Why use an AIBD Designer?

Building a home incurs the greatest finanicial burden most people will face in a lifetime. Whenever one embarks on a new journey or takes the first steps into unfamiliar territory, it is advisable to enlist the help of an experienced guide. Few of lifes choices demand a greater degree of thought than that of a custom home. Thoughtout the design and construction process you now face, you will have a constant companion and an experienced mentor to aid you, instruct you, and share your dreams: Your AIBD Professional Designer.

Since 1950, AIBD has provided designers with educational resources, and has developed nationwide design standards and a code of ethics for the design profession. Today AIBD is a nationally recognized associaion with professional and associate members in 46 states and throughout Canada.

Your choice of an AIBD designer or designer-builder acknowledges your discerning taste for excellence ---- the hallmark of every AIBD member. AIBD designers are proud of their skill, their education, their craftsmanship, and of the quality that they design into every home.

Do you have a mental picture of your new home? Perhaps you already know what you want but just don't know how to explain it? Maybe you are not quite sure of what you want but you know what you do not want. Think about how you use the home you live in now. What do you like about it? What works, what does not work, and how might you want life to function differently in your new home. For example would a deck or covered rear porch give you the ideal spot to relax in the mornings with a cup of coffee? Do you and your family enjoy computer games, television, and music listening? Do you entertain formally or is it just quite nights at home now that the kids are grown? Remember -- how things work now is not the way they must stay! Your AIBD designer is ready to show you a new way of living.
