Before starting our company and after working in the design and construction industry dealing with many of our area’s contractors and builders, we began to see a pattern of frustration over the design process.
We listened to contractors and learned what they didn’t like about their experiences with some architects and designers. Their concerns included:
- A lack of collaboration between the architect, homeowner, and the contractor during and after design
- A need for more field experience and additional detail in construction drawings
- Not having an understanding of construction costs and ability to design to budget
- Lack of ownership of the selection process during design. Placing numerous “allowances” for materials before construction often causes cost overruns and construction delays
We knew there had to be a better way.
Create an Exceptional Team
First, we combined a team of exceptional designers and architects with an expert in construction methods, procedures, and site supervision.
Take a Collaborative Approach
Second, we dedicated ourselves to serving both the homeowner and the contractor as our clients and creating win-win partnerships. We prefer to approach each project from a shared point of view throughout the design phase.
By creating a collaborative relationship between the homeowner and the contractor from the start we ensure the homeowner has the design expertise they need before you start construction. This allows the homeowner to focus their time and energy on what’s important to them and you can focus your efforts on building their vision as quickly and efficiently as possible.
