"Vista started in what seemed like a very organized matter, but communication started failing throughout the project. Our sales person was let go early on and our initial bid was far too unclear, so we had to rework expectations and ESPECIALLY unrealistic time frames with our construction manager. He also left the project before the end of the work. Overall the work quality was OK, but communications and timeliness were a real issue throughout. I found the guys that were onsite to be friendly and accommodating, but the process - which seemed so organized - got very chaotic at the end and we were just glad for it to be over. There were weeks when we'd hope to get answers on dates and it was hard to get them, and multiple times we were told the day of an expected service visit, that they'd be delayed a week. These guys are certainly NOT crooks and can do decent work, but seems like they need to revisit their structure and how much they take on. I suspect these guys are best at the sun-rooms they promote more than other home work."

"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"

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Yes. Foundation walls are always load-bearing.

Proper licensing and experience in residential and commercial structural projects.

Through detailed analysis of load paths, materials, and existing damages.

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.

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.
