Builders, Simplify Your Success, with my Agile Architecture Solutions.
Let’s create practical design breakthroughs for fence-sitting under-inspired clients. Starting in 1976 at 22 years of age, working for Osprey Homes in Ft Collins, CO, by meeting their clients. Listening carefully, I drew plans & 3-D sketches together with them for their immediate feedback. Within a few hours, we would have buildable solutions.Then I’d meet with Osprey owner, Reid Lance Rosenthal, with the clients to get his feedback and help rein in costs. His clients got their custom homes. Reid got the permit-docs and a client he could profit from and refined the method up to today.
I’ll get you started right so you finish right, starting by cutting design time by 300%.
Project example: The above photos and more in the gallery are a design for a builder named Judd, his own family’s home on Stamford, CT’s shoreline. Together, we developed and finished plans, elevations, and 3-D sketches in three 8-hour working sessions. I produced contract docs in six weeks. References are available on Google.
About Agile Architecture Solutions: You are my client, and I am your design agent to your client. All 3 parties thus form the Agile team. Our goal is to find creative, buildable solutions together. We all contribute to the design. We can make quick decisions and adjustments, refining the design as we work within a budget. It all happens in a small fraction of time and cost taken to complete if using traditional remote designing.
Let’s get acquainted to see if and how our skills, goals & experience will make a viable team for your client. Your construction business leadership & my design creativity & experience will guide your client to clearer, better decisions. We can employ this agile method, or your own project management style. I am sure you will find that I am a valuable asset. Please consider this. If you have any clients who want ideas, designs, and confidence that something is now working, and you want to get building it.
Client & builder contract options: This agile method makes a collaborative, or negotiated contract for construction, to deter bidding wars leading to lower quality.
