Contractors who draw their own plans may want a structural review or code-compliant wall bracing plan. Even when employing an architect, it is often helpful to have a second opinion. We can also meet with subcontractors like insulators, plumbers, framers, etc., to provide input into simple strategies to improve their product with an emphasis on owner comfort and convenience while not sacrificing cost. The ever-changing energy code requirements are tough to stay on top of. We can offer insights and methods to make this much simpler and more cost-effective.
