Dear Builders: When a client of yours needs help picking every fixture and finish, who usually ends up walking them through it?
You know the client who can't decide on tile? Or the one who picks a $4,800 tub filler when the primary bath allowance is $12,000, and they still need a shower trim, two lavs, and a toilet? Or the one who changes their mind two weeks before the trade needs to order?
That's what AVCO Design solves. We focus on the messy middle of a build: helping your clients pick every fixture and finish, working within the allowances you've set, and handing you a clean spec package your trades can actually build from.
If your client wants to upgrade an item, we will handle the conversation with them and surface the outcome to you in writing as a documented upgrade.
We attend weekly site meetings and sign off on field deviations in real time. We catch things at the rough-in, not on the punch list.
Our checkpoints are built around construction phases. We show up for blocking, MEP rough-in, tile dry-lay, and countertop templating because those are the moments when decisions are most expensive to undo.
We continue with these clients on furniture, art, and window treatments after the build is done. That's a separate scope from yours and gives us a real reason to leave them happy with the build, not just finished with it.
Worth a coffee to see if there's any fit? Send us a message. Coffee is on us.
Sincerely,
AVCO Design
