It's Time To Rethink Residential Construction
Think of us the way you would a financial planner. They are your first point of contact for all major investments. They guide you in making responsible and strategic decisions to maximize your return on investment. We do the same thing when it comes to new construction or any major renovation. With over 30 years of combined residential construction and design experience, Urban Luxe can turn our expertise into your peace of mind.
First, there are a few key problems within our industry that we directly address:
Contractor
Distrust
Lack of Communication
Poor Workflow & Project Management
Out-of-Control Budgets
Excessive
Change Orders
Overpromised Timelines
Cookie Cutter Designs
Lack of Attention
to Detail
Many of these issues stem from a single contract being signed to complete the entire project before a final design is approved. How can you have a final price without the design and selections in place? Allowances are for DIY Home Depot projects, not custom design and build. It's a bait and switch that causes nothing but headaches, disappointment, and bleeding bank accounts for the homeowner.
Urban Luxe addresses these issues head-on by breaking up your project into two main phases:
1.) Design / Selections / Permitting
2.) Construction and Project Management
Our firm specializes in planning, organizing, and designing your project down to the smallest details. An entire design team, architects and engineers included, as well as unique material vendors all under one roof. Imagine being able to hand a builder or contractor the instruction manual to your project and receiving back a clean labor quote. You will be going into a project knowing exactly how much you will be spending, without fear of costly change orders or of exceeding design allowances (and potentially still not achieving your desired aesthetic).
