My primary business is consulting on buildings that have construction defects that allow moisture intrusion, rot, mold, etc. I also work with builders on new buildings to assist in the sequencing and selection of products to prevent moisture intrusion, promote long-term building performance, ie., concrete curing, roof flashing, window and door installation, moisture barriers, basement waterproofing, etc.

Our mission is to provide superior service to the individual as well as home builders with attention to detail and cost-effective planning with the latest technology and energy efficient construction methods in mind.

"After checking with Steve multiple times regarding these “buildable” plans and his assurances that they were buildable and permittable, they proved to really be only a “visualization”. Cost ~$3000 to get the plans permittable in Portland OR. Nice appearance. They did mirror the stairway and mod the glazing for an additional fee. The DWG drawings that I received were poorly layered. One of my CAD op’s who tutors CAD at the local community college stated, “These drawings would not pass muster for the CC certificate”. Best take the visualization to a local certified architect and just have a professional do the rest of the drawing. Also the material list was basically useless. So, I paid about 3 times the cost and put the project off 1 year. Very frustrating experience. You’ve been warned."

Architects questions, answered by experts

Yes, floor joists are essential structural components. They support the weight of floors and everything on them, transferring loads to the foundation and walls. Properly installed joists are necessary for maintaining strength, stability, and structural integrity.

In most cases, you should get an architect before you hire a builder. An architect will be the one to draw up formal plans for your project, including guidelines and even material lists for your builder to follow during construction. Many architects can even help you find builders, choose one for your project, and negotiate prices. Some are also willing to act as project managers throughout the process, working closely with a builder from start to finish.

Above all, the downside to building a new house is a longer timeline. You need several months to finish the build, depending on the supply chain and labor availability in the meantime. Building a home compared to buying one is also more expensive, both in the building process and when it comes to mortgage rates and property taxes.

Your state’s architect licensing registry is an excellent place to begin when finding an architect. The state must license architects after completing the required education and with a minimum amount of experience. You can also ask other homeowners with similar projects who they used and their experience.

Depending on project scope, complexity, and building size, architectural services for businesses typically cost between $2,000 and $50,000. Fees can be structured as hourly rates, fixed pricing, or a percentage of total construction costs.
