SIZ Studio is most passionate about using design to improve the world we live in, one space at a time. We want to help you realize the potential of your space through design. We are particularly focused on cost and value in design. We have found that there is no better design tool than an in-depth working knowledge of cost, which allows us to provide very targeted cost estimating during the design process. We have no agenda other than your happiness.
Yes, we can. We will get the plans ready for submitting to the City or County and pull the necessary permits. We will also prepare the necessary documents for HOA approval.
Design-build is an integrated process of design and construction from conception to finished product. One entity is accountable for everything – including how the end result looks, how much it costs, and the timeline of completion. When the same group that designs the project also builds the project, there tends to be much more attention given to pricing in the design phase. The cost of everything is taken into account early on in the process. All fees, construction costs, utilities, landscaping allowances – everything.
We are a design-build firm. We are involved from start to finish, which adds an inherent efficiency. The chance for things to fall through the cracks is greatly diminished. The design-build system is highly adaptive and responsive on the field. Big decisions can be revisited during construction without change orders or additional fees. Design and construction shouldn’t be chaotic or stressful. We believe in open, honest communication. And often. We want clients to understand the process and to know everything that is going on.
We are all in this together and we all have the same goal – to arrive at a successful project that meets or surpasses the client’s expectations for their project. We will guide the way to the best possible outcome.
There are great advantages to design-build over the more customary process of working with a designer first and then selecting a builder. A huge plus is that SIZ Studio, as builder, knows cost. Because we know cost, we can design to a targeted budget. Ultimately, this results in time and money saved for you. Construction starts on time because there is no redesign due to cost overruns. Also, the designer (SIZ Studio) is always represented on the site and is readily available for consultation. SIZ Studio manages everything on your behalf, always with the highest integrity.
Yes, though we are a full service design-build firm, we do offer individual services. We understand that every client’s needs are different and we want to make sure we can help you get what you need. We would be delighted to discuss with you in further detail.
Every project varies depending on the scope of work. We would be more than happy to meet with you for a consultation to discuss your goals and dreams in depth. Afterwards, we will put together a proposal estimating total design time and cost.
