Luxury Custom Home Design Check List
The process of selecting a home site, interviewing home designers and general contractors
is a huge time
consuming and complicated process for anyone including the most
experienced home
building clients. This is never more true than for customers that are
pursuing their
vision of a custom "one of a kind " luxury home. This is principally
due to the
challenges of
developing a trustworthy design team (designer, general contractor) that is
like minded in
their design goals and can function as a team. The design teams purpose
should be in
transforming their clients dream like image into a functional and purposeful
product.
Developing functional and tailored living space is both a science and art. It
is a
very subjective
process that is dependent upon the owners ability to articulate their visions
and lifestyle
needs, which is the basis of a custom "one of a kind " luxury home.
The success
of the design
project is contingent upon trust, open communication, good listen skills and a
passion for
designing a unique product that will serve their clients interest.
