Material Selection & Specification Package:

• 3D Renders of key project areas illustrating material application.
• Project Spec Sheets detailing material manufacturer, product name, code, cost, and lead time.
• Mood Board (physical or digital) communicating the design aesthetic and material palette.

Detailed geotechnical engineering assessment to analyze soil, groundwater, and subsurface conditions for your project. Ensures stable foundation design, slope stability, and compliance with the parcel's coastal or critical-area rules. Edmonds, Seattle, and county codes differ.

Rough Timeline (4-6 weeks):

• Week 1: Initial site visit & proposal approval.
• Weeks 2-3: Field investigations (borings) & sampling.

• Week 6: Final report delivery.

Specialists:

• Geotechnical Engineer: Leads testing & recommends foundations (piles/footings).
• Soil Technician: Conducts on-site borings.
• Lab Analyst: Performs tests on soil bearing capacity/shear strength.
• Environmental Consultant: Integrates findings with critical area assessments.

Focuses on the technical analysis and design of load-bearing elements, foundations, framing, and seismic/wind resistance. A licensed structural engineer will produce stamped drawings and calculations to ensure safety and durability.

Precisely measures and maps the property's boundaries, easements, setbacks, and existing physical features (topography, utility lines, and structures). Establishes horizontal and vertical controls needed for plans.
