Daniel is extremely knowledgeable regarding codes and statutes specific to a number of different types of buildings. While the process to finalize plans may take a while, it's because of the level of detail and expertise Daniel integrates. I wouldn't hesitate to use Daniel's services in the future. More...

I have had the privilege to work with Daniel on multiple occasions. To understand the complexities of construction it is wise to hire an architect that is capable of guiding you from start to finish. Daniel is exactly that architect. He is sharp, advanced, and a great communicator. His portfolio should speak for himself.

There are different design and construction models that an owner can choose from to get through design and construction that leads to occupancy of the building or space. Here are two common types:

1) Traditional (the most common): Owner hires an architect, and owner also hires a ‘builder’ or ‘general contractor’. The separation of agreement between architect and contractor is not uncommon but is usually more of burden for the owner, and almost always with conflict between the three parties. Keep in mind; there are also differences between state builders and state certified general contractors, so be sure to review each as each has a different type of license, and one has more limitations and perhaps less knowledge than the other. The traditional method is not the most owner friendly method and usually is not as cost effective as the next type to be discussed. It can be a difficult task for the architect to constantly need to justify drawings to the owner because the owner inadvertently hired a change order hungry contractor, which is extremely common. Additional costs from contractor and architect are almost guaranteed to owner.

2) Design Build: The owner has the ability to contract with only one party, The Design Builder is either a joint venture between architect and contractor, or one company with both the license of architect and with contract administrators or licensed contractors. The slightly higher upfront costs are usually offset with an overall project savings from a tighter management style.

I bring this up because after 25 years in the industry, I find that there are way too many similar arguments between the owner, the owners contractor, and the owners architect. Ask Daniel about the Design Build process, he will most likely prefer one method over the other. Each contract type has its pros and cons and there may be only one type suitable for your project. Daniel explains this well. More...

I love the ymca its a great place! I just hate the child watch for people who work through the week and they only do it until 730, Me getting off at 630 and heading straight there with my family, My huband and I only get a 30 minute workout at best, I didnt know they would close eairler going into the Spring/Summer months, I thought maybe with it being brighter outside longer the hours would change for the better. I may have to cancel my membership and find another place to workout ;( More...
