Our Unique Approach

Not all architects and designers are created equal.  Here are a few of the things we offer that greatly enhance the value you can expect to receive when working with us.

We focus on you getting a high ROI (Return on Your Investment)!

Through our professional experience and efficient design, we can help you maximize your dollar by reducing the cost of construction, reducing energy consumption and potentially increasing the future resale value of your home.  We can also streamline the construction process by assisting in the selection of qualified contractors and monitoring the conditions on job site (when selected).

We assist you throughout the design and construction process.

We "hold your hand" throughout the entire design and construction process, taking you step by step from developing your initial design through the final construction.

We focus on developing a design based on your unique situation.

A licensed architect has the required training and experience to help you see the overall picture and help you make the right decisions regarding your new home.  As architects, we are trained to be problem solvers and can offer ideas and solutions that can transform your house into a home.

We offer our unique "Homes For Life" process

Through our unique process, we can design a home that meets your needs, lifestyle and budget, achieving successful results while eliminating the unnecessary headaches and possible problems that can typically arise during construction.

We listen to your thoughts, ideas and concerns

We believe in achieving design excellence through carefully listening to your needs and goals, not by imposing our overall ideas onto your project. We are here to design a home that works perfectly for you and your family, not a project that will just look great in a portfolio and this can only be achieved by truly listening to what you the client has to say, both positive and negative.

We are able to join your team as a custom home design expert.

Through our education and professional experience, we have become the custom home design expert for the Midlands, striving to bring architecture and good design to everyone regardless of project size and budget. We are here to help you achieve your dream home through efficient and timeless design that is unmatched in the Midlands.

We provide 3D models to help you see your new home.

We work with 3D computer models throughout the design phase to allow you to see your new home and make changes more easily.  This provides you the comfort of knowing exactly what your new home will look like, before starting construction, eliminating unnecessary change orders and saving you money.

We have over 35 years experience as an Architect and Home Builder.

We are dedicated to the design and construction industry and to maintaining the high level of design and construction standards that we have established as professionals throughout our careers.

We work to maximize your budget both during construction and after.

Through our professional experience and efficient design, we can help you maximize your dollar by reducing the cost of construction, reducing energy consumption and potentially increasing the future resale value of your home.  We can also streamline the construction process by assisting in the selection of qualified contractors and monitoring the conditions on job site (when selected).

We eliminate unnecessary change orders during construction.

We work thoroughly throughout the design phase to develop a set of accurate drawings and specifications based on your exact wants and needs.  By performing this detailed planning, we are able to eliminate the change orders that typically increase your cost of construction.

We specialize in residential design.

After gaining experience in both the commercial and residential markets, we decided to concentrate solely on residential design enabling us to focus our attention on the changing market, products and code requirements of residential design.

We are dedicated to providing exemplary service in the housing industry.

Becoming a licensed architect takes several years of formal education, resulting in a professional degree in architecture, either a Bachelors of Architecture or Masters of Architecture.  This is followed by a period of practical training or internship lasting several years, and is culminated by the passage of the Architectural Registration Exam, a nine section examination of practice acquired architectural knowledge.  Overall it takes approximately 10 years of education, training and testing to gain licensure to become an architect. 

We are continually learning about the latest methods and technologies.

Once licensed, annual continuing education requirements must be met to maintain licensure and ensure knowledge of current building systems, methods and technologies.  This allows us to provide you with the best options available for your project.  Throughout the year, we attend numerous professional seminars and trade shows, as well as visiting the latest neighborhoods and product facilities, to remain up to date on the current trends in design and construction materials.
