"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"

Shenandoah Design is a residential design firm specializing in quality custom designs to meet our clients' needs. \n\nAt the heart of Shenandoah Design is attention to detail and a passion for fine craftsmanship, both old and new. Whether an historic renovation, a sensitive modern addition or new construction, we want our designs to be user-friendly and enjoyed for years to come. It's our belief that good design translates to the best investment of your time and money. \n\nShenandoah Design is owned and operated by Gerald Forsburg, principal designer. Gerald has a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from the Catholic University of America.

This experience has proven to be invaluable for our clients: having an excellent understanding of the public process saves tons of time and money by lessening the need for revision after revision to please public officials, and by providing stronger negotiations at the start of a project. \n\nGerald won the Catholic University of America School of Architecture's "Place for an Object" design competition in 1995, the winning entry of which is to be built on campus. \n\nWhatever your design needs are, Shenandoah Design would love the opportunity to provide you, the client, with the choices to make informed decisions, and work together to build your dreams.\n\n\n \n

Structural Engineering questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on material choices, labor, and the extent of structural modifications.

Generally, you can tell if a home is bolted to the foundation by checking the foundation for plates. If you see that your foundational plates connect to wood or bolts protruding from them, this means that you have a bolted foundation. However, it's always wise to bring a home inspector in to confirm if your foundation is secure.

Whether you’re building a new home or building an extension on your existing property, you will likely need both a structural engineer and an architect. A structural engineer will determine what loads your foundation and framing can safely handle, and an architect will draw plans according to those structural calculations to simplify the building process. You can start by contacting a structural engineer near you, as many work alongside architects and can get all of the prep work done at once.

The early stages of building a house are harder than the later stages; laying the foundation and framing the house are two of the most challenging steps. However, it varies for everyone. Some people have difficulty installing HVAC, plumbing, and electricity, while others find it harder to plan the house and secure the necessary permits. 

According to the Earthquake Country Alliance—a public and private alliance in California that works to improve earthquake and tsunami readiness—reports that unreinforced masonry, such as stone, bricks, and hollow clay tiles, is more susceptible to earthquake damage. The mortar between bricks isn’t as stable as other building materials and methods.
