Design / Build

Design / Build is an overly used term in the homebuilding industry.  We define it as an approach based on delivering the greatest value achievable within a defined budget and schedule.

Traditionally, new home construction has been performed in phases, where an architect is first selected to complete the design of the home.  Then, a builder is selected to construct the project.  This approach has not always proven to be the most successful since alternate means and methods could be identified by the Builder during the design phase, which in turn could impact the efficiency, cost and schedule of the project.

Under our Design / Build approach, we first would interview you and carefully listen to your needs and wants to examine your way of living.  We would listen to learn how you entertain, the types of visitors you may have, traffic flow, hobbies, and other key aspects of your life so that we can creatively design the perfect floor plan.  We also look at the shape and topography of the home site to maximize views, account for slopes and maximize space and natural features.  We want to make sure you will receive what is most important to you while staying true to the style of the home and your budget.

We then assist the homeowner in selecting a proven architect that is best suited for their specific project requirements and design expectations.  During this phase, the homeowner, architect, and AJC Partners will work to compose a plan that is a culmination of the owner’s objectives in terms of cost, quality, design and schedule.
