​SERVICES

We offer engineering, design, and agency processing services

EXPERT ENGINEERING SERVICES

Picture
We specialize in architectural engineering, which integrates the structural and design aspects of a building. All engineering work is done by Eric Bacon, who is a licensed Professional Engineer in California and Nevada, and is member of the Tahoe Truckee Engineers Association and Contractors Association of Truckee-Tahoe. We can confidently handle the most complex structural designs, yet we look for common sense solutions to enhance the constructability of our designs.

We offer an extensive civil engineering background with experience in: site improvement plans and grading plans. As a firm we have completed hundreds of BMP (Best Management Practices) erosion protection plans within the Tahoe Basin

AGENCY PROCESSING

Picture
A large part of every project is obtaining the necessary agency approvals. Each individual agency has its own specific set of requirements, and each agency frequently changes their requirements. Some projects may have as many as ten separate agency approvals! The staff at BCDE, Inc. has over twenty consecutive years of experience interacting with the local agencies. Several solicit our opinions in preparing their regulations. We have solid working relationships that have developed from interacting with them on a daily basis.

We have had great success negotiating with the agencies on our clients behalf informally and in public hearings. We are proud of our reputation within the agencies and the goals we have accomplished for our clients.

DESIGN AT THE INTERSECTION OF FORM + FUNCTION

Picture
We have completed new custom designs using Contemporary Mountain Design, Craftsman, Old Tahoe, Bavarian, Tudor, and Victorian themes. All of our designs take the High Sierra environment into account and are fine-tuned by over twenty-eight years of experience. We strive to educate our clients about design aspects of new construction, or about the impacts of their desired modifications to an existing residence, so they can make informed decisions with respect to design and budget considerations.

We have designed additions that integrate so well with existing structures that they are virtually indistinguishable. We have successfully completed additions to Old Tahoe cabins that capture the look and spirit of the original building. We have also taken old, nondescript residences and completely transformed them into showcase residences.

We speak green

Bacon Collaborative Design Engineering Inc. is familiar with most types of green building strategies. We can design, or assist with designs for: Passive and active solar systems, building integrated photovoltaics, ground source heat pumps, solar hot water heating, and living roofs, just to name a few. Eric Bacon is a LEED accredited "green building" professional.

Testimonials

"Eric was hired to design, engineer, and oversee an extensive remodel of our home including our kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and great room. He exceeded our expectations by captaining our project from beginning to end, all within the expected time frame and budget. Eric is an excellent communicator who was able to take our ideas and desires and transform them into engineered plans. Through his professional connections, we able to interview several general contractors and were more than satisfied with our choice. Additionally Eric was the intermediary between the Town and our project; all our interactions were professional and timely"
