Introducing:
Steven L. Glenn, Architect / Builder
Your new
Architectural Design Department ! ! !
·
Provide your
clients with personal design services as a normal part of your business
practice.
·
We work as your
representative, delivering services specific to your style of building.
·
Advertise your
new design service to increase new leads.
·
Sign your client
before they hire an independent Architect and open the project to a bidding
situation.
·
Control the
project from inception as an integral partner in the design process.
·
Integrate budget
constraints and processes in the design phase, for a smooth transition to
actual construction of the project.
·
Add our 20+
years of experience in Architecture, Engineering, and Construction to your
team. We are a Licensed Michigan Builder
and Architect.
What We Do:
·
With our background
/ experience as a Builder and education / License as an Architect, we provide
design and construction documentation which reflects the needs and requirements
for actual field use by the trades.
·
All conceptual
design work is produced with state-of-the-art CADD computer programs which
become the basis for construction documents.
·
Clients are
presented with graphical representations of their project in both 2-D and 3-D
for a clear understanding of the final project / home. Photorealistic, color perspective renderings
of the exterior and interior are generated as well as computer virtual reality
files which are provided to the client on CD for viewing on their own home
PC. Glossy, color, 8 ˝ x 11, prints of
all perspective views are generated for both your client and your files.
·
Construction
drawings detail necessary elements of the construction without over detailing, showing
your unique construction techniques where appropriate. Every Builder / contractor has his/her own
methods and techniques which set you apart from your competition. These elements of your special unique
approach can be documented, allowing you to sell your services based upon the
drawings and details.
·
Plans developed
for your project include schematic framing diagrams identifying all joists and
beams laid out from a logical framing reference point. Each wall stud is shown within the walls
(plan) coordinating the studs with the framing reference and joists. All structural members are preliminarily
sized, increasing the lumber yards estimate accuracy, which reduces your fixed
cost risk. As an additional service, we
can provide schematic wall framing diagrams for every wall on the project,
indicating the sill and top plates,
openings with headers, cripples and sills. A schematic isometric of the framing is
provided as a visual reference to the fully framed project.
· Engineered “Trade” drawings are offered when it is desirable
or required to direct your sub-trades (HVAC, Plumbing, & Electrical) to the
complexities of your complex or unique project.
Bidding from the subs will be apples-to-apples not apples-to-oranges and
more competitive.
·
Eliminate your bad
experiences with “Design Architects” lack of field experience and un-buildable
details. No third party to alienate you
from your client. Build the project to
your standards and techniques without the Architects inspections quoting buried
text in unreadable specifications or interpretation of incomplete
drawings. Change Orders and Field
Modifications stay between you and your client without the Architects meddling.
