Custom Home Plans at Catalog Prices

Our design team will work with you to create the plans for your customized home with special features that fit your life style.

Working drawings, elevations, cross sections, and a 3D rendering of your home will be provided.  An itemized list of each construction material can be provided and cost adjusted based on local contractors or your material preference.  The material list can be used to provide an opinion of probable construction cost and construction schedule.

Quality Control of Construction
Periodic Construction Inspection can be provided to insure your home is constructed to the highest standard and according to the plans and specifications.

Civil Engineering: Site Development requires strategic coordination of many regulatory and non-regulatory interests. During this process, issues such as suitability for the intended use, integration with existing site features, and impact on the environment need to be considered.

Whether you are planning a single family residence or a subdivision, we are prepared to assist you with the planning and implementation of your project in a manner that will minimize overall cost, development time, and environmental impact, while maximizing the potential of your property.

Geotechnical Engineering: What is under a piece of property can be as important as what is on the surface.  Geotechnical engineering characterizes the properties of earth materials and predicts the reaction to loading conditions.

Whole House Systems Approach: Designing and constructing an energy-efficient house requires careful planning and attention to details. A whole-house systems approach can help develop a successful strategy for incorporating energy efficiency into your home's design.  A whole-house systems approach considers the interaction between you, your building site, your climate, and these other elements or components of your home:

• Appliances and home electronics
• Insulation and air sealing
• Lighting and day lighting
• Space heating and cooling
• Water heating
• Windows, Doors, and Skylights

Using this approach recognizes that the features of one component in the house can greatly affect other components, which ultimately affects the overall energy efficiency of the house.  These are some benefits of using a whole-house systems approach:

• Reduced utility and maintenance costs
• Increased comfort
• Reduced noise
• Healthier and safer indoor environment
• Improved building durability

You can use the whole-house systems approach with any home design. Using this approach, you also might consider the benefits of designing a home that generates its own electricity.

Quality assurance is attained through involvement in the three phases of a project:

• Conception - Scope and Planning
• Preparation of Construction Documents
• Construction - Implementation

Architectural Services: Feasibility Studies, Facilities Planning, Building & Site Evaluation, Historic Rehabilitation, Adaptive Reuse, Architectural Design, Accessibility Design, Bidding Evaluation, Interior Design, Historic Preservation, Bid Documents, Restoration, Construction Documents, Code Analysis, Post Occupancy Evaluations Space Planning, Construction Administration 
 
Our team has provided these services on projects that range from less than 1,000 square feet to more than 100,000 square feet.  

Structural Engineering balances serviceability, economy, and safety with the design and function of a structure. 

Today’s homes require large open spaces and details that address the design.  In addition state law requires homes that are sealed by a Professional.  Homes constructed with concrete, steel, timber, and masonry require a higher level of expertise in their design and detailing to properly connect different materials for a service free life of the structure.

We take pride in the quality of our work and recognize the importance of clarity in our design / contract documents. We achieve high quality work by incorporating quality assurance measures from inception through completion of a project, and place an emphasis on clear communication and thorough documentation.  In addition, the staff has a deep commitment to working closely with its clients to achieve the best possible results on every project.
