Casa is your expert in planning for construction or fixing problems with existing buildings. As licensed architects, Casa provides the drawings for construction of new buildings and building changes for businesses and homes. As forensic architects, Casa investigates chronic problems in existing buildings of all types and prescribes a course of action based on the desired degree of resolution for the problem. Casa also is experienced in the preparation and updating of Reserve Fund Studies for condominiums and homeowner’s associations.

Casa does not actually perform construction, so clients are still free to choose their own contractor, bid a project, or, in many residential projects, do the work themselves.

Business changes that require a professional seal on the plans:
Change to “A” (Assembly) uses like churches and restaurants.
Change of use of any space: from retail to church, restaurant to office space, etc.

House changes that usually involve an architect:
New construction and additions where there is not a general contractor.
Additions with complex roof configurations in need of more design work to resolve them.
Additions to homes with a distinct style the owner wishes to maintain or improve.

Those who will benefit from the services of Casa include but are not limited to:
People who own/manage large groups of buildings.
People who are moving a business out of their home and into their first commercial location.
People who are planning to expand or move their business.
People with land they want to develop.
People who want help to design a change to their home or a new custom home.

How large a project can Casa handle?
We have worked on numerous commercial projects with construction budgets of over 10 million dollars. We can set up services for reasonable rates on small projects and take some time to resolve simple forensic problems over the phone, but have no doubt: if you need remodeling documents for over half a million square feet of space or condition reviews on 150 structures or construction documents for a new landmark building, we are experienced in projects of that scale as well and we would like to help you, your friends and your clients get the most from your construction dollar, no matter how large or small the project.
