"We got AFM from Angie's list and are very happy that we found him. Anthony was professional and obviously knowledgeable. He assessed the problem and made very reasonable recommendations for a reasonable price. If we need an engineer or house inspector again, he will be our first call."

"Evan was great to work with! He is very responsive, kind, knowledgeable and professional. He was quick to get our work done (drawings for a permit request for a fence) and very communicative the entire time. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an architect for their home projects."

"Working with Esther and my account manager, Martha, was a real pleasure. Our informative conversations never felt rushed, and replies ro my emails were thoughtful and comprehensive--If occasionally somewhat delayed. The professional co-op set allowed my project to breeze through board approval. Highly recommend!"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

While concrete walls do not need to "breathe" in the traditional sense of the word, they do require waterproofing and dehumidifying methods, particularly in basements below the water table. Concrete both contains moisture from its initial installation and can absorb water when exposed. Ensuring proper basement ventilation , installing a vapor barrier, and controlling water exposure are all important tasks.

The process involves initial consultation, concept development, detailed planning, regulatory approvals, and integration of contractor work for project execution.

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.

Yes, you can build over a stump if the roots are no longer alive. Living roots will continue to grow and may damage your new construction over time. Similarly, you should also remove rotting stumps because they may continue to attract pests and even cause new structures (especially those made from wood) to decompose as well.

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.
