Our Design Philosophy

At Sinnott and Company, we attempt to design structures that age well and promote the client's needs. That includes careful consideration of function, style, construction costs, and operation costs. Green or sustainable design features are an important part of this approach.

Projects are designed in recognizable styles, but with traditional flaws removed.
Contemporary elements, including lighting, are mixed with traditional forms to create fresh interpretations of successful styles. Care is taken not to casually mix elements and confuse architectural themes.

We have also discovered that an unhurried design process creates the best buildings. A tremendous amount of time and money is spent converting a design concept into a building. Therefore an adequate amount of time should be spent on conceptual design.

Our Approach

We let the client know the schedules and budget as early and realistically as possible. The decisions made during the architectural process determine the construction cost, schedules, and outcome. From the outset, we discuss construction budgets and construction schedules, as well as design fees and schedules.

We do not shortcut design work to save the client fee. They pay for incomplete design many times over in additional construction costs and lost resale value.

Our focus is always on the final built product. Great construction projects are the result of a great design process.

Because construction costs are about ten times the design fee, we spend whatever design time is necessary to control these costs. Design work is done on an hourly basis to provide flexibility for our clients and ourselves in this endeavor.

If we are fortunate enough to build your project after we design it, that work is done under a different agreement for a stipulated sum.

All of our field staff are nonsmoking professionals experienced in working in home and business environments. Their respectful approach keeps disruptions to a minimum.
