FL, and DE. Our work is largely residential although our commercial and institutional projects include a couple of Harley-Davidson dealerships, numerous offices, retail, manufacturing, and religious use buildings. We are equally efficient with small projects as well as large ones.

"It was very good. They did the job. It was perfect."

Custom Home Builders questions, answered by experts

While many different factors determine whether a house is classified as a villa, many villas are detached homes with a European design influence, often with an emphasis on luxury and comfort. Modern villas often feature outdoor spaces such as terraces, gardens, or patios.

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.

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.

A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there’s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.

It is almost always more affordable to buy an existing home than to build one from scratch. First of all, new construction mortgage interest rates are often higher than traditional loans. Also, when building a home, you're covering the cost of brand-new finishes, appliances, electrics, plumbing, utility hookups, and labor. Between the cost of labor and permits, building a home will often cost more in the long run.
