The best homes begin with a dialogue between architect, client, designer and builder. Identifying and understanding the client’s vision, needs, and key building issues from the start are essential to developing successful long-term solutions. The client’s needs are assigned the highest priority.
Each project involves unique challenges, and we regard every client as a valuable asset in the entire building process. We provide clients with leadership and one-on-one personal attention, beginning with a preliminary design review, site and plan studies, budgeting and continuing throughout the project. Hine Advisory offers comprehensive, well-documented information empowering clients to make educated decisions about design, scheduling and budgeting.
Clear communication is critical in meeting expectations and achieving successful results. We keep information consolidated and organized so the owner and project team can make informed decisions throughout the project.
Cost management begins at inception. Our review of the preliminary design allows us the opportunity to begin a dialogue on budget development. These valuable early discussions ensure a productive use of time as the architectural drawings are further developed and details of the home are refined.
When the construction drawings and specifications allow, we review detailed pricing and itemized costs. Hine Advisory brings a long history of analyzing costs, providing options and value engineering to meet budgetary goals.
Expenses are better managed when reviewed early and often. During the construction phase, we review costs and financial reporting to help the owner understand where the project stands.
Our goal is to accommodate the client’s budget while providing optimal value - always with complete transparency.
During the project’s early stages, primary building materials are established. Long and short-term costs are examined to provide choices that are both durable and economical. Product life cycles, restored and reclaimed materials are other considerations. Throughout the building phase, our research continues, informing decisions about the best, most appropriate materials for the home.
Exceptional homes are technologically advanced, soundly constructed and seamlessly integrated with today’s complex and sophisticated infrastructures. These high standards of excellence depend on the talent, sensibilities and perseverance of fine craftsmen whose experience and skills enable the creation of the finest architectural details. A hallmark of Tim’s work is his long-standing relationships with highly talented tradesmen who share these ideals of design integrity and superb quality.
Hine Advisory reviews and monitors a detailed, realistic project timeline on the owner’s behalf, including dates for material and design decisions that may affect the agreed target completion date. Concerns are raised early, helping to ensure that responsibilities and deadlines remain clear.
We consistently recognize all of the client’s special personal requirements to ensure the home is perfectly tailored to meet their individual needs and aspirations.
