that goes beyond any specific project. There is enough respect for everyone to share their goals and concerns. The ability to go back and forth truthfully across the team is powerful; there may be some pushback in some elements, but it’ s real feedback, and that’ s what our subcontractors love.”
Through this approach, Total Concepts has successfully delivered a multitude of projects, with one of its most recently completed – New Vine – being particularly spectacular. Designed by Surround Architecture( Colorado) and Lucas & Lucas( Santa Rosa), the home strikes a balance between the surrounding landscape and sleek, modern design, using elements such as wooden and steel beams and stone walls to bring a sense of nature into the structure.
John shares more:“ For this project, the clients came from Los Angeles after they’ d bought a piece of property. We went through
the process of taking the whole place down and having it redesigned into something larger. However, the pricing came back at more than their budget, so when they hired us to be the contractor, we redesigned it again. We reduced the size but kept the
design elements that were important to the client and kept within their desired budget. It’ s a stunning place and the owners love it.”
Life moments
As John reiterates throughout our conversation, Total Concepts embodies a close-knit culture fostered in alignment with its longstanding family legacy. In fact, John and Mark view the company’ s 30-strong workforce as an extension of their family and deeply value their hard work and shared dedication to creating‘ life-giving’ moments. John explains the meaning behind this value in further detail.
