Timber & Millwork
The structural engineer left things out. That's not unusual. What matters is catching it before it becomes someone else's problem.

On this build, the omissions were significant. Missing support elements throughout, a roof load that wasn't fully accounted for, rafter sizing that had no place in a custom home. Rob added what was needed, resized what wasn't right, and redesigned a solid wall of windows above the main beam to bring light into a space that would have felt closed. The architect never had to make a trip to site.
The finish work matched the structural ambition. Floating stairs wrap an elevator shaft, each baluster hand-hammered steel, each hole custom-mortised because no two pickets came out identical. A sky bridge connects the upper levels. The wine room door is fabricated steel, mounted in a tight space with channels floating two inches off the wall and light running underneath each shelf. The basement holds a full speakeasy.
Rob sourced the gun safe from a bank demolition in Craig, refabricated the locking mechanisms, made it digital, and welded it into the gun room. The client had no idea until he walked downstairs. His wife and the designer came in behind him and lost their minds.
That's the kind of build this was.
