Most of our clients come to us with a myriad of ideas of what they would like in their dream home. Our job is to take their
ideas and put them on paper in the form of working architectural drawings. Unlike most custom builders, this process is all done "in house" with our company. Michael learned early on the value of having the designer not only work with the client at the planning stage of the home, but also to assist and participate in the actual construction process.
The President of our company, Jeff Clark, is a Certified Professional Building Designer (CPBD) and a member of the American Institute of Building Design (AIBD). Jeff personally works with all of our clients to develop their dream home. His philosophy is to listen to the clients' needs and develop a plan that meets those needs. He will always give creative ideas, make
recommendations, and point out concerns. However, he also realizes that people have different needs and tastes and that ultimately, it is the client who has to be satisfied with the end product.
Typically we will take our clients ideas and develop a rough floor plan to scale to make sure that the general layout meets their needs. Once we have established the general layout, we are able to finalize the floor plans and begin on the exterior elevations. Since all of our design work is being done on the computer it is very easy to make any changes or revisions that our client requests. Once we have a finalized set of working drawings we can go through each room and detail out the finish specifications for pricing purposes.
Our design process does not stop with the working drawings. Jeff is on the job site on a daily basis and does regular walk-throughs with the clients. During this time, as the house begins to take shape, he assists the clients in making additional modifications if necessary in order to further customize the home.
