Architects are designers, problem solvers, and communicators. They can custom design from scratch, create a story around a mission, or help modify an existing plan that does not currently meet your needs. For most people, their home or businesses will be the biggest investment they will do or asset they possess, and any renovations may be the first and last. Therefore, buildings should be designed and constructed to quality standards that provide safety, wellness, growth, keep in mind potential resale values, and last for not only the next 20+ years, but the building’s lifespan of 100+ years.

When it comes to building, Architects serve as leaders.  Project sites can be challenging or a potential opportunity depending on how we look at it. Construction can be a complex process that can quickly become overwhelming to those with less experience. It involves numerous trades, engineers, contractors, navigating local and sometimes federal governments, local communities, utility companies, conflicting schedules, balancing budgets, optimization, strategic planning, selection of materials, fixtures, finishes, equipment, project management, legal responsibilities, meticulous coordination, maintaining a professional standard of care, confirm quality standards for construction meet the contract documents, and all while preserving the quality of the client’s vision. We believe that involving a contractor and architect in the process as early as possible will be beneficial to the efficiency and quality of the overall project.

Architects are trained to not only bring value to a client with an eye for design, but see the whole picture of a project as it will come together like a conductor. As a leader, the conductor is responsible for unifying the musicians, setting the tempo, and shaping the overall interpretation of the music. In the end, Architects serve as a partner and representative leader for the client taking the project from conception through execution.
