What inspires and influences your work?
Outside elements. Our goal is to create a harmonious living space by seamlessly blending timeless design elements with the beauty of nature. Designing this lake house that embraces a transitional style, while incorporating coastal influences, resulted in a home that stands the test of time and brings the outdoors in.
How do you bring a client’s vision to life?
Our objective is to carefully listen to our clients’ desires and needs, considering their individual lifestyles, and design preferences. By combining our creativity and expertise, we aim to create and bring to life the client’s dream home. We value transparency, teamwork, and maintaining a close relationship with our clients and building partners, throughout the entire design and construction journey.
What are some of your favorite trends and styles in new construction?
We have been enjoying incorporating warmer tones and vintage-inspired elements for more eclectic designs. The use of white oak, walnut, and black stained cabinetry has been very popular in both modern and traditional style homes, all of which can elevate a space. I have always loved incorporating natural materials and textures into my designs and have been loving the growing trend of using warm colors and textures. I believe, a well-designed space should encompass a range of colors, textures, and layers, while also reflecting the unique personality of the homeowner.
How did you get started in the building industry?
We started in the industry selling homes for another builder and over the years realized we wanted to put our personal touch on each home. So we started building for ourselves and have not looked back. At the heart of our philosophy lies the belief that each homesite narrates its own unique story. Embracing the inherent challenge, we take immense satisfaction from transforming what may initially appear nondescript into someone’s dream home.
What sets your company apart?
With our unwavering commitment to excellence, we not only construct homes but also prioritize serving our clients’ best interests. Throughout every phase of the building process, we remain steadfast in our pursuit of ensuring client satisfaction. Our client-centric approach is the cornerstone of all that we do. We are led by a genuine desire to understand and meet our clients’ unique needs and aspirations. We actively engage with our clients. By prioritizing their visions and preferences, we strive to surpass expectations and deliver homes that not only meet but exceed their dreams. Our dedication to client satisfaction extends beyond the completion of a project; we are devoted to building relationships that endure well into the future. Our clients are also our neighbors. Integral to our success is our esteemed job supervisor, Bruce, whose career spans four decades in the construction of both single-family and commercial properties. His on-site acumen sets him apart, delivering an unparalleled level of expertise that is cherished by those fortunate enough to engage with him. His ability to forge meaningful connections with our clientele is exceptional, consistently surpassing expectations and demonstrating unwavering dedication to excellence in every undertaking, regardless of its magnitude.
How would you describe your team’s approach to a new project?
Our team approaches each new project with a blend of planning, creativity, and a commitment to exceeding client expectations. We kick off by thoroughly understanding our client’s vision, budget, and timeline, ensuring clear communication channels are established from the outset. Our design phase involves collaborative brainstorming sessions, where innovative ideas merge with practical solutions to create unique and functional spaces. During construction, we prioritize quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and adherence to deadlines, ensuring a seamless build process. Continuous client involvement and feedback are integral to our approach, ensuring that every aspect of the project aligns with their vision. Overall, our team’s approach is characterized by professionalism, creativity, and a relentless pursuit of excellence in every project we undertake.
What are the most important elements of a successful build team?
Seamless collaboration among its members. Our team’s longstanding history of cohesive work is a testament to the level of trust we have cultivated over the years. This shared trust significantly contributes to enhancing the overall building experience for our clients. As a small organization, we embrace a versatile operational model where each team member wears multiple hats, facilitating a dynamic overlap of responsibilities. This approach ensures that there is always a proficient team member readily available to step in and address any requirement promptly. This not only underscores our commitment to efficiency but also serves as a key factor in providing our clients with a consistently superior level of service throughout the entirety of their construction journey.
What do you enjoy most about building custom homes?
Building custom homes is an incredibly rewarding endeavor for us. What we love most is the opportunity to create unique floor plans for each project, ensuring that no two houses are ever the same. Witnessing the transformation from conceptual ideas to tangible realities is a gratifying experience, allowing us to understand our clients’ personalities and lifestyles intimately. The joy of contributing our expertise and assistance, coupled with the constant learning involved in the process, adds a fulfilling dimension to our work. We revel in the freedom to explore creative and playful design elements, adapting to various styles from traditional to modern. Working closely with homeowners, we form lasting friendships, as the entire journey from planning to completion is a collaborative effort. The absence of constraints in custom builds opens the door to endless possibilities, making each new project a refreshing challenge that keeps us energized and excited.
