"If your looking for an architect, just stop here. This was my first time ever hiring an architect and the experience has been educational, professional, and most importantly secured. He went to bat for my business and hit a home run. Very informative, gave updates on the work being done. He went above and beyond with what he has to do as he helped me locate several contractors. I would stop here, and roll with Lynn."
"I couldn't have asked for more! Mr. Gerhart was professional, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. He set my mind at ease when I thought my 94 year old house was no longer structurally sound. Although my old house is pretty rough, he showed me that I can tackle each issue one at a time. After all the expenditures I have made for my home up until this point, I was very happy that Gerhart Engineering charged me a reasonable price. I see my home situation in a much different light now. Many thanks to Mr. Gerhart."
Yes, integrating sustainable practices and energy efficiency into plans is common.
When planning a new build, meet with an architect as your first step. Architects will often work with specific contractors and can ensure the contractor on your project is qualified and experienced to handle your build. Both the architect and the contractor should be involved with the project from the early stages, but the process may be smoother when you start with an architect.
The design phase varies by project size and complexity; initial ideas can take weeks, while extensive plans may extend to months for complete detailing.
A structural engineer's report provides a professional assessment of a property's structural condition. It typically includes an evaluation of the foundation, key structural elements like roof trusses, floor joists, studs, beams, and rafters. The report will also contain a detailed description of the engineer's findings, often supported by photographs, and provide recommendations to correct any identified issues. Depending on the scope of the inspection, it might also include an assessment of property drainage, potential issues from environmental conditions like extreme weather or tree placement, and an estimated time and cost for any recommended repairs.
The process typically takes 2-6 weeks, depending on the project size and level of customization.
