"Our experience with low country construction was outstanding. Tex answered our phone call immediately and came to our home to check on exactly what we wanted. We received a quote right away. Kyle was in charge of the actual construction. He was dependable and finished the project on time. Kyle did an excellent job. We were very pleased and would definitely recommend Low Country construction."

"AMAZING!! This was my first experience with remodeling and I don't think it could have gone any better - the process was truly seamless! Sabrea and her team did a fantastic job getting all the material ordered and contractors lined up that the project (full kitchen, master and guest bath) was done in just 3 weeks! Sabrea also really took the time to listen to what I wanted and present me with many different options and layouts which I truly appreciated!! It took my breath away when I first walked in and saw the finished product. I can't say enough good things about this company. Definitely give them a try!"

Architects FAQs, answered by experts

The country's most famous Neoclassical architecture appears in major government buildings and college campuses. The White House is unmistakably the most famous example, though the Capitol Building and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello are also iconic uses of the design.

The best way to start designing a house is to know what you want before designing. Making a list of your biggest priorities in a home will help. Designing a house without an idea of what you need or want in a home will lead to many trials and errors that could make it harder to figure out what you need in your design.

Blueprints are generally available for houses built after the early 1900s. Before then, detailed building schematics like blueprints were rarely used and even more rarely saved. If you have an older house and need blueprints, you can have a new set drawn up by an architect or draftsperson.

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.

Costs vary depending on project complexity and scope. Architects generally charge a percentage of the total budget or an hourly rate for their services.
