You Are the Best Architect for Your Home

Why would you be the best architect for your home?

Your home is an investment and we take that seriously, at Hefty Construction, Inc. you are the most important person on our design team. You are the architect.

If you’re looking to build or remodel the home of your dreams, or you are looking to build a downsized home to spend the rest of your life in, the home you are creating, is a unique space that is a reflection of you, your interest, tastes and lifestyle.

So Why Would you Trust Anyone But You to Design Your New Home?

Think About it! Who can envision better than you, your new home, and its design features to fit your needs better than YOU!

After all, no one can envision how you’ll live in your home and design features to suit your needs better than you. There are so many small details in home design that you hold close to your heart, why risk these being lost in translation?

3 Reasons to Take Charge of Your Custom Home Design

Here are some of the reasons why many homeowners are opting to skip the architect:

1. You get more out of your investment
2. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
3. Architects and builders often have different goals

More For Your Money

According to the American Institute of Architects, the money you spend on an architect buys you five services: preliminary design and programming, design development, construction documents, budget analysis and bid supervision, and site inspections and review.

However, it’s not uncommon for architects to only complete the first two services at a “discounted rate,” and leave the rest to be handled by the homeowner and builder. While the homeowner pays the architect less, they end up spending more in the long run to have the remainder of the design services handled by someone else.

When a homeowner partners Hefty Construction, Inc., all of the design services are handled in collaboration with the homeowner — ensuring all requirements are met, and all design details are accounted for.

You May Only Build Once

The building experience should be an enjoyable one, not a stressful one.

You don’t want the design experience to feel like a tug-of-war conveying your ideas with someone who does not know you or understand.

When working together with Hefty Construction, Inc., our role in the process is to work together with you, to make your vision come to life on paper. You’re in charge of laying out smalles details you want in your home. Details that suit your lifestyle and can fully express your vision. Our team will help keep you on track, to build a quality crafted home, within your budget and also provide guidance to be sure we are in compliance with local building codes.

Aligning Your Team Goals

When your design team is working with your engineering, manufacturing, and building team — you’re able to ensure that everyone is on the same page and working toward the same goal.

When a third- party architect is charged with designing the home, once they deliver the plans, their responsibilities (and interest) in the project have ended. If there are issues with feasibility between design and build, it can be difficult, if not impossible, so ensure the architect helps solve the problem.

When everyone is on the same page, things run more smoothly. Plus, with you at the helm as the homeowner, the page that everyone is on will exactly match your wishes.
