Every project is tailored to the client. There are no off-the-shelf plans or designs here. Inspiration strikes from experience. Continuous advancement is inherent. A designer / architect should be instated from the inception of a custom home or remodel, retained throughout construction, and participate in post occupancy to truly see the proper execution of their plan. Our work places the plan at the center of the project with all parties belonging to one team with the same end goal. Challenges are expected in any construction project and working together proves invaluable to a proper solution.
Our services reach beyond floorplans and home design. Client surveys, information collection sessions, and site visits are crucial to developing a design that fully integrates the land, environment, and client. Selection of interior and exterior finishes and products (insulation, roofing, siding, masonry, windows, doors, mechanical systems, etc) down to plumbing fixtures, HVAC, appliances, lighting, hardware, furniture, electronics, and artwork is available. Choices can be input to the digital model and experienced in Virtual Reality (VR) before ground is ever broken. Knowledge and experience with advanced mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems provide basis for selection and review. Walk-throughs are conducted throughout the construction process at various stages (framing, rough-in, drywall, trim-out, substantial completion) to ensure compliance with plans and best practices. Follow up visits after taking ownership can review function of systems and seasonal items that may need to be addressed. This arduous process ensures the quality and longevity of such an investment for just a fraction of its cost.
