"Neil was thoughtful and took his time to look at everything we wanted to show him. As he looked around he also made verbal suggestions on things that needed to be fixed that was not necessarily a part of the structure of the house, but to be safe; that was appreciated."

"They were excellent. They quickly made a draft that only needed 3 minor adjustments. The final product was exactly what I needed. They referred me to a structural engineer for review. The whole process took half of the time that they initially estimated. I would definitely use them again."

High end architect specializing in making a house feel like home!\nI make people’s dream homes a reality. There is nothing more satisfying to me then improving the quality of life for my clients and giving them a house that they are able to make into their homes.\nI have been a licensed architect since 2015 and am currently registered in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Maine and Massachusetts. With my NCARB certificate I am able, if necessary, to obtain reciprocal licensure throughout the country in a short time period. \n\nI am inspired by our local built environment, humble materials, classical building forms and traditional building details. I have a strong interest in the reinterpretation of classical building forms, blended with contemporary open floor plans. \nI have a stronger interest in helping to guide my clients to ways of improving the quality of their lives through adapting the built environment to meet their needs.

"I?m Edison Matteo from Sunshine Estimation, based in Erie, PA. We worked with NextEdge Builders Corp for our architectural project, and I personally managed the entire process from start to finish. Initially, I had them prepare detailed CAD drawings for our project, and the quality and accuracy of these drawings impressed me immediately. Once the drawings were completed, I requested a cost estimate based directly on them. The estimate provided was extremely precise, with an accuracy of around 98?99%, which gave me great confidence in planning our budget and moving forward. What sets NextEdge Builders Corp apart is that everything is handled under one roof. From drafting to estimation, the process is seamless, reducing the need for constant revisions or coordinating multiple service providers. Their communication, professionalism, and attention to detail truly stand out. I highly recommend NextEdge Builders Corp for anyone looking for reliable and accurate drafting and estimation se"

Customers say: Quick response

"Our experience with Preservation Design Group was first rate all the way. From start to finish, the architect was responsive, attentive, creative and professional. We were impressed by Dan Koplowitz's attention to detail and willingness to listen to what we wanted to achieve with the project, which added over 1500 square feet, relocated bathrooms and renovated and enlarged the kitchen. Dan worked diligently to meld the exisiting house with the new and provided plans that our town approved without requiring modifications and the building dept. is quite strict. The builder Dan recommended was excellent and they worked well as a team."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes, all states require structural engineers to carry the proper license, with specifics determined by each state. You can use Angi’s state licensing tool to confirm that the structural engineer you’re considering holds the required licensing to tackle your job. Hiring an unlicensed structural engineer will not only cause issues with permits but it could also lead to an unsafe building. The cost of a professional, licensed, and experienced engineer is well worth the investment.

It's safe to assume that all exterior walls are load-bearing, or at least have load-bearing characteristics. Some older homes feature porches or bump-outs that don't rest on the home's foundation. However, they still must carry the weight of the roof section they support. Walls containing floor-to-ceiling glass or other non-structural elements must use post and beam configurations to meet load-bearing criteria.

Stone, marble, and brick are common building materials of Neoclassical architecture, though you will also find wood flooring and a range of natural stone tiles. Since several home styles fall under Neoclassical architects' umbrella, a range of building materials—including traditional wood framing—will make an appearance.

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.

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.
