About Stillpoint, Inc. Engineering

Our knowledge, experience and dedication provides quality projects in a timely manner. 

In 1982, Carl Burchfiel began his career as a general engineering and building contractor providing site development and building services.

In the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, the staff grew to include architects, in addition to office and field personnel. The growth allowed Stillpoint, Inc. to sponsor a student intern program through the University of Cincinnati’s School of Architecture.  Their interns were provided hands-on experience in many aspects of architecture and the building process.  From design through construction, they provided detailed drawings and developed decision making skills as they met with clients, material suppliers, subcontractors, tradesmen and building officials. Many participated in on-site construction projects. 

In 2000, Carl incorporated and became Stillpoint, Inc. 

Today, Stillpoint, Inc. continues to provide excellent work on projects of all sizes incorporating a select group of subcontractors and associates.

Testimonials

"My husband and I live on property that Carl developed, in a house that he designed and built. The house is very beautiful, but it is more than that. Every aspect -- the grading, drainage, foundation, construction, materials, systems, finishes, lighting -- was fully thought out and completed with the utmost care. Electrical outlets are in the right places; the radiant heating system warms us without fans; no air conditioning is required because the siting and the window locations allow for air flow on the hottest days. The quality of Carl's planning and his craftsmanship are unsurpassed."

Fran Gast

"It was an absolute delight to work with Carl in totally transforming the very disrupted terrain of the burn lot we purchased”.  His knowledge and engineering mastery allowed him to brainstorm creative solutions with our project manager and to quickly resolve every issue we encountered in our grading, foundation preparation, drainage, and new septic system.  Carl also arranged for and oversaw transport of 11 mature olive trees we purchased locally. He was so knowledgeable and proficient that the grove owner tried to hire him on the spot for additional transport.  We recommend Stillpoint Inc. unreservedly and truly enjoyed working with Carl and appreciated his professionalism, dedication and thoughtfulness."

Mary Lou Zoback

"With over 40 years of construction and development career experience in the Bay Area I’m qualified to say that Stillpoint Inc. has provided me with superior results — and in no small way due to the insight, integrity and attention to detail Carl brings to the projects he tackles. His efforts come with focused attention to cost effectiveness, which underrscores why Stillpoint, Inc. is my first choice for land development services."

"We had known Carl for many years before we lost our home in the 2017 Tubbs fire, Carl stopped by to check on us quite a few times after the fire to just to see how we were coping, after struggling with getting contractors to give us pricing within our price range for a rebuild, we reached out to Carl for assistance, he not only set us in the right direction, but he became our consultant and performed all of our excavation and site development. Over the course of our rebuild, Carl came up with many suggestions that we would have never thought of, and then helped us in getting them done. The end result of our build has turned out better than we could have hoped for, throughout the entire process Carl was there to help, answer questions, guide us in choosing subcontractors that were above expectations, and still remain our good friend."
