When I started working as an architect after college, I was overwhelmed! The master’s degree I received was only the beginning of the learning process of becoming a good and successful architect. To keep up with all of the advice and tidbits of professional knowledge I came across, I made a 3-ring binder with prints and scans of anything that I thought would be helpful in the future. Eventually, that 3-ring binder turned into a folder on my computer desktop that I titled “cheat sheet.” After almost a decade of work, I still regularly look through that folder.

I wanted to create this website for two reasons:

1. To create a repository for all the references I use regularly.
2. Make that resource available to other architects, people in the construction industry, and DIYers.
3. Help people who are having their own home built with tools and answers to common questions.

I hope that you find this resource helpful. If you think anything is missing or have a “cheat sheet” of your own, I’d love to hear about it. Please reach out to me on my contact site.

Thanks,

Brian
