It comes down to creativity and experience.

Creativity comes from tossing all assumptions aside and adding knowledge of the construction process, the needs of the project with the dreams of the client; merged into a finished structure.
My experience consists of twenty-seven plus years of commercial and residential building, landscape design and construction. I have designed over 1400 residential projects built in the surrounding areas of Tampa Bay. I have participated on several award winning projects across Florida. In addition I have enjoyed the opportunity to work for some of the leading architects of Florida: Edward Hillstrom AIA a Taliesin Fellowship member and international renowned landscape architect Peter Burner ASLA.
