Re_think your project … Re_engage

As a contractor, you say to yourself, this is what I do, surely I can figure this out… I have this house plan, but where do I place it on the land. Oh so many questions ….. What is the sun exposure?  What winds do I need to block and which ones do I need to receive?  Where do I place my house to save on electric bills? What about drainage? What views do I have, to take advantage of or that I want to block? What will I see out of my windows from each room? What do my guests see as they arrive? How & where do I entertain?  Oh so many questions……

Okay ….. so you say perhaps I do need to stop and rethink why I should talk to an architect. I have been waiting so long, debating on where to put this house, and know now that I basically can’t see what I can’t see!  Perhaps I do need a professional outsiders opinion; a fresh perspective.  So I decide to get with an architect, and lo and behold Bridgette and Steve are recommended.

Okay ….. but I’m thinking I only want to spend about $700 for this help with site planning. They say it will be $1900!!!!  Wow, that’s a lot, but I wonder if it’s worth it.  And then I hear from this Cajun girl Bridgette, that “we normally save you more than we cost you. Let us walk the land, and let us get to know who you are inside and out.   Let us deliver something that shows you the possibilities throughout your property. Our expertise is to be able to get into your skin, pull out your vision and create an environment, a sanctuary that is above and beyond what you could’ve expected.”

So, we were authorized to proceed.  We studied the site, took their information, their wants, needs, and desires, we formed 3 alternative site plan concepts, and then further developed our preferred solution.  All of which was framed within a theme, a story represented by the short video clip attached below:

What doesn’t show in the video was the real payoff for us….. An instant tear in one eye, a smile on both of their faces, incredibly warm hugs and a great big gracious thank you!  Above all, it was hearing “wow, I never would have thought of that; I had no idea that this is what y’all did, that we were going to get all this” – those words expressing their excitement, the revival of their spirits, the relaunching and reengaging of their passion to move forward with their new home!  Go Donny and Amy!!

So, what’s holding you back?  What professional guidance would it take to get you moving on that project you have been wanting to do for some time??  Engage someone and reengage your excitement and passion for moving forward with your project….today!
