The old adage, "Penny-wise and dollar-foolish," applies to the purchase of construction plans. Contracting with the cheapest designer or buying inferior internet plans could cost you thousands later during construction. The plans are the least expensive and most important item on the list of services and materials needed to build your dwelling

The Top 4 Biggest Problems that may occur hiring an Architect or Home Designer, and how Sweeney Builders overcomes them All…

We have heard all the horror stories of property owners that have spent thousands on the design of a new home, business or remodel and are unable to move forward due to the following:

2. The design does not meet the needs of the client due to an inability on the designer’s part to represent what the finished product will look and feel like.

“Just hang the floor plans on the wall and Imagine that you’re there…”

Unbelievable, some Designers tell their client to do this. Sweeney Builders offers what many others do not. We will build 3D models, complete with photo-realistic renderings and virtual reality walk-throughs of your ideas that make it easy to visualize and eliminate surprises

, rather than the your home or business being fully constructed and you saying "This is not what I thought it would look like!"

1. They Won’t Listen to You

Sadly, some of you are saying “You’re Right” You know what your, budget, needs and preferences are. When you meet with the Designer you are told what you want and need. Worse yet, you are told your ideas will not work. Two weeks later, you meet at the Designer’s office for a rushed 15 minute meeting as you are told what you want; as the Designer rushes out the door. Finally months later and thousands spent, you have a design which does not represent you budget, needs or preferences.

Sweeney Builders is a world apart from this. Our primary focus is listening to you, so we can best design a Home, Business or Remodel that meets your budget, needs and preferences. It’s your Home or Business, not ours. You’re the ones that are going to use the home or business and live in it, for many years after we’ve completed our work. We spend plenty of time early on in the design process, so we are certain the design is truly what you can afford and desire, before thousand of dollars are spent unnecessarily.
 

3. The Dwelling cannot be built as designed.

Believe it or not this is a frequently occurring problem. Due to a Designer or Architect’s lack of building or technological skills, such being able to visualize how duct runs are to be made on a dwelling with complex, wall, ceiling and roof construction techniques. Now it’s time to run ducts for heating and cooling, but it will require misplaced soffits to be installed, thus radically changing the original design leaving you less that satisfied.

4. Constructing the dwelling as designed will not come close to meeting the budget
 

This is a very common problem due to lack of knowledge that many Designers and Architects have with construction cost and value engineering. Ask the Designer or Architect how many buildings they have actually built. Consider this… you are in need of open heart surgery. Would you choice a Doctor with only theoretical training? Or would you choose a Doctor with real hands on experience? Our hands on experience provides our clients with wealth of knowledge that not only prevents this problem, but also enables us to offer many design options to fit your budget.
