Instead of having an in-house architect or designer, we feel our clients are better served by helping them choose an architect that fits their style and taste. We have and maintain relationships with many architects/designers in WNC, and after understanding your particular needs we can help find the perfect fit for you. From there we all work as a team to bring a design you love into focus and within budget.
We love it all! Whether you are restoring an 1800s home on the historic registry, building a new modern green home, or anything in between we are equipped and ready to help you realize your vision. What is most important to us, is the fit of the team. Having the right trifecta of Builder, Designer, and Client makes all the difference regardless of the project type.
The short answer is it depends on the project and the needs of the client. We have been moving more and more towards cost plus work, but on occasion we still contract at a fixed price. Regardless of the format, we always operate on an "open book" policy. Meaning that you will see the real cost of your entire project, including our overhead and profit. Beyond that, we also extend our discounted vendor pricing to our clients. We feel this approach and level of transparency really helps build trust in the relationship from the beginning.
