Services

PDRdesigns offers three exceptional services:

Architecture – Architecture is an exciting and emotional experience as it deals with your personal tastes and desires.  It is the blending of ideas, thoughts and senses into concrete, wood and steel to incorporate all of the clients passions into a coherent design.

One of the major contributing factors to a good design is listening to the client.  At PDRdesigns, we listen to our clients and ask questions about how they intend to use the spaces and why, in order to ascertain how we should put together the design package.  Each design is tailored to the clients wants, needs and budget.

Many times we have heard from clients “I never thought about doing it that way!”  Our job is to think of all the possibilities and look at a problem from a different angle or perspective.  In essence, We Solve Problems!

The architecture process begins with a client phone call to get some background information about the job.  From there we set up a meeting at your site or our office to review the job and discuss what your goals are for the project.  When we have a clear understanding of what it is you are looking for, we will send a proposal that details what the project entails, what it is that we will provide for you, how much it will cost and how long the design is expected to take.  When the proposal is accepted, we measure the project, if there are existing conditions, and then begin on the preliminary design.  Preliminary design is presented to the owner in the form of plans, elevations and perspectives if needed, to convey our design intentions.  Alterations to the project can take place at this point and when the design is accepted, the construction documents are completed. 

Construction – Building is an art.  There is an enormous amount of coordination that is needed to receive and install all of the materials that are involved in a project.  Keeping everyone on track and on budget is a complicated but rewarding job.  There is a great sense of satisfaction when looking at a completed project and knowing all of the time and effort that went into the job.

We handle renovations, additions, new homes, tenant fit ups, commercial alterations and new buildings.  Whether we build something that we have designed or we build from a set of plans that you bring to us, you will be delighted with the end result.  Exceptional quality and time management are our keys to success.

Construction Consulting / Project Management - Construction Consulting is offered to those clients who are unsure of how to begin a project and where to start.  Whether you are planning a room makeover, addition, remodel, new house or building, we can guide you through the process and show you step by step how to achieve your goals.

We will talk you through the design and construction process to explain what you need to do first and what will happen last. We guide our clients from beginning to end, explaining what to expect and what to do to get started.  We are able to offer all services needed for the design and construction of your project or if you prefer we can lead you through the process of running your own job and provide consultation along the way to keep you on track.  Construction consulting can be a one time meeting, an ongoing daily or weekly basis or anything else that you may need. We can structure the contract to meet your needs by billing by the hour, where you determine how much we are needed or as a set fee for the job.

Project Management can be provided when you have a General Contractor but would like another set of eyes making sure everything is being build according to the plans and you are receiving the materials and quality that you have paid for.  We will meet with the contractor and review budgets and timeframes to keep the project on track.  Reports will be generated for the owner to be kept up to speed with what is going on each week.  For clients that do not live nearby, pictures will be included with the updates so they can see the progress that is occurring and understand exactly what is happening.
Project Management is also provided for owners that would like to be involved to some degree.  In these situations, we will handle all of the contracts, paperwork and scheduling, but the owner signs contracts, which we have prepared, directly and the owner pays the bills directly.  This is done for a percentage of the construction cost.
