Bolinger Design Services

First and foremost is understanding the requirements of the city/county you are working with. Lot coverage, setbacks, height limit, use, location and site conditions are extremely important to understand how the city/county ordinances effect the project. Once one understands the requirements of the city/county the process is straight forward. (1) Research, (2) Existing Site Work, (3) Design/Working Construction Drawings, (4) Structural Engineering (if required), (5) Title 24 California Energy Calculations, (6) Submit Project for Plan Check, (7) Plan Check Response, (8) Permitting Process, (9) Start Construction.

I start with a blank computer screen and within a few hours the ideas and dreams of my client have started to show great progress.

I started design and drafting work in High School while working for a Civil Engineer after school and on the week end. I followed-up by attending school and obtaining a formal education.

At BDS, we appreciate the fact when a client undertakes a home improvement project such as an addition or new home design, they are making a significant commitment of time and money and we are committed to being good stewards of the resources entrusted to us. We tailor our services to each client's project and remain flexible and cooperative toward acheiving the common goal. We design to our client's budgets and respect their timing and scheduling requirements. With your help we can foster a responsive and supportive team approach throughout the design and construction process with the many talented builders, engineers, interior designers and professional consultants we have come to know and trust over our years of business.

Frankly, no. I need to be able to see the structure, style of architecture, site conditions, setbacks and observe general conditions that a remote visit can not provide.

Masks and distancing has worked very well. I have stayed healthy and so have all of my clients.
