Hi my name is Paden and I own Silverado Design LLC, I am located in Lafayette, Colorado. I have over 20 years of experience in all aspects of architecture and construction for residential and commercial projects. I have worked from the programing stage through construction administration in Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, ArchiCAD, and Chief Architect. Below is the full list of services I provide: -Residential remodels, additions, interior updates -Residential custom: 2k-10k SF -Residential duplex and triplex -Residential townhomes and multifamily -Commercial: business, retail, mixed use, tenant improvement -Programming -Schematic Designs -Design Development -Construction Documents -Construction Administration -Residential permit sets -Electrical layouts -IRC and IBC code analysis -3D perspectives and renderings -Construction detailing -Architectural site plans -BIM modeling: architectural, structural, electrical, mechanical -Coordination between other design teams -Revit customizations, family creations, and tutoring -Software: Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Navisworks, Bluebeam, Microsoft Office, Revizto, Lumion I have completed jobs in the following state: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia. I highly believe that architects should have construction experience and vice versa. Having spent many years in both realms, I bring a unique ability to know what each side is looking for and mitigate the frustration that so often occurs between the two sides. When I work on a project, I am continually looking at it with the contractor's and architect's view in mind so it ultimately leads to a smooth and refined project that reduces costs and errors. I place a lot of value on constant and clear communication, so I create a list of questions with imagery for clarification and review with the team. I am always open to feedback, if there is something I can do to make your life easier or make the project run smoother, please don't hesitate to share! I appreciate you taking the time to check out my profile! Please reach out if you have any questions or if I can provide any additional information. Thank you, Paden
