Archtectual / Structural

Check out some recent projects below.

Many jurisdictions require that you submit plans to the board for approval. While requirements will differ from project to project, one constant is that it can be daunting.

Your project might involve building a new deck, expanding an existing one, or building a completely new structure. We can help you achieve your goal. We work closely with architects and engineers to ensure that all plans are safe and according to code.

Not all ideas require the same solutions. A 2D solution may work perfectly fine, but at times, a 3D structural calculation may be what fits the solution. We provide you with the plans you need and want.

Engineering and communicating those ideas is not easy. We have a close working relationship with engineers. This allows us to do the work for you. We have many years of experience and can do many things in-house. If we cannot develop a solution ourselves, we have licensed professionals who can guide and help us.

Your architectual project may not require a lot of engineering. You might just be looking to help visualize your ideas. Our experience with different tools can provide a cost effective solution for you.

Scrobot Deck

Project date:
March 2024

Existing conditions:
New contruction home, no existing deck.

Vision:
Small covered deck in front to enjoy the view and welcome guests. Partial wrap around deck in the back. With full cover against sun and rain.

Delivered concept:
150 sqft fron deck with cover and steps that allow easy acces to the home. Wrap around deck in the rear that is sitting on trench foundation on bedrock for extra stability. With just one step down and no railing the rear deck allows for full integration with the yard and bigger groups without losing the comforts of a covered deck.

Surf Beach

Project date:
February 2024

Existing conditions:
Small (less then 200sqft) uncovered deck behind the cottage without exterior stairs.

Vision:
More deckspace and a cover to be able to sit outside even when it rains.

Delivered concept:
3D design of a wrap around porch with stairs leading down. The existing deck was incorperated into the new design to save cost. The new porch adds over 300sqft of space to make full use of the sun. The added stairs allow for easy access to the spaces below for gardening and other activities.
