Architect Led Design Build Firm

Avec was formed on the belief of a better process; one that brings together designers and contractors collaborating with the client to deliver a built project, that energizes and empowers the design team, the construction team, and ultimately the owner.

Fall is in the air! Just because we are hard at work doesn’t mean we can’t take in the little joys of the seasons changing.

The Octagon Art Festival just happened in Ames which got us thinking about the significance of the octagonal shape not just in art, but architecture! Octagonal shaped buildings have been around for centuries. Their spiritual significance and stylistic growth have had a large impact on architecture through the years. Learn more about The Octagon Center for the Arts’s first home and how William Thornton (Architect of the White House) incorporated octagonal designs in the current headquarters of the American Institute of Architects on our Substack.

We previously talked about the benefits of utilizing an Architect from a Design + Build firm. Similarly, choosing a Builder who is part of an integrated Design + Build firm like Avec offers great advantages. Design decisions can be made with a better understanding of construction constraints when the Builder is able to weigh in on decisions along the way. Once construction begins, our team already knows the ins and outs of the project. Communication and decisions happen faster than traditional Architect-Builder relationships, which leads to quicker and more thorough problem solving, which ultimately saves time and money for our clients.
