For 30+ Years James Lewis was one of the current owners of Lewis Structures, Inc. has been designing projects for commercial, industrial, residential, civil, and Landscaping construction. Even though he is not an architect or an engineer he has been part of about every phase of the design process. We currently partner with architects or engineers as needed as each project is a new and individual product.
If you need a full-service design and construction firm, we would love to accommodate you. We can design the project and consult with several of the architects or engineers that we have worked with in the past as needed, to complete your project at a discounted rate.
If you are looking for new home plans, architects and engineers are still not needed for most of these projects in Idaho. In the case of a home specifically we can work with you to provide your layout and construct your project from start to finish (except for a few select counties). In the cases where we need to retain a structural engineer we will gladly do so.
We have provided plans for projects in Washington, Idaho, and Oregon. Depending on the requirements of the location we can draft a structure for about anywhere. Our plans are not a “canned” set of plans meaning they will be designed for the snow loading, wind loading and seismic in your area. When you purchase a set of plans off a website they are canned and do not include any of the location data.
Here is a list of the services we provide!
- REScheck

- Other Design Services on a Case-by-Case Basis. $50 Per Hour

All plan fees will be evaluated and adjusted for each project depending on the size. All Design Services will be evaluated based on the time it will take to do the job. Our design services rate is $50.00 per hour, which is less than most other design companies. For instance, as of March 2023 a set of home plans cost anywhere from 2500 to 10k or above depending on the size and complexity/scope of the project.
