My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What is this called?

8 years ago

Hi, I'm looking for a name for this feature - wide stone pillar with two beams? Tried googling that and not much action. Is there a more specific name? Just looking for more images. Thanks.

    What we have here is an adaptation of prairie or craftsman style columns and base. Google "craftsman (or prairie) style column" for info and images.

    Pillar is just another term for column.

    Columns (and pillars) are vertical and support an entablature or beam/girder.

    Beams/girders are horizontal.
