"We hired Bitarchitects for a major renovation of our home and were extremely pleased with the experience. It was a substantial investment, and we valued the architects' expertise and guidance throughout the project. From the beginning, we had the opportunity to speak with several professionals, hear different perspectives, and make informed decisions. We worked closely with the architectural and design teams, followed by the structural and mechanical engineers, before moving into permitting. Although permitting presented some challenges, the team remained engaged and continued working with us until we successfully completed the process. Bitarchitects then helped us navigate construction and coordinate the different contractors, subcontractors, and agreements involved. Having one integrated team guide us step by step made a complex project much more manageable. We appreciated their knowledge, persistence, and continued support, and we highly recommend Bitarchitects."

"Evolution design worked with me on designing and addition for a 100 and 5 year old house. We worked on the dimensions of the addition Plus the materials. Evolution understood the local zoning which was amazing that they knew that. We have not started construction. And evolution can help pull the permits and I'm considering them for that as well. All in all it was a long project but it was done efficiently, working with several of the staff an the departments."

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

Proper licensing and experience in residential and commercial structural projects.

No, squeaky floors do not always mean there is structural damage. The noise is often caused by friction from issues like loose floorboards, gaps between the subfloor and joists, or loose subflooring. While many squeaks are harmless, persistent or worsening noise could indicate a more severe problem. If you notice other signs of structural damage—such as soft or sagging floors, cracks running from the wall to the ceiling, or horizontal cracks in your foundation—it's best to have a professional inspect your floor to determine the root cause.

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.
