"I had the pleasure of building two new homes with Jo Machinist in the past few years . I was looking for an architect that can put my imagination into reality . The project called for 2 homes on a horse farm, one for the horse trainer and one for the caretaker of the property . We wanted something that spoke to the style of the farm. Homes that had an interesting design and were functional to the operation. Jo hit the nail on the head so to speak. She designed the homes with style and functionality. Each house has high ceilings, open layout, with patios and porches plus mud room access which is important considering the elements the property deals with. She convinced me to upgrade all windows to larger sizes which added lots of natural light to living space. The final result upgraded the look of the property. I am very happy with the finished product and highly recommend working with her . She not only Provides the technical and architectural part of the project, in every step of the process she takes design and functionality into consideration."

"I?m Patti Phelps from Prime Estimation in Plano, Texas. We recently hired NextEdge Builders Corporation for an architectural project, and I supervised the work throughout. We first had them prepare our architectural drawings, and their output was excellent ? clear, accurate, and professionally done. After the drawings were completed, we moved ahead with a cost estimate, which turned out to be highly accurate, around 98?99%, and very reliable for our budgeting. What I appreciated most was how smoothly their drafting and estimation teams work together. Having both services under one company saved a lot of time and avoided unnecessary coordination. I confidently recommend NextEdge Builders Corporation for anyone needing dependable drafting and estimation services across Architectural, Electrical, Plumbing, and Mechanical scopes."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

No, it’s not legal for unlicensed individuals to conduct structural calculations for buildings or building repairs. Not only do licensing requirements prevent DIYers from tackling this project, but mistakes can also be extremely dangerous and put your property and anyone inside or near it at risk of severe injury or even death. You should always hire a licensed and certified local structural engineer to make structural calculations.

If you intend to do the majority of the work yourself, you can pay to hire an architect or a structural engineer to ensure your home remains structurally sound. They can help with the planning to make sure everything is up to code and safe for your family. On the other hand, if you’re not sure your home will be completely safe when you’ve completed the project, let a pro do the job.

You need to hire a structural engineer when building or modifying any component with a structural load in your home. Common situations where you would need a structural engineer include home inspections when buying or selling a home, investigating possible issues with your foundation, beams, load-bearing walls, or chimneys, breaking ground on a new home or structure on your property, and renovating an old part of your home that could threaten any structural integrity. Home additions and bump-outs also require an engineer.

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.
