It might be gloomy and overcast but it's a happy day seeing the foundation set for a Marshall Fire victim, ready to get out of the ground with @bluespruceconstruction

Cut a building in half to give it a modern face lift with @hmh_ai

Side note: this is definitely the preferred way to obtain the existing truss design, way better than belly crawling through loose insulation and cobwebs!

Big views need big windows need tall walls need fancy structure! So excited to see this project coming together!! @eastslopeindustries @bykrueger

Meeting of the minds! We always love a good collab to kick a project off!

Still in the framing process but on its way to greatness!! @elton_r_construction is bringing this remodel to life at record speed!

Seize the moment with a steel beam to post connection!

With our high wind loads and an open concept architectural design we find ourselves relying more and more on our steel frames to keep our homes standing during high wind events, two different t

Half the company ski trip today! Taking a little time between crushing structural design to shred some Eldora slopes!

Structure is Sexy! It's always apparent within 30 seconds of showing up to a site if the framing crew but care into their work. @faurotconstruction and their crew knocked it out of the park with this garage extension. (Pictured is an existing prescri

Cross section of a 4" CMU wall construction with ~4" masonry brick veneer, you can see the 2x joists let into the 4" CMU wall, this Chautauqua home was built around 1950 and is getting a nice update from @factor_designbuild

Happy Holidays!! We took a look back on all the projects we got to work on in Boulder County this last year, and are so grateful for all the amazing architects, contractors, skill labor, and owners that we got to work with over this year. We are look

Breaking from right angles always feels weird in design but it was the best method to get this double cantilever lower roof, love how this came together!

Are all non-load bearing walls non-structural??

No!

Interior walls can be designed to be a part of the main wind force resistance system of the house and removal of a laterally braced wall may cause your house to sway with the wind!!!! 💨💨 😱😱 Ch

Plowing through the first snow of the year to keep this project moving! Classic Colorado fall weather to inspect footings while sweating and foundation walls while clearing snow off forms ❄️❄️❄️

Excited to start working through construction with @hammerwell_inc , should be a fun and interesting remodel!!

Throw back to a house we tucked into the hillside with @caddiscollaborative, amazing design on the house and so glad we got to work with them on this project!

Starting a new build with some stout retaining walls! Excited to see this house leave the page and become real!

Tying in new to old for this addition, mixing masonry with wood framing, new foundation to old, and making it seamless, tricky on the engineering but even more so on the masons, framers, finishers! Excited to see this come together!

New split level add on, good design starts with a good foundation!
