About
LJM is a relatively new consortium of professionals specializing in preconstruction, planning, architectural design, interior design and procurement/sourcing, cost estimation, operational development and management, and construction. Each member brings 15+ years of experience in their respective field, and together make up a revolutionary style of builder, currently not yet available in the residential construction market.
Specializing in creating a customized experience based on each client's unique project requirements. LJM's target value delivery method allows clients to set their budget and design criteria, and LJM goes to work and delivers.
In most approaches in modern construction, clients will hire a designer (architect, draftsperson, or interior designer) who will charge the client to provide a design. 99.9% of the time, when LJM bids on projects previously designed, even as the low bidder, the design does not fit the client's budget. Why is this? This is because no architect, draftsperson, or interior designer has the experience or level of understanding of market costs, and often can't produce cost estimation during design. On almost EVERY project, we have to complete a constructability review and value engineering to reduce the client's scope back into budget. This can all be avoided, by simply calling us first.
We provide the design services, paired with the appropriate consultants (soils, civil, structural, energy, design, etc), and we manage all consultants through a series of design milestones, where we updates cost estimates and provide feedback to the design team at each stage of design. This ensures that once you have your permit, and you're ready to build, your project (as-designed) meets your budget.
This method allows clients to control their budget, ensures their design needs are met, and maintains their timeline.
When projects are delayed due to re-design or value engineering exercises, this ultimately costs the client more money, as construction material and labor prices aren't going down, their only climbing. This is known as escalation. This escalation can be mitigation and planned for, using the right design-build team.
Let LJM save you the frustration and headache born from traditional plan and spec design and building processes. Let us give you want you want at the price you want to pay, the first time plans are drawn.
