Even the simplest new home is too complicated to be built without plans. Deciding who will prepare these plans, like the choice of a construction contractor, is important to the success of the project. Who should design your project? "Should a "Designer" or "Design Professional" Design Your Home?" #residential #buildings #design #homeowners #construction #engineering #architecture

Soft soils can trigger earthquake-resistant design provisions for residential construction in areas of moderate seismicity such as central New Hampshire, the Champlain Valley and New York City. These design provisions can add significant cost. Engineering analysis following a geotechnical investigation can reduce the cost of earthquake-resistant construction. #earthquake #resilience #residential #structuralengineering #geotechnicalengineering #design #construction #riskmanagement #naturaldisasters #newhampshire #newyorkcity #champlainvalley

In structural applications, using the right fasteners, in the correct quantities and installed correctly, is crucial to performance and indeed the safety of a structure. Unfortunately, this is not well understood by homeowners and even some contractors. #residential #construction #design #structuralengineering #codes #buildings #homeowners #contractors

Cracks, settlement, moisture stains and a variety of other damage and distress conditions can be indicators of a larger problem. A structural engineer can apply an understanding of the physical behavior of the distressed system and will be more likely to be able to find the root cause. RJD Residential can investigate a variety of conditions. #engineering #structuralengineering #forensicengineering #residential #design #construction #homeowners

Cracks in basement walls and floors are among the most commonly found types of structural distress in buildings, especially houses. To understand why cracks form, you must first understand that structures and their components move. #residential #buildings #forensicengineering #structuralengineering #geotechnicalengineering

High winds are associated with coastal storms, and design wind speeds are highest in hurricane-prone regions. However, even in the northeast, the design wind speeds along the coast may be too high for prescriptive design according to the residential code to be permissible. #wind #hazards #resiliency #residential #structuralengineering #design #construction #engineering #homeowners #architects #contractors

Given the costs of purchasing a home, along with the costs of maintaining, operating and potentially repairing an aging property, buyer due diligence is perhaps more important than ever. Sometimes an engineering assessment is useful for making a fully informed purchase and avoiding buyer's remorse. #residential #buildings #design #homeowners #construction #engineering #architecture #structuralengineering

Architects can translate a homeowner's wishes and requirements into a functional and aesthetically pleasing design that will meet the homeowner's needs well into the future. RJD Residential understands that every residential project is different and can offer architects the specific scope of services they need to complete the design of each project. #residential #building #construction #structuralengineering #design #architects #architecture
