Synergy Process of Home Architecture

YOU ARE EXCEPTIONAL AND UNIQUE.
....WHERE YOU LIVE SHOULD BE, TOO.

The Wittman Synergy Process™ is a proprietary approach to designing a client's ideal home. Forged and honed over 15 years of professional experience -- It begins with the attitude that we are “co-creating” with rather than designing for a client. While this requires additional time commitments from all parties involved, the result is a home that truly fits the owner's needs, exemplifies their values, and fosters their personal growth and happiness for years to come.

The Synergy Process begins with a process of inquiry into what ingredients make up the ideal space for a specific client. We also often utilize a series of proprietary tests to determine the optimal communication style for each person involved-- some people are more visual and some are more verbal, for instance.

Next, prior to engaging our services, we prepare a complimentary Roadmap which outlines and clarifies the various phases and our recommended path to the design and construction of the new home. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, we develop a plan uniquely suited to each client's life situation, budget, goals, aesthetic preferences, sustainability goals, communications style, and ability to deal with the uncertainty inherent in the design/build process.

How are the architect's fee's calculated? Unlike most architects, who charge a percentage of the construction cost, we typically work on a fixed-fee basis. This approach allows us to align our interests with the client's -- in terms of keeping construction costs down. The architect's compensation structure is clearly spelled out in the Roadmap. Also covered is the best way for finding, engaging and managing the right builder for a specific project, the permitting process, interior design, and implementing green technologies such as solar and geothermal. The Roadmap is useful educational tool whether or not you ultimately choose to hire us. The Synergy Process also attempts to streamline the delivery of the architectural services and prepare the client for the different steps of the construction of the home. Ultimately, we want to clarify the process and empower the client to make informed choices at appropriate times during the process of creating their home.

We would be happy to create a complimentary Roadmap for your specific needs and goals. Call us today to begin the process of inquiry....
