SOLVING THE PROBLEM:
NO DESIGN, BAD DESIGN, BAD ARCHITECTURE:
Before I (Felipe) became a Licensed Architect, I noticed a huge problem in the AEC (Architecture, Engineer & Construction) industry. There is a massive problem between the Designers (Architects) and Builders (Contractors).
-Designs done by a Designer that is not competent enough to detail the work per codes or engineering standards, thus making the design unbuildable - causing the owner to stress out about wasted money for a design that cannot be built, cannot go through the permit process.
-The Architect over designed the project, and budgets are now way over because most Architects are not in tune with current construction costs and methods, yet permits have been issued. The disconnect between Architects and Builders is still a huge problem. When Architecture was good, the plans would tell the entire story of the design intent. No need for notes and sheets with unit cost. Now Architects and a lot of “designers” just cut & paste and include THOUSANDS of words in general notes or 8.5”x22” sheets, as conditions to explain away a bad design, and to cut back on their responsibility. That wording equals money to a builder.
-No Design at all. That’s just a problem. I call this the “Majic Wand” (I want this, a pool here, a patio here, a wall here… now how much is it going to cost, tell me now!?)
We solved these three problems simply by becoming the solution:
REYES LANDSCAPE CONSTRUCTION - Is the Architect-the Contractor-the Design/Builder. Need Permits, No Problem; Need a Builder, No Problem; Need Both, No Problem!
Losing the Budget, Losing the design narrative and Losing the permits is no longer an issue. We can handle all of the above and have been doing so for Decades now!
Family Owned and Operated:
- We have spent our entire life here, in California. We are California natives. We know the west coast, our large state, and specifically Northern California. We have planted, cared for, built, and worked in all of the microclimates in California. We have a working knowledge of the winds, rain patterns, sun and temperature, coastal and inland fog, and the natural earth movements. We have aided in the repairs, both environmental and structural. We have seen snow in the nearby mountains and have felt the power of our plants and Planet (The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake occurred in Northern California on October 17 at 5:04 p.m. local time). We know the history and can shape the future. This is California and we Love it!m
