"Brian is a brilliant Architect. He drew up plans for a custom home. He is an old school kind of guy and very personable. I gave him the size of lot and provided a few photographs of houses we liked. We told him of our ideas and he implemented it and put it on paper. While driving I found a cute house, I stopped and took a picture. The owners were outside and I told them I thought they had a great house. They asked if I wanted to see the inside and they told me what they would have changed if they could. There was a lot of open space in the home. I showed Brian, we thought we can make it a loft or enclose it and turn into a master bedroom. There was a porch in front and in back, we did not need two. Brian said, lets remove one and bump out the kitchen. He had very reasonable ideas and sent us the drawings. We went back and forth a few times with our ideas. He would say, this looks brilliant but impractical. Brian made repeated adjustments and design changes; he was very patient throughout. He provided reasonable pricing, great value and amazing aesthetic. Then he sent the design that works. He made himself available throughout construction. If I called with questions, he answered the phone, even on Saturday. With all the changes we made, we would not have changed a thing. We love our house and are living in our dream home. We would hire him again in a heart beat with no hesitation."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

It depends on the bank and the extent of the issue. Some banks will lend against homes with minor foundation damage, but most won’t if the issue is structural since the home acts as collateral for the mortgage. Banks that offer renovation loans might still finance a home with structural problems. More minor issues like settling cracks and intermittent problems with humidity are unlikely to stop a bank from financing.

Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.

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.

Signs of structural damage include foundation cracks, roof leaks, bouncy floors, crumbling concrete, and cracked or leaning chimneys. Structural damage can make itself apparent in various ways, and sometimes, there may not be obvious signs. Inspect your foundation and roof annually to stay ahead of potentially serious structural problems.
