Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
Pricing is largely dependent on the scope of services both required and requested by the client. Most proposals are presented a la carte. Basic design and document services are a set fee with additional services spelled out that can be omitted or added (at the clients request) as the project develops.
Time and fee intensive services like photo realistic renderings, physical models, visiting manufacturers to review furniture, kitchen design, and construction observations are not needed or appropriate for every project. We work with you to provide what you need without sacrificing quality or design or project delivery.
How did you get started in this business?
Design has always been at the center of how I approach everything in life. I have been very fortunate in finding the right mentors and business partners that have enabled me to gain experience in all areas of construction and a wide variety of project type.
As the last firm I was with began to focus more on specific project areas, I sought to maintain the opportunity to keep growing. TB Architects was born from a desire to provide quality design to a broad variety of clients.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have had the honor to work a wide variety of clients in my career from the Chicago Bears to the fast-growing startups. My residential clients have placed enormous trust in my by letting me work with them thru their new home and home addition projects.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Find somebody that understands your goals and vision is important. You may think you are going into a project without any expectations but the right designer will get things out of you that you may not have realized were there.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
What are my priorities? Is this a home/facility that I want to grow with me or is it just a step in a larger plan?
What attracted you to your home/building/site? Knowing this will help you keep what is important in sight.
What is a reasonable budget for this project? What can you do/finance without placing undue strain on you, your family, your business? If this is an investment, what is an acceptable level of risk (for you)? We can work with you to develope a project that can either be phased or scaled to work best for you.
