Architetc LLC / Founder and Principal / Sarasota FL SERVING OWNERS, DEVELOPERS, ARCHITECTS, CONTRACTORS AND LENDERS

Services for OWNERS and DEVELOPERS    

BUILDING OWNERS AND DEVELOPERS face an ever-more complex and specialized design and construction workforce.

The design and construction landscape is filled with Owners that simply chose the wrong design team or consultants or contractors for a particular project, and then had the wrong terms within their written agreements with designers and constructors. This is how contracts become conflicts, and how over-budget and delayed projects occur.

Most Owners simply accept the Proposal offered, and do not necessarily understand the intricacies of design or construction proposal or contract terms (especially those terms that are missing) that might work to their disadvantage.

Architetc LLC helps ensure selection of the right team for a particular project, and provides advantageous and coordinated agreement terms, then manages that team under those agreements for a smoother process and a more successful result, with higher return on investment.

Believe it or not, the design and construction process can be fun.

Architetc LLC assists by leading the design and construction teams, instilling best practices, and disciplining the process, so the Owner doesn't need to discipline the people.

From pre-construction to post-occupancy Architetc LLC offers good ideas, and good options, that the Owner may elect to include or save for reference, in accordance with the Owner’s priorities.

Services for ARCHITECTS    

ARCHITECTS work almost exclusively in-house, following their own practice’s established processes and habits. Architects rarely see other firms’ level of practice for comparison to their own.

Architetc LLC regularly reviews many Architects’ practices, and regularly encounters the strengths and weaknesses of one design practice versus another.

Consulting with Architetc LLC allows Architects to proactively learn from others’ mistakes, before they might otherwise learn from their own.

During construction, Design and Project Architects have usually completed the Construction Documents a year or more earlier, and have moved on to new projects. Architectural firms have an interest in keeping their Design and Project Architects at their desks, rather than traveling to and from projects under construction.

With significant Construction Administration experience, Architetc LLC can be the Architect’s eyes and ears on-site.

With Architetc LLC as the Architetc’s CA representative, the Architect remains time and cost-efficient, while having trusted and communicative expertise in the field.

Services for CONTRACTORS    

CONTRACTORS love to build things. Many got into the business for that love, and for the knowledge that they can create a legacy.

But Contractors, and especially small-to-medium size firms and family businesses, are creatures of their own practices and habits. For better or worse, Contractors often like to do things their way.

Architetc LLC regularly sees the processes and practices of many construction firms, and regularly encounters the strengths and weaknesses of one construction practice versus another.

Consulting with Architetc LLC, especially in the Pre-Construction phase, allows Contractors to proactively learn from others’ mistakes, before they might otherwise learn from their own.

With significant Construction Administration experience, Architetc LLC can assist the Contractor to properly scope the work, avoid missing scopes, and capture the details, or missing and required details, that make or break the quality, schedule and profitability of construction.
