Customers say: Super punctual

"We started working with Mr. O'Brien a few weeks backs for our first custom home building project. Working with the Mr. O'Brien is an absolute pleasure for so many reasons: His experience is unparalleled, he has an abundance of patience, he is highly professional and quickly developed a shared vision for the project with us. He listened to our ideas and worked on them develop a coherent design for the house to the vision we had in mind. We went through a few versions but Mr. O'Brien worked very efficiently through the process and in turning the drafts around. We were given personal attention and value the input and experience that has helped shape our end product. Thank you for all that you have done for us. You were the Big Starting block ")."

"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."

"Mario did an excellent job making a pier and beam foundation for my future home. He replied quick (during the holidays as well), and was very communicative. He worked around my budget without any issues. After many attempts of looking for someone to do this for my new home, Mario was the right man for the job. Would definitely call him again for any future projects."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

In many areas, advice from a structural engineer or an architect will be required by your building department before you can remove a wall, but even if it’s not necessary, it’s a good idea. Accidentally removing a load-bearing wall—even if a general contractor advises that it’s safe—can cause major structural damage, putting you and your family at risk and potentially costing thousands or tens of thousands of dollars in property damage.

By careful planning and reinforcement to maintain structural integrity.

The process involves initial consultation, concept development, detailed planning, regulatory approvals, and integration of contractor work for project execution.

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.

You need to hire a structural engineer when building or modifying any component with a structural load in your home. Common situations where you would need a structural engineer include home inspections when buying or selling a home, investigating possible issues with your foundation, beams, load-bearing walls, or chimneys, breaking ground on a new home or structure on your property, and renovating an old part of your home that could threaten any structural integrity. Home additions and bump-outs also require an engineer.
