Bio

ARCHITECTS AND MASTER BUILDERS We believe that great Architecture is only possible when all technicians work together as a team under the leadership of a licensed architect. This Architect-led process reduces layers of management, finger pointing, and overall cost. Our projects normally cost 20% less than our competition. There are typically 400 - 500 technicians who work on each project, and they need guidance from a trained, creative director who has experience and knowledge in all aspects of building/site design and construction means and methods. That project manager for each project is our Architect, who designs and prepares construction drawings, monitors construction details, level of craftmanship and finishes, and compatibility of various building systems. Our project managers can perform structural calculations and change beam sizes during construction, or revise skylight and cornice details based on field conditions. This is the ideal method of construction practice. Architect-led construction was practiced by the Renaissance Master Builders like Michelangelo and American Architects like Frank Lloyd Wright. Our staff is uniquely qualified to provide "all design, construction, and inspection" services required for any construction project, your one-stop shop. We start each project design with construction cost and budget in mind, and we tailor your design details to meet your financial needs and aesthetic goals. This is how construction is supposed to be, a fun, interesting, and transparent process, where your architect and builder is the same person. That person is your agent, who is your creative thinker, your master technician, your financial guide, your energy consultant, and your one "go to person" for everything. A professional you can trust. Our clients say we care about the project even more than them. This is the paradigm we have used for the last 14 years to serve our clients "like no one else."
