Energy Evaluations

Your home's energy use determines a fair amount of your monthly expenses. Let's take a look at your Energy Envelope, all of your appliances, doors, windows, and even insulation. What you use, and when you use them to help determine the best path forward in securing Energy Independence. Think of this like a doctor's physical, but instead of your body, it's your house. Efficiency is the key to being energy smart, and with our years of experience, we can help save your hard earned money while increasing your property value.

Project Development

Any construction project will likely require a fair amount of back and forth, between contractors, the building department, and the designers. Having help in organizing and putting all the different pieces of the puzzle together, allows the process to flow more smoothly and milestones to be achieved. Let us help you accomplish your goals and streamline the process, being your representative to get the project from design to a finished product you'll use for years to come.

Structural Design & Engineering

Our team can bring your vision to permit and build ready plans. With in house design and structural expertise, we can deliver a full set of plans and engineering calculations to complete the project of your specifications. We will work together to determine the proper materials, layout, and design features to create a functional shade covering, with the strength to last a lifetime. Each Design is custom to ensure we meet local building codes and requirements. With the common goal of being "solar ready" each structure we design will be able to accomodate a new Solar PV array for you to be able to generate your own electricity.
