What we do

A full-service design-build company

Maybe you have a general concept but no design or location. Maybe you have a location but no firm design. Maybe you have a location, drawings and specifications. No problem. Wherever you are, we can help, and we can even help you secure financing.

We do everything, so you don't have to:

  • Find a location
  • Work with an architect
  • Obtain permits and topography assessments

Our approach

Planning upfront is how we save you money.

When you work with us, we take time at the start to discuss the project and learn what you're trying to achieve. We'll ask you to think through your budget, list your needs versus wants, and talk with your team so nothing is missed. We walk you through project plans and budget sheets, so you know exactly what to expect.

Ironing out design issues before the architect or the build begins avoids costly plan revisions and construction delays. It's easy to waste money on a construction project by not thinking through what you want. We make sure that doesn't happen.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What does a design-build company do?

As a full-service design-build company, we handle the whole project: finding a location, working with an architect, obtaining permits and topography assessments, the construction itself and the final touches. You can be as involved as you like, and we can even help you secure financing.

Why invest time at the beginning?

To save you money. We discuss the project upfront, ask you to think through your budget and your needs versus wants, and walk you through project plans and budget sheets. Ironing out design issues before the architect or the build starts avoids costly plan revisions and construction delays.

What do you mean by Phase 2?

We always assume your project will have a Phase 2. Sometimes it's because of budget limits at the time of building; sometimes it's to leave room for growth. We design buildings for easy expansion and choose lots with ample room for another wing or a larger parking lot.

For you, that means future changes are cost effective and never require a complete rebuild. It's important to us to always look ahead.

What is the A & Y difference?

We bring visions to reality. We have a personal relationship with each client and are available 24/7. We treat every project as if it were our own.

And we never give up. If your budget doesn't meet your goals, we'll take the time to work out a solution that leaves you thrilled with the end result.

Do I need drawings or a location before contacting you?

No. Whether you have only a general concept, a location without a firm design, or a full set of drawings and specifications, we can help from wherever you are in the project.

We're excited to show you the A & Y difference.
