"We had a home inspection that pointed out a lot of electrical issues that needed addressed asap. I call Jake’s company and he made our home a priority and was very professional. My contractor was so impressed with him that he even started using him. The work was done on time and was done very well. Plus, the price charged was very reasonable-which is hard to find for an electrician these days. Highly recommended."

"Provider was suppose to return and finish laying sand on the patio. Since job was very close to complete, I paid him rather than wait. I never heard from him again. The sand has since washed out in spots and another provider is correcting the situation with polymeric sand. Other than the sand issue, the patio looks good in the way it is laid out. Provider was punctual, and the project went very fast considering it was in the middle of the winter.

"When we came close to the completion of our new build I remember feeling daunted at the thought of furniture placement especially with our front entrance, dinning room and family room as they were all connected with no division, very open concept. After moving in, we were overwhelmed with where to start. We contacted Valerie to assist us in making our house a home. Valerie has an eye for detail and a passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces. She created design boards that reflected a blend of mine and my husband's styles. She really listens to her clients’ needs and preferences. We worked with her to pick out pieces that fit our space and budget. She will go above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction, and she is always available to answer questions and address any concerns. It was a pleasure working with Valerie and her company, Brexton Cole Interiors. She is committed to quality and customer service. We highly recommend Valerie!"

"I was really under the gun due to a prior Architectural firm not performing their duties per building plan codes. Not only were the plans incomplete but the City Plan Reviewer states(The Worst plans he’s ever seen) they will not make adjustments unless there is an additional charge for Thousands. Evaluation’s saved my clients and drew our project per code, along with Engineering in less time then they quoted. I highly recommended them, Especially Kirsten. You went above and beyond trying to coordinate this project. The staff was very professional and I will use them on all my projects. Sincerely, Frank B BCM Builders"

Our sustainable architectural services support clients that are moved by their physical and emotional surroundings and seek affordable and honest expressions of their needs. The design process seeks to push the envelope of enclosure using the tools of practical forces to create aesthetic solutions suitable for today and tomorrow's inhabitants. Each project seeks dynamic interaction with its surroundings while expressing the integrity of its construction and materials. Generally, we strive to create simple, well-articulated forms that have an enduring meaning with materials that provide lasting value and low maintenance. Each integrated, holistic design solution seeks to unify the design interests of the client to find the sweetness of life merged with their changing lifestyle.\n\n We explore together spatial alignments that benefit from established site views and provide designs that benefit from natural day lighting, natural ventilation, grid-tied solar energy, geothermal heating or cooling systems and reuse of stored grey water for site irrigation. In this context, each project compliments the surrounding community's built expressions and adapts to the technological advances that are leading our culture towards an electronically connected network of balanced living and working conditions for family growth.\n\nOn this Web site you will discover innovative designed homes of remarkable strength, economy, and beauty, brought to life by a distinct architecture combined with a source of pollution-free energy. Each built-in biosphere, in gradual but constant motion, draws energy from the sun, and /or geothermal stability from the ground, creating a temperate climate that supports the primary living spaces. These holistic design expressions below represent some of the project solutions for our clients.\n\n

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

A construction manager is particularly useful in the case of a large-scale build with custom design elements, so it’s usually worth it to hire one. They can help manage your budget, maintain quality control, oversee timelines, and navigate unexpected hurdles. While construction managers are pricey, they can actually save money in the long run by identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring the project stays within budget.

Cathedral ceilings make a statement in your home, but at the cost of your attic space. Normal attics are wide open, which allows warm air to move around and exit your home. Because of this, cathedral ceilings make your home less energy efficient and put your ceiling at risk of venting issues if you’re not careful. They also reduce your attic storage space, potentially cause an echo, and even make it harder to change a light bulb.

In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.

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

Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they’re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them.
