"I am having a full master bath and kitchen remodel done with new layouts in both rooms and knocking out a wall. Evolution worked with me to quickly get a drawing done of the new layouts so that the contractor could get started on the project. They made sure to include me in the process so that the design would be done exactly as my wife and I envisioned. They communicated effectively throughout the process and were always courteous and professional. I recommend them to anyone with drafting needs."

"I wish everyone could build a new home in NMB/SC so they could share our experience with Tidewater Builders, Inc. Our mission was to find an architect, and a home builder to redesign the house plans we purchased for our home in North Myrlte Beach, SC.We live in NJ and planned on interviewing at least 3 architects and builders. After we met Bret Broadwater, Pres.of Tidewater Builders, Inc. we looked no further. He was very professional with a great sense of humor. He actually cared about us. He made suggestions that we would never have thought of to save us money.One of the many things he suggested was going with 12' ceilings instead of the 13' He had many more suggestions as well. He loves what he does and it shows. Mary-Patricia Broadwater was our interior designer She drove us all over making selections for the new home, and at the same time keeping us with in our budget, with beautiful choices. TBI was a pleasure to do business with and they have our blessing to show our home to any future clients. We are very fortunate to have found them. They made the process stress free from 600+miles away."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The depth of any foundation style depends on your climate and how deep the frost line is, as building code requires that the footers of a foundation—which are built into a monolithic slab—sit at least a foot below the frost line. At the southern tip of Florida, for example, a monolithic slab foundation would only need to sit 12 inches under the soil at the widest parts. On some parts of the Canadian border, the frost line is 100 inches, which would mean a minimum of 112 inches, which is prohibitively deep for a monolithic slab.

You should pick steel for your new support beam for a few reasons. While steel is more expensive than other materials, such as laminated veneer lumber or glulam, it offers the following benefits:

  • Fire-resistant

  • Unaffected by pests

  • Longer-lasting

  • Stronger against water damage (when galvanized against rust)

It is not recommended to cut or drill into LVL (laminated veneer lumber) beams. As major structural components of a home, their composite structure can be compromised by alterations, which can weaken them and lead to cracking over time. If you must make modifications to an LVL beam, it is crucial to consult a structural engineer or general contractor first. A professional can advise on whether it's safe and provide specifics on the appropriate bit size, depth, and directionality for any necessary drilling.

The costs depend on the type of wood, labor, roofing material, permits, and whether additional storage or enclosed walls are included.

While concrete walls do not need to "breathe" in the traditional sense of the word, they do require waterproofing and dehumidifying methods, particularly in basements below the water table. Concrete both contains moisture from its initial installation and can absorb water when exposed. Ensuring proper basement ventilation , installing a vapor barrier, and controlling water exposure are all important tasks.
