Customers say: Super punctual

"Dave was absolutely great to work with. This is the first time for us to build a house. We met with Dave at our lot, which has quite a challenging slope, and immediately liked him. We gave him an idea of what kind of house we wanted and he ran with it. He has great ideas and imagination when starting from scratch. He was very patient with us as we made changes to the original plans. Even more important, he was straightforward when an idea of ours just couldn’t work and he explained why in layman’s terms. Likewise, he was forthright when comparing different ideas with cost in mind. When it was all said and done, we got fantastic plans for the exact house we wanted and we are very excited to see it completed. His price was very reasonable and more cost effective than a couple other designers we checked with. We HIGHLY recommend Dave O’Brien to anyone wanting to design/build a custom home."

"The structural engineers at Evergreen Structures that talked to me and performed an analysis of my home near downtown Dallas were great to talk to and great to work with. They performed a thorough analysis and produced an excellent report. I highly recommend them."

"We have used Simonson Design as we went through an earlier design phase several years ago on our yet-to-be built new home, which we put on the back burner for several years. Presently, with a new design approach, we have "reset" the project back to the start and are excited to have the Simonson Design team once again by our side as our dream home design and plans come to fruition. We regularly recommend Simonson Design to others that are about to build but don't know where to start."

At Element Haus, design begins with intention. We create spaces that feel as good as they look- timeless, personal and refined.\n\nFounded by a team of architects, designers, and craftsmen who share deep passion for modern living, Element Haus was born out of desire to redefine what “home” means. We saw too many houses that looked impressive but lacked soul; and too many custom builds that compromised on design or build quality. So we set out to do it differently: to fuse architecture, interiors and construction into one seamless experience, where design and build are integrated from start.

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.

On average, 6 inches of concrete can hold around 150 pounds per square foot, but the exact weight that 6 inches of concrete can hold depends on factors such as the type of concrete, the reinforcement method, soil conditions below, and structural design. If you’re concerned about the longevity of your concrete patio, walkway, or driveway, hire a professional to help you choose an appropriate concrete thickness and reinforcement method for your needs.

The process of hiring a structural engineer starts by finding reliable professionals in your area and comparing quotes from at least three of them. From there, you can narrow down your selection by asking some leading questions:

  • Do you have experience working in my specific area?

  • Do you have professional indemnity insurance?

  • What will your structural report cover?

  • Do you charge a flat fee for a structural report or by the hour?

  • How long have you been in business?

  • Do you have a list of customer references?

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.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.
