There have been great waves every day this month at Malibu pier, and the consistent surf has lasted for 24 days. I have never seen a swell last this long. Is this a record?
I would love to hear your opinion if Rhino is best for photorealistic renderings. I am a residential architect and normally hire out this work. I want to learn for myself. Is Rhino the best for me since I only work in AutoCAD?
Hello Everyone,
Architecture Question.
I have over 30 years of experience in residential design and construction. When I see people posting questions in my field, especially those navigating fire-rebuild decisions, I try to offer thoughtful guidance and invite them to call so we can talk through their situation in more detail, as a professional courtesy. I’m not reaching out to pressure anyone into hiring me; I genuinely want to help. I grew up in Pacific Palisades, and it means a lot to support a community that gave me such a wonderful childhood. If someone ultimately considers me for their project, I’d be grateful—but that’s not my intention when I respond to a post.
Question: I’m truly happy to share my experience and offer help at no cost, but I’ve noticed that people rarely reach out after I respond. I include my phone number in case it’s easier to talk things through, yet no one has ever called. To help reassure people that I’m legitimate and experienced, I also share my website: Benson Design & Development & Co.
Do people just not trust anyone to really care to help?
QUESTION for the fire rebuild areas?????
Do you think owners of the fire rebuild properties would benefit from buying or selling their homes to have a feasibility report? Prepared specifically for each lot, so new buyers would know exactly what is allowed to be built on their lot. Our feasibility study protects your investment by showing exactly what can be built before purchase or design. AI is not accurate and cannot give an in-depth report compared to mine. You have to be very experienced in prompting AI to get just the basic answers. The cost would be $1,500 for a typical flat lot and $2,500 for hillside and oceanfront properties.
Opinions Please,
Curious to know if anyone has purchased a Case Study 2.0 plan for a new home build. Was the build per square foot affordable? Was the permit process fast? Many of these plans are amazing. As a residential architect, I would love to hear about your experience.
