Hi I will share the details with the shortlisted candidates. Thanks

I have a single reference photograph of a backyard bar with a rooftop deck and I want to turn it into a permit-ready set of drawings that satisfies North Carolina Residential Building Code. The space will function primarily as an entertainment area, carries a rustic character, and should showcase wood as the dominant finish and structural element.
