Who we are: a group of architectural engineers and design build experts who want to help you build smarter. What we do: We help you make sure your new home build or important renovation will be done in the best way for your budget and personality. We'll help you think about how beauty intersects with function so that you can happily and comfortably live in a home that fits your unique needs. Why we do it: It's too easy to assume you're stuck between an inexpensive cookie cutter modular home or a bank-breaking custom build. ADA renovations? Forget about it! But this isn't true. Our team cares about the future of affordable living, and together we can make it happen.

"WARNING: DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! We hired Building Data Labs for drawings for a separate entry way into an upstairs room of a customer's home. The original plan was to make stairs on the outside of the home as the separate entry way however was told by BDL that this would trigger codes and it would be a nightmare to be approved by the town which now come to find out wasn't true at all according to the town, inspector, and contractor. They drew us new plans going on the inside of the garage. This took over 4 months and we paid them in full on site which included the architectural stamp. A total of $2000. When we FINALLY received the plans there was no stamp and the plans said "not for construction use". So we reached out to them and they asked for more information regarding the house. WE ALREADY PAID THEM TO GET ALL THE INFORMATION. We finally got the plans and were given a permit from the town and followed the plans. THE PLANS FAILED INSPECTION. I requested a refund since the plans are rendered basically unusable and we spent time following these plans with labor costs and materials and was told no by Sharan Muthalyalil because they have already done the "professional work" which I contacted the actual license engineer who stamped the plans to ask why he would stamp them and he said he didn't know these people and never stamped these plans. HUGE RED FLAG. Erin Horanzy the initial contact we dealt with is virtually impossible to contact and apparently traveling a lot according to Sharan. So at this point we have useless plans and wasted a total of 6+ months with this company. DO NOT HIRE THEM. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS COMPANY. We are in the process of taking legal action."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.

Although the two terms are closely related and often used interchangeably, pier and beam foundations and crawl spaces are different things. A pier and beam foundation is made up of concrete piers and wooden beams and creates a space under the home known as a crawl space. There are several types of foundations that create crawl spaces, often collectively known as “crawl space foundations,” but the crawl space itself is separate from the foundation. 

You should pick steel for your new support beam for a few reasons. While steel is more expensive than other materials, such as laminated veneer lumber or glulam, it offers the following benefits:

  • Fire-resistant

  • Unaffected by pests

  • Longer-lasting

  • Stronger against water damage (when galvanized against rust)

The essential difference between an architect and an engineer is that architects typically focus more on the aesthetic design of buildings, although not without consideration for the structural integrity of the building. Engineers focus more on the structural, technical, and practical aspects of whether and how an architectural design can be built as drawn. You may need to hire both types of professionals if you’re designing and building a new home.

If you’re building new construction or adding onto your existing home, hiring a structural engineer is not only worth it but it’s probably required by your local building department. Structural engineers will ensure you aren’t making your home unsafe in the building process, which is crucial from a safety perspective but also a legal one. It’s also worth hiring a structural engineer if you’re making changes to structural components, like removing a load-bearing wall.
