can U read blue prints ?

I know what your thinking of course you can , to be a builder you must know how to read blue prints.
Sadly this is not the case with a lot of builders yes they can look at wall placement and fig out floor joist the simple layout stuff but when it comes to cross ref for point loads or nailing patterns for trusses and beams then it is a hole new story,
I can not tell how many story's I have heard from building inspectors about contractor not having a clue.
It is the responsibility of the builder to have the place ready for inspection not for the inspector to give them a list of things to fix and how to do it .

sadly this is the case more often than not , part of being a good builder is knowing the hole job so that you know what you are talking about and can do professional work.

Most builder did not go to school to learn we learn from others as we work our way up so it is up to those that are teaching to teach I show my guys everything so that when they go on their own they are equipped with the right tools to succeed.

The one most important part to this job is blueprint reading with out it you are just guessing.

design builders ?

As the name implies you would expect that when you hire a design builder you would think that the builder would be able to design your project or offer ideas to make your project come alive.
as a design builder it gets me excited when i see the clients reaction to the finish product, to see how happy they get and the way the act like it is their birthday .

the best joy i get when building is the satisfaction of knowing that what i have designed and built will be enjoyed by my client for years and that when they have friends or family over they will be proud of the build.

being able to design all aspect of building and landscaping is a gift and even though there is many design builders out there and other trades using the term design .
many will use cookie cutter building practises just rehashing what other builder do or using design out of magazines while at first glance they look good but will not stand the test of time and most will see it for what it is.

when designing for a client you need to be able to first here what they want and then judge what they need, with this you then need to be able to come up with a design that fits the clients life style
as well full fills all their needs.

above all the end result is to have a client that is overjoyed by the build and totally satisfied
