Plan now, and Design-Build

Thanks for stopping by! I have been out of touch here for a while, while we try to revise my main website. Meanwhile, it looks like things are picking up, peaople are starting to do what they have been putting off for a while and looking ahead to brighter days. SO...

Time to plan for the building season! Keep in mind that it could take several months to get throught he design and document process, depending on the complexity and scale or your project. Some I can blow through fairly quickly, but they are the exception, with little detailing, a lot of the decisions being made on the fly or by you or the GC during construction. This is not necessaruily a good idea, but can work for "typical" projects. Anything else, give yourself time to plan, dream and get it right.

I have also started working with a great young GC, Domers Construction, in a Design-Build capicity, where we can do a two part system that can really help control costs and get you the project you want and can afford. I work with you during the design process in a typical manner, except that he and I confer constantly on builidng and cost issues. By the end of a preliminary design, you will have selected a solution you like, and he will give you a budget range. If you agree, we will finish the drawings for permit and construction and he will give you and estimate guaranteed to stay within the earlier budget. The secret is constant communications and input, and coorperation rather than the sometimes adversarial bidding process.

Give me a call if you think it might work for you!
