_________________________________________________________________________________________________ Total Concepts
In celebration of this milestone, Modern Home Builders sits down with John to uncover the contributing factors behind Total Concepts’ longevity and continuing success. John starts by sharing insight into the company’ s primary specialisms.
“ Our estate residences vary greatly in architectural design, from modern farm homes to something more Mediterranean. It all depends on what our clients want; many of our clients are coming to us to build their dream home which, in many cases is their last, so it really varies in terms of design and size,” he begins.“ Most of our homes are somewhere between the area of 4000 to 12,000 square feet and usually have multiple buildings, so there will be a main house, a barn house, a guest house, etcetera. All of our homes vary greatly and that’ s what makes it fun; you’ re always working on things that are new and unique to that specific project.”
Strong partnerships
In turn, Total Concepts champions what it refers to as‘ integrated project delivery’ – an approach that places client collaboration and communication at its core. Beginning at the start of preconstruction, often before the client has even purchased land, the company forms a specialist team of architects, designers, and subcontractors, and engineers- all specifically curated to execute the client’ s vision to the highest standards of quality, cost effectiveness, and efficiency.
Such delivery, of course, is reliant on strong partnerships, constant collaboration, and teamwork – three things that Total Concepts embodies throughout all the facets of its business.
“ Trust is the true establisher of any partnership,” John elaborates.“ We’ ve worked with many of our partners for several years, and so we have a mutual understanding
