Construction is like origami...

Many things in life vary in complexity, including math, origami, and construction.  According to ArchitecturalFees.com, when it comes to construction, "project complexity is directly related to the amount of time an architect has to spend designing and administering a project".
If we rank construction projects into levels of complexity, Group 1 are the most simple buildings and include industrial buildings or parking structures. Projects increase in complexity to apartments, convention halls, theaters, and finally the most complicated is Group 5 which includes the Custom Residence.  It is no wonder!  Have you ever considered all of the intricacies involved in a home?

From a solid foundation to the roof tiles, homes are expected to last for centuries through harsh environmental conditions and human inflicted wear and tear.

There are countless parts to a house that need to work together and numerous skilled laborers involved.  Consider the skills needed: to make sure the walls are straight,...
