Design-build office construction continues

The design-build office construction is well-underway. The second floor is framed and ready for a roof. The progress we're making is great and this unseasonably warm winter is a blessing. I really enjoy swinging a hammer and wish I had more time to be on site more often actively working.

I spoke to a few clients this week about the plan for the design-build office. I asked their opinion of traditional kitchen and bath showrooms and I wasn't surprised to hear they feel lost in these showplaces. Not physically lost and certainly not confused, but they feel these places don't reflect them. Our new design-build office is intended to be the exact opposite of that.

Remodeling someone's space is a very personal thing. I always make you the focus. My approach, when working with a client, is to learn about you and how you'll use your space and how the style of the space will be a reflection of you. I often "see" a client in the room we design. I am flattered each time a client asks me to work with them and get to know them.

You'll see that when you visit our design-build offices. I am anxious to welcome you into our new space.

Office Construction Begins

We started construction on our new design-build office this week. Once construction on a renovation starts, time flies and days get crazy. It's like being an air traffic controller trying to line up all the planes to come in one after another.

The roof of the building is gone. What does it look like? A roofless building. Four walls standing on a lot. There's no floor in it either. It's just dirt. Is it hard for me to imagine what it's going to look like when it's done? No. That should never be the case for someone in my position. This job is all about vision.
