At Diggs Consulting, we specialize in tailoring home designs to fit your unique needs and vision. Whether you’re starting from scratch or wish to modify an existing plan, our expert designers are here to help. We can adjust plans you find online, from extending exterior walls to removing interior ones, or even merging multiple designs to achieve your desired exterior look with an interior layout that suits your lifestyle.
Our design consultations are flexible, offering in-person meetings and efficient Zoom calls to accommodate your busy schedule, whether you’re local or residing out of state. We understand the intricacies of designing homes specifically for the Pacific Northwest. This regional expertise is crucial, as designers unfamiliar with local building codes, energy requirements, and construction techniques could lead to costly errors. Our local designers are well-versed in the specific needs of Washington State, from foundation systems to roofing, ensuring your home is both beautiful and practical.
Structural Engineering Coordination
Structural integrity is paramount in home design. Our consultation services include coordination with skilled structural engineers to ensure your home withstands the test of time against local weather conditions, seismic activity, and other structural challenges. Think of structural engineering as the vertical aspect of homebuilding, focusing on the house itself. This collaboration between designers and engineers smooths potential future construction issues, integrating value engineering to optimize both cost and quality.
Civil Engineering Consultation
Consider civil engineering the horizontal counterpart, focusing on the land your home will stand on. Most building jurisdictions require a site plan, but with increasing environmental regulations like stormwater control, civil engineering becomes even more vital. We coordinate with seasoned civil engineers who are experts in creating efficient, compliant site plans. These plans are essential not only for securing permits but also for ensuring your development aligns with environmental standards and local regulations.
Our Commitment
As consultants, our role is to provide expert advice and coordination, guiding you through the design and permitting process. We do not perform physical work; instead, we focus on offering logical, sound advice and navigating the complex terrain of homebuilding. Our goal is to ensure your building experience is seamless, meeting all regulatory requirements while achieving the aesthetic and functional qualities you desire in your future home.
